That looks great! Could you email me a (PDF) copy of your scale to locotone07@gmail.com

Thanks!

Locotone07,
I tried emailing you with the PDF but the email was bounced back. You can send me a PM with another address.

That's strange because I did receive it. Thanks again!

v1rotate,

I think you might have a problem with your ruler measurements...

BTW, NOT trying to fight/flame... just thought you would find a better measurement with this information.

I think the difference in your 27", 27.5" and 28" lines should only be 1/4" and not the 1/2" that you curently show. The reason being that:

If you have a 27" length racquet, then the mid point would be 13.5"

If you have a 27.5" length racquet, then the mid way point would be 13.75"

And a 28" length racquet would have a mid way point of 14"

I think if you moved you measurements to these locations you would find more accurate results out of an already great looking scale.

If you could make these changes, I would like a copy of the pdf sent to me also.

Superman1272,

You're RIGHT!!! As I don't use any XL racquets, I just moved the balance points by half an inch but it should be moved by a quarter of an inch as you say. Great spot!!! I'll move them straight away and send you one. Let me know if it's correct.

Thanks!!

A very nice and professional piece of work. Kudos!

I've now uploaded the Balance Board PDF file to a file hosting site so anyone can download the PDF without having to email me. Just remember to choose "NONE" in the Page Scaling option before printing otherwise the measurements will be incorrect depending on how big or small your paper is. The scale is designed on an A4 sheet.

here's mine that i made today. what are your thoughts on it?

It works just fine, but i kind of rushed the paint process which made it come out sub-pat IMO...

DownTheLine · 08-04-2009, 06:59 PM

What's the cheapest board out there that works just fine? Wth out makng one of course.

Dangus · 08-09-2009, 11:24 PM

Here's the one I made, thanks to all the help in this thread.

domhas1 · 08-12-2009, 07:17 PM

This is awesome, thanks for posting, I just made mine and it works great...

OHBH · 10-05-2009, 06:30 PM

Made my own this morning. very awesome

How high does the dowel need to be from the board?
Mine is about a finger from the board as far as gap goes.
Having said that,could this distance affect the visualization of the balance point since in my case i could only get the approximate balance since the racquet would touch the board after sometime and wouldn't stay like i saw the other boards around here with the racquet completely away from the board.

i also noticed that the 1 3/16" dowel was not strong enough and it was bending a little.Should i replace it,orshould i just put some overgrip around it like many did?

The balance will be determined at the moment the racquet doesn't touch the board ,right?

What are HL points in relation to centimeter?

thanks a lot!

Buckethead · 11-29-2009, 05:46 AM

duplicated message.

downs_chris · 11-29-2009, 05:11 PM

would 2 different strings cause a different balance? like if one string was really thick and heavy and the other was thin and light -- will that drastically change things? just curious...thanks!
