    You would be better specifying the string and without grip as they are all different weights.

    My Ti10 with BG68Ti @ 22lbs and Yonex micro grip.

    The balance point is 291mm.

    I think my racket is a little bit head light.

    ok... this picture.. i assume it's a real Ti-10...


    notice the Word 'TITANIUM MESH' Especially at the H there?


    well... for my TI-10.. the black paint reaches the H while in the picture it does not.....

    the black paint stops at the fifth grommet in the picture... but for my ti-10.. the black paint continues until the sixth grommet..

    How can you know your balance point and what does it do?

    Higher balance point= more head heavy?

    I tried to check on my racquet and I dont find the balance point:(

    beside type of string and overgrip, don't forget to specify

    2U or 3U

    regular or long version

    I propose that all balance point measurement be done with string and no overgrip.

    An easy way to find your balance point is to place the racquet on top of one finger on the shaft until it balances on your finger by moving it up and down the length of the shaft. That will be your balance point.

    A balance point closer to the handle indicates a head-light racquet. A balance point closer to the head indicates a head-heavy racquet. And then somewhere in the middle is an even-balanced racquet.

    275mm??? Doesn't it make Ti-10 light-headed?

    And I thought everyone out there thinks Ti-10 is super head-heavy?

    Unless your overgrip is pure lead, I would say your Ti-10 is a bit screwed up, or is mine... My Ti-10's balance point is 298 mm. =S

    btw Ti-10 definitely DOES NOT go with blue strings - YUCK!

    Black strings KICK BUTT - boyakasha!!

    I did measure my ti10 balance point by placing it on the ruler and it come out with 275 mm. I love the Micro legend and all my racquets are string with it. It is the best string I have ever used comparing with the all crap YONEX.

    If it's 275 with strings then it's probably a fake. Even four strips of lead tape at the handle tip won't move the balance much THAT much.

    I used to have a 2U Ti-10 Long and the balance point is somewhere around 285mm and it doesn't feel head heavy. Maybe Ti-10 Long's are not head heavy?

    i might get a pic of my ti10 with black strings soon. until then you'll just have to trust me that it is THE colour to use.

    2us are meant to be more head heavy than 3us. my ti10 2u/g4 has balance point at 295mm. maybe it depends a lot on the grip size?
