The Atlas Tennis Racquet is a true players racquet. The finished weight is 325g (11.5 oz) and the balance is 10 pts head light. There is plenty of weight to get behind the ball, but it's still very maneuverable due to the head-light balance. Playing with the Atlas is the tennis equivalent of driving an exotic sports car. You can just do things with this racquet that you can't do with other racquets. You will just have to try it if you don't believe us.
