Pure Aero Roland Garros. Need help.

Hello people. I recently bought a used PA RG edition on the internet. I have a regular PA as well. Aside from the cosmetic and dunlop grip on the RG, the two seem identical. Big difference in the weight though. Regular PA weighs 320 gr. strung and RG 301 strung with the same string. The difference in grip weight is roughly 4-5 grams. I searched for a Team version with the RG paintjob but it doesn't seem to exist. Can't figure out where this discrepancy hides . Where am I not checking ? Could this racket be fake ? Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

is it a PA lite? the specs are on the racket itself. what is the weight written on the racket?

300 grams 10.6 ounces. I've checked other rackets with the same specs and they're all around 320 grams so i'm ruling out my scale. Complete mystery.

Same length? Many reported the RG versions to be shorter

Babolat QC is probably the culprit. At least you can lead up the lighter one.

It's shorter by 2mm. I'm going to hang it on a wall and stick to the regular banana

I'm on it. Even though I bought it second hand, I can't seem to find peace. Ordered syntec team grip and will restring for a match on Friday.
