    Hi guys,

    I am actually looking for a new racket, less head heavy than my lining n70-II.
    The head balance is 300mm.
    Actually when i take it in my hands i feel like it's heavier than a n90I.
    I would like to know how head heavy is the armortec 900p (290 or 300mm ?)
    And if you could compare to the lining.. Thank you :D

    The most accurate way is to use a portable digital scale accurate to 0.1g and measure the bp with a ruler, preferably on a racket with no string and no overgrip. Then the "head wt" can be estimated to be
    wt * bp / 675mm
    (675mm being length of racket)

    So when you go to the store with your scale and ruler, you can measure the rackets and get one that is in the right range for you.

    This is the best way to choose a racket with the right head wt, because even with one model (say n70-II) there are variations in manufacturing that causes a scatter of wt and bp around the target specs. And you'll be open to random chance if you just pick one off the shelf without measuring.
