The initial release of Format:C took place a decade ago in late 2013, prompting a reconsideration. In its second generation, a significant visual overhaul is evident in the flattened hub, replacing the slightly raised and tap-through hub of the original. This modification not only imparts a much cleaner and sleeker appearance but also reduces the center weight. A noticeable enhancement is the broader Sightline.

While not immediately apparent to the observer, a careful comparison of cross-sections reveals that Format C Gen 2 displays comprehensive differences. These changes can be summarized as a substantial shift in weight distribution and overall weight, with Gen 2 being 3.75 grams lighter in total. This reduction is palpable during use, contributing to an altered playing experience.
