*Unstrung weight is part of the name given to this racquet by the manufacturer. String never weighs more than 25 grams, so if there is more than a 25 gram variance between Unstrung Weight and Strung Weight then the manufacturer most likely measured the Unstrung Weight of the raw graphite frame (i.e. without grip, grommets, or paint). In addition, due to the porous nature of graphite material, all manufacturers approve of a +/-10 gram variance during the manufacturing process.
Previous Feedback
Comments: Stress fracture at handle/neck after 2nd day of use (less than 10 games). Racquet held but there is hairline crack. Hopefully this isn't like the original Invasions. Returned to RbW. Going to switch back to 160 Quad... I had a Heatseeker 2.0 for nearly 3 years before it broke... the day E-force came out with this years 2014 racquets... go figure. Racquet played great btw... best of Heatseeker series!!! Maybe my experience was just a freak flaw... we will see soon! Check back on HS 3.0 - 160 feedback.
