Thin Hyper-G: sharper edge bite, more pocketing and more snapback than the 16L, with the same firm, low-powered character. The cost is durability, since heavy topspin players will notch and break it far sooner. Tension hold is similar to the 16L, but the bed feels flatter as it notches. String at your 16L tension or 1 to 2 lb lower. For 4.0+ players already on Hyper-G who want more feel and accept frequent restrings.
Best for: Hyper-G users who want snap. Feel: Thin, sharp. Gauge: 18. Look at the gauge on the pack before it goes in the racket.
