I believe that's the new Gravity paint job.
It's the pre-release paint-job so I've heard. Kinda like the Clash black & white zebra effect that was knocking about before it was released in the black, red & grey. The actual Gravity design is mostly black with turquoise & salmon pink effects, again, I can't confirm this and Head have been very quick in trying to remove any pictures of it but I've found some by a simple internet search . . . .

Did Zverev change racket specs? His racket seems to be swinging way faster than usual in that UTS championship

watched some of his replays over years and it's like 50/50 with and without dampner. is this related to his racquet switch?

all same minus the commercial weight in the handle (TGK vs. TGT)
However, the TGT344.1 and TGT344.3 have additional difference in String Pattern

So TGT is the pro stock (no weight in the handle) version of equivalent retail TGK sticks? This may not have always been like this: I have a couple of TGK 238.2 (with that code printed in the throat) and also a few of the retail MG Prestige Pros, and the pro stock feels much softer than the retail version.

That is correct. It used to be all over the place. Before Youtek era, retail and pro stock shared TGK designation. Then TGK disappeared in favor of TGT.
Today, head uses TGK for retail, TGT for Pro stock equivalent (same mold and layup) and PT (special layups and molds).
TGK and TGT are made in same factories and the difference between “equivalents” is the weight. By “equivalents” I mean the TGK344.1 and TGT344.4 for example. All TK344 molds (note the mold designator is “TK”) are identical 344.1, 344.3, 344.4. .1 is 16x19 (Barty), .3 is non-parallel drill (Zverev and Rublev)... just an example

I know this is an old thread but hoping you can help me out. I’m seeing an online retailer selling a TGT344.4. I use the retail grab pro and would like to try something identical just slightly lighter. I’m assuming everything is identical in mould and layup to the retail model just 15grams lighter. Is the weight difference coming just from the missing steel in the handle or is it removed evenly throughout the frame?? Thanks.

The weight in the handle is removed for the pro stock.
Too much wine sorry!

So that would make the initial balance quite head heavy then I’m assuming?

The site is pro stock tennis and the code they’re using is tgt344.4. Not really familiar with pro stocks.

Not head heavy but less HL than the retail.
The TGT344.4 is the pro stock (18x20) version of the TGK344.1 (retail)
