Balance Rankings - 2001

Racquet balance is measured in points, a point being 1/8 inch, or 0.3175 centimeters. The rankings are based on points head-light, the distance, in points, from the midpoint of the racquet's length to the balance point. Head-light balance means that the balance point of the racquet is between the midpoint and the handle; head-heavy balance means that the balance point is between the midpoint and the head. Head-light balance is preferable because it results in better performance under the evaluation criteria.
