    Hello,

    just out of curiosity, I've weighed my old racket (~17 years). It weighs 110g altogether (including strings and handle wrappings), the weight is distributed 70g:40g on handle:head.

    Since the weight measurements in reviews etc. do not include the strings and handle wrappings (or do they) - how does this overall weight compare to modern rackets?

    And would the weight distribution be considered head heavy or not (or is it not really possible to tell without actually comparing it to other rackets directly)?

    Thanks!

    Oh - and is there a good way to find out how much tension it has right now? I.e., can you actually measure that? Or is that something an experienced person would just "feel"?
