This misunderstands the point i was making. You can know you prefer a given weight and balance, even string pattern, but you don't know how that will play in any given stick until you hit with it. That after all is what these boards are all about. People are seeking information on how one stick plays as against another, You can't tell that from specs alone and it's not dictated solely by head size either. So the difference between a 16/19 TC95 and a 16/19 TC97 isn't simply the head size or RA (albeit they are a factor), it's about how each responds in the hit. There is lots written about that. My point was simply that absent hitting both it's difficult to know what you will prefer. No part of that is a million questions about every detail. Indeed your subsequent post acknowledged that you can't speak on the 97 and that you may get one next time - hence demonstrating i think that you too acknowledge that you'd need to hit them to know, and that perhaps the TC97 could be "better" for you. That's all i was saying: it would be good to spend some time with both to be able to make a more informed judgement. In the case of other sticks we'd simply get a demo of each and decide from there. The absence of that makes the choice more of a dilemma.
