thanks Jim, this is quite extensive description - I gues I am spoiled a bit with all those "main tie off" and "cross starting knot" and dots for mains on modern racquets.. I am embarassed I do not know how to find all those Hs and Ts :D

yes thats the racquet I hold! seems former stringer has no TT access :D

Hello fellaz, I got very string job pleasant order today: to string vintage Snauwaert Lady Caravelle racquet. It is supposed to be the wedding day present for one top 30 WTA player who is abut to get married. It looks like 18x19 pattern, but I am not sure as outside crosses does not seem to be...

what do you think of new tour and pro lines of Angell? Are they just custom version fixed at specific predefined set-up or is it a different beast?

first - I think if this is Angell most HL position, there will be no empty hole for weight in the hairpin to move weight in. do what tekeyway recomends - open just butcap door and you will find foam filled space in the pallet: I would not play with silicone, just push some thin plate of lead...

this

must be my bad english or your troubles with written text understanding - I am not oposing what Paul said to you - I just tried to explain there is no contradiction on what he said and what i wrote to you. I give up, must be my english, I am off to hit with Angell instead of evAngellism

I see nothing wrong on what you wrote. But at the same time as you load weight on that point you are increasing static weight AND headlightness of the setup. all makes sense to me

I think you are wrong here: it is function of these two. What you say Paul said is just the fact that as he increases the weight, he is moving it more to the handle e.g. making it more headlight. By this compensation overall SW stays give or take same. Lighter racquet are less headlight, heavier...

that is included in balance: distance and weight from C of G

I am not an expert either - there are thousands of them on TT so they will surely come to help us, but I cannot think up anything else what should change SW apart from this two variables

well let's not make it too complicated: SW is function of weight and balance right? unless you want some extreme setup you can play with weights in 4 holes to get it where you want - if you have a look at Angell tennis web there is configurator and you see ehre it can get you. if not enough -...

yes

well, this was my first customization job to be fair, and I am not typical DIY person either. It is not that complicated as the hairpin has slots for square weights. just calculate and fiddle a bit but only complication was I had to buy upholster stapler for 7 Eur or so in the hardware shop. I...

I disagree: Angell are custom to some extent - they are not tailor made to your specific order. And - what is excellent - their weight holding system in hairpin is very practical to play around with them and get it to specification you would like to have. Much better than tuning retail racquet...
