U is the original total weight scale of a racket. usually (and relatively), as the number gets bigger, the lighter the racket is
G is the original circumference scale of a racket's grip. usually, as the number gets bigger, the smaller the grip is.

hope that helped

Thks for the feedback. I just got a Ti-3 Light & the imprint is reading sometime like 3U 4G. Now waiting for the re-stringing done, have not play with it yet, but i can feel the swing point is around the T-joint area. Light but dunno whether is it "powderful" or not?:confused:

After discount, it cost S$129 at sportlink tampines, originally was S$169...come with 1 yonex bag & 1 yonex T-shirt & BG-65 string...btw, the max string tension indicated is 20lbs, but i told the stringer to do it at 22lbs...dunno get crack or not...

bye bye birdie

your racket shouldnt crack at 22lbs.... 3U G4 is probably the most popular weight/grip size.... G1 big G5 small
