Too bad there isn’t footage of volleys.

Shape of the ball looked similar but at 20 lbs swing seemed more relaxed. Seemed to be doing more work at 50 lbs.

he missed more at 20 lbs. Also were the racquets even matched? 50lbs will have less sw

Higher tension means less swingweight?

I think higher SW is created because the string doesn't get stretched as much at 20lbs so there is more mass in the hoop. I'm not sure what the actual difference in masses would be but sounds like an easy experiment.

in comments, the video poster said 20 was good for casual hitting but control was not as good as 50 for match play

that’s why you settle at halfway between and call it a day…im at 37/34 right now and it’s fantastic for my v7 blade 98 16x19. They key is to use strings that arent too soft and provide good tension maintenance. Loving Mayami tour hex 1.23/SPPP 1.18 hybrid right now

Damn can barely control ground strokes. Wish there was serve and volley as well.
