Grip Size: 4 1/2” Model: Type S


Pro Kennex Type S Laver Heritage Series Tennis Racquet4 1/2 grip. This racquet is in good condition with a few nicks and scrapes.  The Wilson Contour Cushion Aire grip is in ok condition. The strings look and feel good. It's surprisingly nice to hit with, with a comfortable and firm feel. I think the S may stand for spin. The throat area is narrower and rounder than the rest of the racquet. According to the specs below the head size is 100 square inches. When I line it up with an Aero Pro it looks closer to 97 or 98. The specs also say 11.3 ounces strung, but I weighed it at 11.6, possibly due to the Wilson grip. This racquet has a lot in common with Babolat Aero Pros but I think it's not quite as stiff.The following is from a commercial description
