customisation

Hey all - For those using the Wilson RF 01, how are you customizing your sticks? Looking for ideas before I go crazy on them. Currently not using any weight on the hoop (but will need to) or in the handle yet. So far, I've strung them up with a full bed of Gosen AK Control 17/1.24 at 55 lbs. I...

Hi guys. I recently customized my pure aero98 by using a leather grip and 3g weight to 3&9 o'clock. My stringing service guys measured that it has a static weight of 345.5g and SW321g with balance at 31.5. Is it possible to have a swing weight that is much lower than the static weight? What does...

Was wondering what to add in the the frames handle what are the options and how do they perform? Mainly looking to absorb the vibration and a couple points headlight couldn't hurt. Since i want to increase the swing weight as well.

Hello Everybody I'm trying to glue a Buttcap to the handle of my Wilson Blade. My Buttcap is made from TPU (Thermoplastic Polyutherane) and I'm trying to find out what the handle is made of to find a good glue which works well for those two materials. So my question is what is the handle of my...

I have been reading about leather grips and everything sounds great which made me wonder about the reasons on why it wouldn’t make sense! The pros I am aware of are: - Better feel of bevels (which is always good, right)? - Makes racquet more head-light (which is always good, right?) The cons...

Hello Everybody I have two racquets i'd like to make the same. They now both have same Weight and Swingweight but the Balance Point is 2mm apart. Here the Stats: 340g both 313 Swingweight both 31.2 mm and 31.4 mm What do I do? Any Ideas? Thanks a lot

Hi everyone, I recently demoed the Wilson Blade V9 Pro 16x19 and loved how it felt! However, I’m new to customizing rackets and would like some advice on how to add lead tape to my current Wilson V9 16x19 to match the specs of the Pro version. Here are the specs of my current rackets: 1...

Hello My question is if there are different models of the H22, because to my knowledge it's a frame made from a specific mold, which also the Blade Pro is made of, and therefore it would be possible to make models, that differ in weight, balance etc. Is that so or do they just make one H22...

I had previously created a spreadsheet to calculate the swingweight and others based on extra weights on the racquet. Swingweight Calc Spreadsheet I took it one step further and created a racquet spec auto optimizer using excel and solver. It works by setting target parameters and allowed...

Looking to customize my stock ezone 98

Hi, I am new to customising my rackets. I was wondering what would be the difference between the following customisation options: Lead tape on the head at 9 and 3pm plus same amount of lead tape at the end of the handle Lead tape at the throat In theory, both would maintain the racket's...

I play with a Pure Aero VS and am starting to like it. Used it for 3 sessions only. I put on a leather grip and overgrip. I have 2g of lead at 12 and about 1g at 10 and 1g at 2. I could still use more plow though. My shots are not penetrating enough. I string with BHS7T at 56lbs but it has...

I’m interested in trying a new stick but baulk at the retail price for sticks in my wheelhouse. I’m a 5.0 flat hitting all courter. I therefore wondered whether purchasing a lower tier stick from big brand and adding lead tape and filling to handle could possibly bring it near the specs and play...

Hi all, I'm doing a research project for my masters of Sports Engineering to determine if the grip preferences people have for their rackets have any correlation (either consciously or subconsciously) with their hand anatomy and playing styles. The plan is to see if the findings could be used to...

Bit of a novice in terms of customising here. I use the first version of the Prince Tour 95, the pre-Textreme one, from 2013-14ish, I think. From a bit of setup trial-and-error plus a preference for a flared grip (which I had to do myself with a bit of old overgrip), I've come to a feel which I...

Thought I'd share my latest find with the group in the hope that it helps others. My search for a racket is finally over, and if someone told me 12 months ago that I would be playing with a customised Yonex Ezone Lite, I would have told them that they were insane. I've been playing with the...

Hi all, Does anyone know how graphics, logos, wording, etc etc are applied to racquets? I plan on delving into custom painting racquets, but I want to be a step above the usual DIY racquet painter. What methods are there of applying graphics, words, logos and all that? Surely from the...
