    Hi Sang

    I’ve played with both rackets before — I find the Silk more head heavy and stiff vs the 125. Therefore I found it easier to generate pace with the Silk.

    How do you think harrow silk compares with tecnifibre 125?

      I think the weights are pretty similar (125g unstrung). which is more headlight/headheavy? and which is more stiff?

        I am confused I thought the Silk was head light? Here is what Harrow says on their site:

        We have revolutionized our teardrop shaped line and have managed to perfect the weight and balance on this frame to suit the serious player. Finished weight of 145gms and a extremely head light feel, this frame is going to be one of our best sellers this season. Quick maneuverability, huge sweet spot and immense power is what the Silk can bring to your game. Retailing for $169 only, it’s a must have in your program!- Weight: 145 grams- 360mm- Even Balance- Strung with T200 String at 28lbs

        They say extremely head light in one place then even balance? Any more thoughts playing with a Vibe was thinking of trying the Silk…..Enjoy the game!

          The Silk feels evenly balanced in my hands. I measured it on my home scale and it had a balance point of 36.3cm with the stock grip. If I put a Tourna Grip on it comes in at a balance point of 35.1. The rule of thumb I once heard was 35-36cm feels like an even balance.

            Pierre thank you for the feedback I have been playing with the Vibe and wanted to try the Silk. The Vibe with Dnamx in it is great hoping the same for the Silk with a slightly bigger sweet spot….enjoy the game!

            I played with the Silk last night and really enjoyed it. The sweet spot felt huge, and I had lots of power.

    Thanks for the info with this post. I take it that the LWW version is not up for sale?
