I'm afraid that I don't know what your question is. It seems like you already picked out the size of your balance as 3/8" diameter and 29" long. Can you clarify what exactly it is you need to know?

If you look under the product description of the S900-29 store page, you can see a chart that correlates each color tip option with a specific sash weight range. Since your sash weight is 14.4 pounds, you would want to pick the Red Tip. As indicated by that chart, two balances with a Red Tip carry 10 through 22 pounds. That should be perfect for your window.
