Please help me identify this Prostaff Tour 90

I just bought a PS Tour 90 from here on TT. Can someone tell me if it is an authentic Wilson product? The reason I am asking is that it is different from the matched pair I have.

Here is some info:

------------------------This racquet -------------------My racquets

Strung weight --------12.05oz (342 gram) ------------12.51oz (355 gram)
Balance ----------------3 pts HL (strung)------------- 9 pts HL (strung)
Butt Cap ---------------With trap door -------------- no trap door

Sepecs printing are arranged totally different from those two I have.

This racquet has tension, length, weight, headsize, balance, pattern, Si6.0 all printed on the racquet.

My racquet only has tension range, headsize and powver level 107 printed.

The racquets have a weight labled as 12.0 oz and Balance 30.5cm/11.9 pts HL (that acurate???)

I believe Wilson has made quite a few batches but the 0.5 OZ off the mark? Could it be the Asian version? The specs does look like the asian version of ncode 6.1 tour 90 though. I believe some of you guys have purchased ps tour 90 from Wilson authorized dealers. Your sharing of information is highly appreciated!

Maybe it is Wilson's quality control problem again!

I will post some pictures later.

I have read some posts here about the bad quality control of Wilson racquets. I guess 15 gram off is within their marginal error. It is easy to fix though. I just put lead tape on the handle under the leather grip and now all my three racquets are matched. I just need to string it up with my favorite string and see if it feels the same as the two I had.

I have 2 tour 90 racquets purchased from authorized Wilson dealer in Canada. One is 349g and the other is 350g, both are strung weight. Both sticks are equally balanced. I have purchased a pair of ncode 90's from them a year before, from the same place and they both are at 358g and 360g, and are equally balanced. I have read that that the spec range for both of these racquets should be no lower then 354g and no higher then 361g (strung.) Mine are a touch lower then the manufactures tollerance range, but the racquets play and feel nice. Also, my tour 90's are more head light then the n90's by a .25 inch.

Tour 90 throat specs (my racquets)
-tension 50-60
-lenght 27in.
-weight 340g
-headsize 90
-balance 11.9 HL
-pattern 16x19
-s.i. 6.0
-grey box: inside containing the specs. I have seen pictures with a red box.

After weighing my tour 90's i was also wondering if I had been given asian models in stead of the heavier us model, but I was assurred by Wilson of Canada that the shipment of raquets that were given to reseller from whom I purchased the racquets from are US models.

I will post pictures later tonight.

I know I may get blasted for this, bringing this topic from the dead, but I was wondering if someone could help me answer the question of the OP. I'm actually looking at a Pro Staff Tour 90 on the big auction site that has the same throat specs as the one in the picture. It's different from the one I own, which has the red and power level. Can someone (maybe BreakPoint?) let me know if the one in the picture above is actually the Asian version? Or is this just a paint job for a newer paint job? Specs are different than the one I own it seems. Any help is appreciated.

PS: I've been digging up old threads on this racquet but I haven't found anything about them being the same racquet.
