Who should pick which
- Weight, unstrung: Prince Phantom 97P (2023) is 20 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.
