KBlade 98 specs can't be right

[G-Man]

Do the specs posted for the Kblade 98 look funny to anybody? First of all, the weight. It's supposed to be 304 grams unstrung (as printed on the racquet), yet TW says strung weight is 315 grams. That can't be, can it!? Strings weigh only 11 grams??? My X1 Biphase strings weigh about 18-20 grams. So that takes it to more like 322-324 grams strung. If so, that changes the balance, which is ceratinly not 3 pts HL. More like evenly balanced. And swingweight, allegedly 325, increases as well. I realize Wilson quality control is horrible and shame on them, but I wanted to poll you guys and see what some of you think the real specs might be. Thank you.

With Wilson the specs differ from what the producer says they should be... actually I'd trust TW on this one. I weighed a nBlade recently... it weighed 289g unstrung (factory grip, no changes) and it should weigh 304g... count for yourself.

Just weighed mine. It is stock. Weight was 11.1oz strung which matches TWs spec.

A while back I posted results for weight & balance of my 2 KB98's. Surprisingly, given Wilson's reputation for iffy QC, both of mine were 100% spot on in both weight & balance. A scale & balance board are great tools to take the guess-work out of the equation.
