[adams_1]

Wilson nBlade - 322 grams (11.4 oz) w/ overgrip and rubber band. Fairly light, I suppose.

 

[nickb]

Tell me about it... couldn't believe it given Wilson's famous quality control.

They are still way of spec!

Alternates when feeling silly:

Button dampener, 16ga nylon strings , 1 overgrip, No lead

Head Pro Aluminum racquet 12.9 oz
Shockbuster, 15ga nylon strings , 1 overgrip, No lead



The only "light" racquet I own is a Prince TT Graphite that I think is around 11 oz - can't stand it - like hitting with a stick of Styrofoam.

Size (mass) does matter - those racquets outweigh the ball by around 7 to 1 - the ball doesn't dictate play in that case. And I don't feel vibrations, have tennis elbow, etc.

You just have to be able to get the the frames moving
