337g static weight? I never realised the PDR was that heavy.

It wasn't. Previous models were 11.7 or 11.6 oz strung. I like the extra weight in this version, considering that the SW is right where I like it. But, I wish they'd ease up on the stiffness slightly - 67 or 68, which is still plenty stiff. The extra weight should provide some more oomph and stability, thus I think stiffness could be decreased.

I wouldn't assume anything has changed. TW has the last version at 11.8, so the weight here is well within the margin of error/variability. Both are listed as 5 points HL, and with the new one possibly a bit heavier, it's not likely the SW is lower.
