There are a handful of US sellers that I found, but they are all charging a lot more for it. But I agree if TW stocked it at a similar price, they would sell a few. I certainly am using mine frequently and now have lots of hitting buddies dropping over to check their racquets. I think I need...

Just search for "dunlop swingweight machine" and a squash store will come up in NL.

P.S. I also hot a quote from the manufacturer in Taiwan for the plain white version pictured, which is exactly the same as the Dunlop. They quoted $1,400 vs. $900 from the EU dealer. I went with supporting the EU small business and pocketing some coin

It was way cheaper for me to import it, which shouldn't be the case. Still loving it as it has showed me, how hit and miss I was with my manual measurements, on the various racquets that I own.

Reviving an old thread but I just picked up the Dunlop machine mentioned here and am very happy with it. I shipped it downunder from the EU, but for those of you in the US, you can find it for just over $900 (excl shipping) once you subtract the taxes that won't apply as you outside of the EU.

Mine had 4 grams of lead tape (total) at 3 and 9, everything else was stock. With regards to string, Black Widow I found worked well as it does for me in the PS97 and PO7. I usually string low around 45lbs/42lbs. For me the lower tension on the crosses improves the feel and sweetspot significantly.

I ended up staying with PS97. The other two main sticks in my bag are the Pure Strike (PO7) and Pure Aero Tour, usually for doubles.

Yes they are very similar. You can almost replicate each with an appropriate string choice. The VC98 for me is a tad stiffer, more solid and powerful and a tad less torsionally stable. They are very close that you can easily switch between the two.

Yes i am using both the PS97 & VC98, although tbe VC98 is a recent addition and i haven't hit it much as yet. As per yourself i find the PS97 stable enough in stock form, but i found the VC98 needed a little lead at 3 & 9 for better torsional stability. The SW was lower on mine, so that could...

335 - 345 g 325 - 330 sw

The VC 98 is less stiff than the SV98.The VC98 (or Ezone 98) with some lead at 3 & 9, is what I would recommend. I also am a PS97 user along with a Yonex fan. The only other options i'd say are close are the Project One Strike, which has better stability in stock form than the PS97 or the...

As per above Yonex DR 100 and Volkl 8 series are your best option. Another thing worth a shot is a Pure Aero with a soft string (given the softer RA and better dampening imo), if you're struggling to adapt your game. My elbow never got along with PDs or APDs in the past, but it can cope with...

I usually find "whipability" in thinner beams (Textreme 100T / Duel G 310 / Ultra Tour) or smaller headed racquets (Textreme Tour 95, Prestige Pro Graphene Touch - both worth demos if you haven't already). I know you're an avid demoer, so maybe throw the Vcore Pro 97 in the box along with the...

Having played with the RDX for a good year or so the closest i have hit in recent times have been the Ai 98 and DR 98. Have you hit these? I haven't hit the VCore Pro yet but it is suppose to be crisper than the Duel G which I own and I find crisper than the RDX, so I assume it doesn't have the...

I have both. The PS97 is noticeably softer even though it is only a few RA difference. Power and stability is only slightly down with PS and i think a good option to slightly weight up, but other than an overgrip, I think it plays well in stock form.

My recommendations in this spec range are: Pro Staff 97 Beast 98 Pure Aero Ezone 98 Vcore 98 Rad Pro Graphene Touch

i agee with most above, of the ones i've played with vs a PAT that i also have, i'd say : Ezone 98 Graphene Touch Radical Pro Pure Strike Pro Staff 97 Pure Aero - plus some lead (handle & head) but keeping the SW to what is comfortable for your game.

Less cross strings mean the mains have less pressure applied by the crosses and can move more easily,. This enables more spin to be generated, as per the Wilson S spin racquets and Prince ESP racquets.

They are my main two racquets and similar enough to switch between the two. My Strike in stock form is 5g heavier, more evenly balanced and has a slightly higher sw. It hits flatter, is more muted, has slightly less power and a larger more consistent sweet spot. The Pro Staff (original black...

You do get use to it. The feel is much better, as is the spin and sweetspot. The launch angle is higher, so you need either to brush up more and hit less through the ball or bump up the swingweight a little, to naturally flatten out your stroke enough to compensate.

Interesting. I would agree on the control aspect, the more open string pattern definitely offers a higher launch angle and less directional control but more spin for me. However in terms of the pain, I use soft polys (Pro Line II, Black Widow, Alu Power Soft to name a few) at lowish tenisons...

I do the same. I find that it opens up the sweet spot. In fact I do this on pretty much every racquet. If I don't, I find that the sweet spot is noticeably smaller.

I generally hit low tension poly. I have Black Widow @ 45m / 42x in this and it plays fairly well. I haven't got the weight right yet, so i'll keep tinkering.

I picked one up also and have been quite pleased with it so far in general hitting. SW on mine is up near 330 stock, so it is fairly stable out of the box. I'll tinker with strings and weight on the handle and then try it out in matchplay.

Like a lot of racquets that don't make it down under you can always go the auction site, buy used or use a US mail forwarding service. Also sometimes TW Europe doesn't have the same restrictions.

Tour 95, would be worth a demo. I think it meets the criteria.
