2 ti-10 longs, different lengths?!

[nickelndimin]

I have 2 ti-10 longs. One is 2U G4 SP version, the other is 3U G4 US version, but the SP version is longer by about a cm for some reason. Both appear to be genuine but I may be wrong. The paint job on both seem perfect. I have attached a couple images.

I cant be 100% sure that they are genuine but the widths of the racket head are the same so i dont think its because of the tension (24 lbs). The longer rackets is brand new and has never been strung. The shorter one is a US version and is about 4 years old. Ive read that there is a regular and non regular version of the ti-10. Are these the 2 versions that I have?

Is the shorter one wider than the longer one? In that case, it may be the result of the frame being deformed to stringing. The paintjob seems quite flawless but did you buy it from a registered liscenced dealer?

You need to cut all the strings on them and then, compare the length:rolleyes:

exactly. the strung one will obviously have its frame compressed somewhat by the strings. the uneven compression will be due to improper stringing, perhaps.

Also, if you are/were using high tension, watch out for the frame distortion if stringing is not done correctly. Distortion sometimes is permanent; it will not go back to its original shape even if you cut the strings.
