swingweight

Hello Everybody I was wondering if anyone could explain what exactly the Swingweight is, how it's calculated, what is says about the racket and how it feels or what things it benefits in my game. Also I wanted to know how the Swingweight is going to change when the Balance is changed e.g by...

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...

I was reading through tennis warehouse university articles and I can't seem to understand these two different experiments. If anyone knows anyone on this thread who I can tag at twu that can help or if anyone is more literate in physics then maybe they can help me understand. In the conclusion...

Who customized their EZONE 98 2022, and measured the SW accurately after (RDC, Baiardo, Dinlop, Briffidi...NOT manual measurement with some phone app) - which SW you settled on and it feels like it works for this racquet the best for you?

I did quite a bit of searching, also thought of posting in the racquet section but this may be more applicable. Just curious if, predominately by playing, you can "learn" to play with a higher swingweight racquet. I've mostly determined 325-330 (+/- a few points) seems ideal for me. However, it...

Has anyone measured the strung SW of their racquet in stock (no customs) ? The SW of 321 on TW just doesn't make sense. I'd say maybe a typo and supposed to be 312 which sounds much more reasonable but it's not first time I see a measured SW on TW that seems too high ... Vcore98 was 325 which is...

Strung specs of the racket are: Head Size: 119 in / 767.74 cm Length: 27.5in / 69.85cm Strung Weight:9.6oz / 272g Balance: 13.85in / 35.18cm / 1 pts HH Swingweight: 321 Beam Width: 28mm / 28mm / 28mm String Tension: 50-65 pounds My plan is to use a multifilament at around 65 pounds tension to...

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...

With Novak and Rafa cleaning up most of the majors in the last few years… The Question that many are wondering is - why don’t the young guys have more edge on these legends? Obviously they are once in a lifetime players. But at their ages, with all the mileage on their bodies and the degrees...

Is it possible to gage the swing weight of a racquet without stringing it ?

I have just purchased a Briffidi SW1 and are now measuring my racquets, I can see that my favorite racquets are in the range 320-325 SW, I am curious to know what you racquet experts out there prefer. Swing Weight is with strings, damper, lead, overgrip. Cheers, H

I have what I believe is a made in Austria LM Radical MP on the way and noticed that there's a discrepancy between what the TW Racquet finder tool and TW review say the swingweight is (325) compared to what the TW University Racquet compare tool says it is (319). Obviously not a huge margin but...

I've placed an order to get a pair of Pure Strike 16x19s from TWE as backup racquets to the ones I already have, so I need to have them matched. Unfortunately, TWE have apparently stopped providing customisation services altogether and will only provide matching services, wherein I get to...

After hitting with it for a couple years and one restring, I got the swing weight for my prestige mp 360+. They are as follows: Prestige MP W : 340.5 B : 31.3 Sw : 314 Is this on spec? I am surprised with its low SW. is this in the prestige DNA? I have little experience with Prestige but I...

I would like to understand the balance between swingweight and static weight. For example, I have a Graphene XT Prestige Pro that had a Wilson Featherthin grip and 2g of lead at 12. I then switched to a leather grip today and I couldn't keep my shots in. So I took off the lead at 12 and it...

LEFT : Wilson Blade V7 Reverse (16×19) RIGHT : YONEX EZONE 98 2022 Until recently, I used Wilson Blade V7 well, but this time I wanted to use Yonex Ezone 9822, so I bought it. After visiting a frequent string shop and...

Hi, I am looking at the blade 104v7, and the specs are really appealing except the high(er) swing weight in the v7 version. It is listed at 321, while the previous version has various websites list it at 306-312. For example this review here...

I am looking at rackets across a range, let's take the Pure Strike, and am thoroughly confused over the SW and Balance of each. For example, Pure Strike 100 comes in Lite, Team and Regular, but let's just look at Team and Regular (all strung specs below) Team: SW 309, weight 303 and 1pt HL...

Hi guys. I know there are ways to measure this but just looking for an estimate from you pros. I got a Head Speed Pro which has a swingweight of 318 as per TW specs. I put on a Gamma leather grip and 2g of lead, 2g at 3 and 2g at 9. What would the new estimated swingweight be you reckon?

Hey all, I'm hoping some of the physics and swingweight experts on the board can help me out with this. I've manually measured the spec of my PS97s and have the following: - Weight: 327g - Balance: 33cm - Distance to hang string: 64.2cm I then recorded the racket swinging, and looked at...

Graphene radical touch MP: 11 ounces | 4pts head light Graphene 360 radical MP: 11 ounces | 6 points head light It would seem the 360 is a noticeable lower swing weight, but it’s 1 higher in reality? Also the clash 100 is 11 ounces, 7 points head light, only one point off of the 360. But...

Hi there, Talk Tennis. I wrote a paper on the meaning of racquet specifications, how to choose a racquet, and racquet customization. Here's a link. Hope some of you out there might find it a good resource. Thanks!

Hoping you guys could help me with some math because it's late at night and I'm not getting it. I have a DR 98 (310g) that I added a leather grip to (an increase of 8g). Without knowing what the new swingweight is with the leather grip, is there any way of figuring out how much lead (and where)...

Hi guys. I just purchased a Phantom 93p from TW. I was expecting to see a swingweight of 330 on the racquet as shown in the specs for the racquet on TW. However, the racquet i received shows 300. What is the swingweight?

I have a Head Graphene 360 speed pro. I was wondering if anyone can ballpark the swingweight from the modifications i made. Stock swingweight is 322. I took off the grip and put on a Gamma leather grip. I then put 2g of lead on 3oclock, 2g on 9oclock and 2g at 12oclock. Any ideas?

I have had some shoulder tendinitis but I’m a young 4.5 college player looking to make a racquet change. Is the 6pts higher swingweight something I can adjust to or is it too much. The frame is also 3 grams higher in static weight. Thanks for your help!

Is it just about feeling and testing? Is there any reference point? I've been playing with a Aeropro Drive Cortex +, with a listed stock SW of 335. Never played with a high SW racquet. I'm considering two options: 1) Adding lead at 12 and bump SW up to a point where it might feel awful (maybe...

Hello, I need some help here about my racquet. I'm using a customized TI Radical MP of which I'd like to know its specs, specially the swingweight. Head Size: 98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm. Length: 27.00 inches / 68.58 cm Strung Weight: 10.75 oz / 305 g Balance: 3pts HL Swing Weight: 312 Beam Width...

I currently have a stock PS90 Blx so that should be about 357g. It's really easy to swing for me (idk why people say it's heavy), so should I increase weight just because I can? Is it better to weigh up the racket as much as you comfortably can, or is there a better strategy to choosing racket...

Hi all, I'd like some help with customizing my friend’s racket, 2012 Wilson Pro Staff Six One 95 BLX. He wants more power, plow-through, and stability without losing the feel, touch, and comfort. Length 27 inches 69 centimeters Head Size 95 square inches 613 square centimeters Weight 11.5...
