A question about weight and swingweight?

[Lloyd Barcenilla]

Hello

For the past few months i have been using a pdr. I recently tried an aero pro and felt that i could generate alot of racket head speed.
I feel with the pdr that my shots arent form racket head speed, but just the overall weight going through the ball and pushing it.

Basically my question is, Between the two rackets, am i generating more racket head speed with the aeropro because it is a lighter frame, or because it has a lighter swingweight?

If the pdr had the same swingweight, would i be able to generate the same amount of head speed?

I am asking this because i want to be able to generate a good amount of head speed, but with a more control racket because i find the aero pro is maybe a little too powerful. So im looking for a control racket with a low-medium swingweight if my above assumptions are correct

Thanks

Lloyd

In theory, yes. However, some other factors should be considered. Like aerodynamics. The Aero Drive is supposed to be aerodynamically designed to cut the air. However, as per the theory of this design, it would only be effective in flat swings. As soon as you do a windshield wipper swing, you would be attacking the air with the wide part of the frame. So, imo, this design sucks. So, in this case, it's just the swingweight.

Yeh my thinking also, thats why i asked. Thanks

Im looking into Head flexpoint tour and prince o3 tour, got any other suggestions? I think they have roughly the same swingweight as the aero pro

Use the Racquet Finder on TW's homepage. You can search it for all the racquets with a swingweight within the range you set.
