    Hate to point out the obvious, but is there a plug inside the handle? That's normally worth 10 mm at the very least...

    It's the first thing I'll do if my 3U is too heavy.

    Ah but my friend mine I would dare say is rather more on the light side. With original grip and VS850 it came in at 89.40g with a HW of 41.12g.

    Well, we'll see what happens when it gets here; my foam-wrapped tail-end adds weight and reduces balance, so taking the handle weight out would only get me back to spec.

    Say...
    After taking off the plastic wrap frm the handle, ZM66F:+3.5g and G10 overgrip + cushion wrap: +7.5g would add bout 11g to total weight.
    But BP will b reduced by 4g (7.5-3.5)... will that b right? Assuming 1g=1mm, then its -4mm frm dry BP, correct?

    Got my 3u TK9900 today. It's a sample/"players edition" which should be slightly stiffer than the production ones that follow. Got it through one of victor distributors so it's legit. What amazed me was the bp; 320 wet :eek: How the hell am supposed to defend or play at the net with this monster? "Dare to smash", lulz - more like "ME HULK, ME SMASH" Also, the head size seems quite small. The head's narrower than ZF1's which is news to me.

    I thought the tk9900 was supposed to be a faster and lower bp than tk9000 competitor for ZFII but this BP seems quite extreme. My ZF1 seems tamer than this lot. I haven't played with the 9900 yet as i just dropped the racket to my stringer. I hope to test it next friday, will give some impressions then.

    Shaft code if sample, mean is a prototype product, that is very much different with the player coded. Player coded is having MYC2Pxxxxx.
