    U refers to the weight of the racket, the higher the number the lighter the racket. G refers to size of the grip.

    For Yonex racket, the higher the G the smaller the grip size: G3 ~ 89mm; G4 ~ 86mm; G5 ~ 83mm.

    For other brand such as Proace, RSL, etc the smaller the G the smaller the grip. Usually they are G2 suitable for Asian player.

    Hope this helps.
