I recently came across a way to measure the balance of a racquet without using a balance board or yard stick (not a new method, but new to me). I tried it on multiple racquets, and it seemed to be as accurate if not more accurate than any other method. I was wondering if someone can confirm the accuracy of this method:
The method involves first measuring the total weight of the racquet, then measuring the weight of one end of the racquet, and then the other end (propping up the non-measured end and also using a level to make sure the racquet is perfectly balanced). The two end weights should equal the total weight (I did this, and was within 1 gram). Then you multiply the weight of the head by the length of the racquet, dividing that total by the total weight (keeping units consistent). Can anyone else who has used this method confirm its accuracy? Thank you.
