recoil weight

I’m 6’4” and according to a few recoil weight charts I’ve seen, I should be using a racket with around 174-176 recoil weight. I’ve tried entering specs for a handful of rackets using the TW website data and I always seem to get something in the 150-160 range. For example, a blade 98 v9 16x19 is...

I have understood that the general consensus it that recoil weight is a measure of how hard, for a given head speed, the racquet hits the ball, it is even also referred to as "hitting weight". I asked ChatGPT, "In tennis, what effect does people think "recoil weight" has?" As ChatGPT is trained...

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...

Advanced players care about recoil, and here’s why. Swingweight, twist weight, and recoil weight (also called ‘hitting weight’) all measure the inertia of a racquet along different axes or planes. Recoil weight shares the same plane as swingweight but its axis is the balance point (vs. the...

Recoil weight, the polarization index, and MgR/I are different measures of racquet polarization calculated from the same variables of weight, balance & swingweight (SW): THE FORMULAS: Recoil Weight = SW - (wt. in kg. x (cm balance - 10)²) The Polarization Index = Recoil Weight ÷ Weight in grams...
