And just to add: I have a v200 weighing in at about 2.10 and it is has a very good feel and balance in my hands. Use the search function and I am sure you will see the pictures I had posted in a couple of threads. So V200 will be a good buy---- go for the 2010 and 2011 model as they should cost less. All Slazenger has done for 2012 is that they have changed the grip color.
