weight of asian six.one tour blx vs the res of the world

I went to look at some racquets yesterday (in asia currently) and I was looking at the specs of feds racquet (asian) versus the one on the official wilson website and which says it weighs 12 oz. unstrung, but on this asian model it says 11.3 oz unstrung; is this normal? and does anyone know why this is?

the asian version have always been lighter

20grams less on the handle, then you have the asian version, the weight and the balance.

Yes 20g lighter than Western version. It's actually a more playable stick, same characteristics albeit less stable. US version users can get this and put silicone inside the handle, and they will have an improved BLX90. You can read more on the thread for it.

Is this the same for all companies? for example, my bab PRD roddick gt, would that be lighter than one bought in the US or Europe?
