Spec-by-spec, with every gap named. Rows where at least one frame has no published value are marked incomplete — an average across a missing number is a guess.

|---|---|---|---|
| Head size | 645.2cm² | 645.2cm² | identical |

| Weight, unstrung | 285g | 315g | +30 g |
| Balance | 325 mm · 5.6 pts HL | 305 mm · 11.8 pts HL | −20 mm |

| Crosses | 19 | 20 | +1 |
Who should pick which
- Balance: Dunlop FX 500 LS (2023) is 20 mm higher. That means more mass towards the head — the other gives you more mass in the handle, so a more manoeuvrable feel at the same weight.
- Weight, unstrung: HEAD Gravity Pro (2023) is 30 g higher. That means more mass, so more plough-through and more to swing late in a match — the other gives you less weight, so easier to accelerate and easier to get round on fast returns.
Differences are computed from published specs only. Where a value is missing for either racket the row is marked incomplete and excluded from this list — an inference across a missing number is a guess, not a comparison.
