    Hi all,

    Any KRP code user care to share their KRP racket balance point with or w/o string. I have a BS12N Krp with 305 balance point w/ string and 1 overgrip weight at 92.5g.

    Assuming 10g for string and overgrip, that would make your racket 82.5g dry... Is it a 4U?

    Hi Visor, nope its 3U. Previously I measured Dry was about 90.1g and that include original grip/ plastic wrapper on grip/ Victor specs paper on grip. Now with string and RKEP elite grip on wood grip measured at 92.5g.

    Ah right, factory grip removed. So add back 6g or so makes 88.5g dry...

    How's the shaft stiffness compared to regular BS12N?

    I didn't get to try regular bs12n only flex it in retail shop. By flexing both, I feel krp code its stiffer than regular maybe 4/5 stiffness.

    I can give head weight next week. Scale hasn't come yet. Can't give exact dry weight though. Original grip is long gone and I use towel xD

    Not relying on BP. That's too shoddy since I'm on towels. Waiting for stringer to string to give wet weight and head weight. It's being strung with yellow 850 and on a strip of yellow GR338 past the cone. Think in between Yoo and Shin. But I fully expect it to be at least 103g.

    Argh... we'll never get the dry *stock* measurements because you modify the grip by removing the factory grip and replacing with towel... :(

    I have ordered a BS12 KRP and a BS12N KRP. But they will come strung. If and when it arrives, I'd be happy to get any measurements you want before I grip it.

    Pfft. He'll want everything. Dry/wet weight & BP xD either way the only way to measure KRPs dry is by wasting money. Because they must be sold strung.

    Even if it's strung, I can estimate the dry specs. But not if you mess around with the grip... :p
