My two Mfil200's weigh 12.4 oz strung.
My Aero200 weighs right at 12.8 oz strung.
They're sitting around various rooms for shadow swing practice.

Are you talking Dunlop frames?
Or another company?
We know Babs and Wilson are among the poorest in spec control.
I'd venture to say Dunlop is close to the best.

Not Dunlop. He doesn't stock much Dunlop and did not have the 200 Tour in my size.

But that Dunlop is already 12.5 oz. Too light? (yes, I know you said "most people")

If sureshs found his holy grail, awesome. Now he can stop thinking about his equipment and just focus on playing better.

Yes, enter stock specs and then enter your "adjustment" where you would add lead tape and the tool will recalculate weight, balance, swingweight and twistweight if you entered the original twistweight. You can mode a lead tape customization with the TW manual customization tool in just a few 2nds. Still need to playtest but the tool works well.

Rackets arrived from TW. I went all "Bio" and asked for Dunlop Silk at 60 lbs and Gecko OG. Honeymoon period is over, but these rackets are the best specs for me. Every stroke is comfortable, and the ball goes deep. The less HL balance seems crucial in easily getting the ball into the box during the serve.

So I may not be a pro, but the pro SW is what is working for me.

Cool you found a racket you like.
I still haven't, even though I own over 6 different sets of rackets and tried dozens more.
I have yet to find a racket that will run over to the ball and position my feet before the ball get's there.
60 seems pretty tight. Hope it works well for you.

What about the Youtek Rad Pro.
There are literally dozens of rackets with the same characteristics and specs of the 200 Tours.

Are you implying Suresh is now working for Dunlop?

That's an interesting conclusion drawn from my post.
I guess lots of readers can infer whatever they think into any post. Certainly a huge percentage of responders do so lots of times.
Strange, I always thought Suresh is independent financially.

I am not "independent" financially LOL - otherwise I will be playing tennis every day instead of showing up for work.

No I don't work for Dunlop or any tennis company.
