90 squre inch vs 100 square inch with tension differences

[zill]

Say you have a 90 sq inch racquet strung at 40lbs and a 100 sq inch racquet strung at 55 lbs both with the same poly string. Which racquet would you expect to be more powerful??

Note I had in mind the Head Prestige Mid 600 and the Babolat Pure Aero as examples

Here you have a few additional factors besides the head size that affect the power levels.

1. Beam width
2. Stiffness
3. String pattern and density
4. Weight

All these make the Pure Aero more powerful. Whether the 15 lb differential can bridge the gap is difficult to tell. I'd still give the Babs the edge on power.

one of them is a manly stick, the other more of a girly stick

Ok how about let’s say also a difference in gauge make the head have 1.18mm and the pure aero 1.25mm.

Rafa and jack sock are pretty manly though.

Rafa's grunting sounds like he's definitely on the receiving end, so that's that...

If you look at the power comparison tool in the learning center it shows at most a 4%difference. Probably some point where you could say on avg they would have same power.
