strange rackets

I have two different rackets in my bag, I personally have 3 Wilson k exclusive rackets, my wife uses my Wilson federer 110 racket which I bought first.
here are the specs of the exclusive racket.
Weight (Unstrung) in grams
284g

Head Size
103 sq in

Beam Width
25mm

Balance
340mm (Even)

Length
27.25 inches

Factory Strings
Wilson Synthetic Gut Extreme

Stringing Tension Range
53-63 lbs

String Pattern
16/20

Composition
Graphite, Karophite Black


and the 110 racket.
■Weight unstrung: 295g
■Head Size: 110 ins
■Beam width: 23mm
■Length: 27.25ins
■Factory strings: Wilson nylon 15L
■String pattern: 16 x 20
■Composition: Aluminium/Titanium

even though it is stated that the rackets have two different head sizes, if you put one on top of the other, the heads are the same size.
the string pattern is the same, but it does seem as if there aren't enough strings on the 110 racket.

the exclusive racket is lighter by 11g which might not be much, if I play with my exclusive racket and then try the 110 racket, the 110 racket feels a lot lighter even though it is the heavier racket.

can anyone explain what is happening here?

Pictures would help, but I think it's just because they are probably both 105 or something like that. Not all rackets are measured the same with the head size. Head rackets are actually 3 inches smaller then what is advertised! :)

sorry, the specs on the exclusive racket are slightly wrong.

Length
27.5"

Grip Sizes
0-4

Balance
34cm

Head Size
103"

Unstrung Weight
269g

Pattern
16 x 20

Cross Section
24mm Aero High Beam

I did think that too.
the reason the 110 racket looks like it doesn't have enough strings is because it has a very dense string pattern in the middle of the racket.

if the rackets are 3 inches smaller than advertised, my exclusive racket should have a head size of 100 sq in instead of 103.

thanks again dude :)

sorry dude, I didn't see that you said HEAD rackets are usually smaller than stated.
I thought you were talking about all rackets.
