Head 2022 Butt Cap - weighted or standard trap door?

[Gooner]

Hi @TW Staff or anyone who can give a definitive answer:

Does the Head 2022 Butt Cap have a weighted trap door?

Thanks in advance!

Should be weighted as all the frames listed came from the factory with the weighted cap G360+
I also bought some butt caps from TW and they had the weighted trap door

I'd also like to raise this as a clarity issue.

Especially as TWE lists both the "TK219S/TK219HR" as "Weighted 5g", but also have the "Head Butt Cap 2022"... what's the difference between these?

I couldn't really see a difference between the Butt Cap that's been coming on my 360+ rackets vs. something newer like the Boom Pro which I assume would have the 2022 Butt Cap?

I’d like to inquire about this as well! @TW Staff, could you guys help us clear this up?

There are currently three Head butt caps available from Tennis Warehouse:

1.) “Head Butt Cap”
2.) “Head 2022 Butt Cap”
3.) “Head Standard Butt Cap Glossy Black”

I just bought some TK82S pallets in size 4 1/2, and I’m looking to buy some 4 1/2 butt caps to go with them. I’d like to know which of these butt caps weighs the least, though!

@TW Staff, would you guys mind sharing the weights, in grams, for each of these options?

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Astonish,

The weights for these buttcaps are 17g for the Head Butt Cap and Head 2022 Butt Cap. Unfortunately we did not have any of the Glossy Black to measure in a 1/2 size.

17 grams? Did you mean 7 grams?

CosmosMpower,

The whole buttcap including the trap door weighs 17 grams.

Thanks,

Ah ok I was thinking of just the weighted trap door.

Is TK219HR more sturdy than the lighter butt cap? Is it shaped to fit Tk82S pallet, I’ve cracked a reused head butt cap stapling it
