Henman changed the balance of his racquet later on. Wasn't as headlight as before. Also pretty stiff.

I had his custom racket a couple years ago but sold it, i took it for a spin and it was very stiff, quite head light, thicker beam (22mm) i didnt found any lead.
Here's a pic of the racket on scale, it says 355 grams. (sorry for the quality)

heman used a wilson pro staff of some kind with out the pws for many years from what i hear. in the last few years he was using a nat gut and bb timo hybrid string job.

do you have any idea of the grip size?

No print but it felt like a slightly bigger 4 3/8 or L3.

Quad Flex and NX Type II

Can anyone tell me if Quad Flex is the update to the NX Racquets? i.e. The Quad Flex 305 to replace the NX One?

Thanks
