Do you know the weight of the Core 2?

My current racquet is a little over 7 oz, my old one was 8.6 oz.Doesn't seem like a big difference ,but if you play 2 hours at a time and sometimes twice a day, your body feels the difference.Also, anybody that tells you that you need to keep up with the heavy hitters,knows NOTHING about pickleball.The best players are finesse players that are terrific at placement,they very rarely hit the ball hard.I learned the hard way,trying to kill every shot,thinking it was like my days playing tennis and i could overpower these old men,no such luck.I got my a$$ handed to me and learned a very valuable lesson on the proper strategy to play enjoyable and competitive pickleball.
