I bought the Briffidi SW1 tool with the TW adapter. I tested most of my racquets and none actually fit the TWU data. The SW will match most of the time and is easily within the margin of error considering we all use different strings. But the twistweight is way off but not constantly off. What I mean is it not off by a constant factor. Some high tw on TWU reads lower than lower tw frames. It is all over the place.
I've asked how the professor measures the tw for the database but I haven't got an answer. Others like Irvin have over the years and never had an answer. I believe the tw in the database is extrapolated and definitely not measured.
I suggest that every Briffidi users chime in with their actual measured twistweight numbers in order to help each other make better buying decisions when considering tw. So I'll start with a few of my own but will add more with times. I would also appreciate if anyone from TW would explain how the tw are measured in the TWU database and if extrapolated just come clean and maybe start using the Briffidi in the future for more reliable data.
