I only got the. Today so unsure about grommet availability. I'd say grip shape is yonex... Very small buttcap.
That's a lot of money for rackets designed with a ruler!
OUCH!
BTW, the new Angell paint looks great. The Bastcore paint looked like it was designed by a colorblind monkey with a vendetta against graphic design.
Confucius says " the superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell. Maybe this is applicable here. Just a thought.

Hope the investment pays off you
Thanks much for the clarification, sureshs!
I kind of made that up based on some other racket. So don't take my word for it.
This was how the design was marketed when it first appeared, back in the 1980's with the Fox Bosworth frames. Good guess!It is an attempt to make the lengths of the mains and crosses more uniform
I think Racketdesign was just taking a lighthearted jab at the angled (vs curved) head shape of the competition rather than suggesting they literally used a ruler to design it. (He is the founder of Angell, who also provide very nice custom frames.)Didn't get that. Are you saying they don't use CAD software? If they make only a few models and all are decagonal in shape, why would they use any software if they got it working at one time with manual methods?

Beautiful frames, OP. I hope you enjoy them!

But I was curious about what he meant, because he is in the same industry.

Bold it's not it is custom because you aren't just buying it ready made, so it's custom, to you.I'm sure if you wanted to pay for it Paul or Bosworth could make you a red and purple one but the pros don't even get that.Well this is not quite correct. Angell produce nice frames from what I've heard, but calling them "custom" is ridiculous. They offer a series of weights and balances. If you look at the lineup of Wilson or Head, you can find a similar breadth of choices.
A custom frame would be if I could call and say I wanted a Red and Purple frame w/ a 93 Sq" 11.9oz 6pts HL w/ SW of 335.
As far as I know real custom frames are not readily available to rec players...
I've always wondered if the string /head shape idea worked and if so, why hasn't anone else done it in all they years they've been about.
Really...???
Are they not in the same industry?
Ok so I have has a good go with my new Bosworth racquets now.
Here are my thoughts:
So solid makes all other racquets that I have used seem really hollow in comparison. Weight comes in at 355g but does not feel heavy in the slightest. Often with a heavy racquet they say you have to get that mass working for you to getany rewards for it but this seems to hold its position even if u haven't got to swing through it yet. Volleys are fantastic even with poly (tour bite) I am coming from a small head (PAC 90) and the only negative I have noticed isi haven't quite dialled in my serve, not sure if its a slightly different fleet ion angle or just haven't dialled in the extra power on this feature. One other small annoyance is the small size of the butt cap, however this was my own fault as I requested a small one... Just never realised how small it would actually be. On the swing weight question I'm sorry I don't know the swing weight, reason being I don't want to have any per conceived ideas of the specs thati thought I have preferred over the years. I wanted Bosworth to come up with the specs based on what we discussed about my wants and needs with my game and in the end I think they have got it right.
