Strats come in a few different radiuses necks sizes, 7.25 is the Fender vintage 50's-60's style radius most now come in a more common radius of 9.5 what model strat do you have?
Radius can make a huge diffence on how the guitar feels so it's worth looking into it a bit more and finding the one that works for you.
