The Numbers

Source

Specifications from the official Babolat website.
Art. 101551

  • Weight 305 g / 10.8 oz unstrung

    Tour weight. More mass means more stability and plow-through against heavy balls. Rewards full, well-timed swings.

  • Head size 630 cm² / 98 in²

    Midplus. The modern standard. A generous sweet spot with plenty of control, the choice of most club and tour players.

  • Balance 325 mm · 6 pts HL

    Head-light. More weight in the handle makes the racket feel lighter than it is. Fast to swing and quick to react at the net.

  • String pattern 16/20

    Semi-dense pattern. One extra cross string adds control and a more predictable launch angle while keeping good spin access.

  • Stiffness 73 RA

    Stiff frame. A firm frame returns more energy to the ball for easy power. A comfortable string setup keeps it arm-friendly.

  • Beam 21/23/22 mm

    Medium beam. An all-round profile that balances feel with free power.

  • Swing weight 300

    Solid swing weight. How heavy the racket feels in motion. A higher value drives through the ball with more stability.

  • Length 685 mm / 27 in

    Standard length. The classic 27 in length for a familiar feel and easy handling in every situation.
