What is different
Weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
The same face on both: carbon 12k.
No edge either way
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 350 to 360 g and 350 g.
No edge either way
The same balance point, 270 mm from the end of the handle.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
