I think Evolution series is generally heavy. I can't remember where to place this one but I felt it was heavier than Tenergy 05. In my experience, the grip is outstanding. Someone on another website felt it wasn't vs MX-P and I was confused by that to be honest.

Indeed MXP is heavy like T05.
Yeah, EL-S is heavy to the point I regret going MAX thickness on both sides. Once my current rubbers wear out, I will go for 1.9 or even 1.7 for BH.
Considering the fact that your blade in signature is very balanced itself. Can imagine how head heavy they are on some Donic Senso blades...I had that feeling with MX-P for a quick minute and then I just got used to the weight. Hopefully you get used to it too. But those Evolution sponges are really really heavy.

Part of it is the blade - the SPW is too large in head size.
That is also true. But I have almost adjusted: not a long time ago a series of 15-20 backhand loops used to wear out my arm pretty fast, now it doesn't happen. But I still feel that a slightly lighter racket will make my wristy backhand easier.
What are the actual dimensions of the SPW's head?
I think 158mm by 152mm was one measurement I saw somewhere.
Rambo doesn't use them on both sides. When he does he will come home from Nam.
Feather light, what's so heavy ???!!!
Rambo can handle it.
Word has it ten years ago he was somewhere outside Nam in SE Asia stomping snakes for a living.
