Wilson Jack Kramer Autograph Specs?

[moon shot]

Last week I bought a Jack Kramer Autograph on craigslist. I have a grab bag of frames I usually hit with (POG 107, Tour G 330, Pro Staff 90) and with the new to me woodie I was loving the plow, feel, and lower frequency vibration.

I was wondering what the average swingweight of a Jack Kramer Autograph might? Swingweight seems to be more informative to what I like than any other measurement. I suppose the tolerance of one frame to the next might vary greater with wood.

It weighs 13.8 oz with a overgrip on it, I'll check the balance tonight.

13.8 oz is the weight of your JKA and its a L, M, or H ? Grip size ? The grip size affects the overall weight and usually the ones over 5/8 like 3/4+ were "H"eavies.

Would like to have the specs, Racket Static weight (g/oz) Flex Swingweight for some of the classic wood rackets, maybe Dino Lagaffe has calculated ?

The Rossignol F200 was just about the most flexible grahite racket ever produced, would love to compare to some famous woods, ie:

Rossignol F200 (Blue) - 349/12.31/33/345
Wilson JKA - 391/13.8/??/??
Wilson Prostaff
Wilson Advantage
Donnay Borg Pro
Dunlop Maxply Fort
Bancroft Borg Personal
Wright & Ditson Topflite

The grip size is a medium 1/2.

I picked up a Jack Kramer Flight today as well. It is in much worse condition

The Kramer autograph is a players racket. The Kramer flight is a beginners racket. The JKA holds up pretty well over time, the JK flight shows how age affects a cheaper design.

Excuse my ignorance but what is swing weight vs racquet weight . For example the Max 200G I did a stealth matt black PJ on now weighs just under 400 grams (yes very heavy) but the swing weight?
