Big SW specs from Indian Wells courtesy of Greg Raven

These players' arms don't seem big at all...look at murray's swingweight.... what muscles are necessary to swing a sw of 418 at his pace?

his swing is very slow and without wrist flick on the forehand, kinda like a girly swing. Players who use racquets with very high SWs tend to have this kind of strokes. personally i find that boring, since i enjoy watching fast swing like feds or nadals.

Murray is built like a tank now...

nice post, any idea about his other specs like beam or head size? i know this is bit unlikely but thought why not ask.

Roger's racquet is "softer" than the retail k61.

How do you know?

Have you played with Federer's K90 side-by-side with a retail K90 with both strung identically with the same strings at the same tension?

I brought this up when I released specs about the KPS88 before anybody else and got nothing but flak so I probably shouldn't have mentioned this again.

Jacksonville points out he is the biggest tool on this forum, LOL

The specs are not identical, you need it lighter and more head light.

People continue to forget that it has gut/poly, string savers, powerpads, and the heaviest overgrip there is. That adds a heck of a lot of weight and I have not come across a K90 that is the weight and balance of Roger's after adding all that to it.

All of the K90s I have seen weigh over 12.70z with 17 synthetic, no overgrip, no string savers, no power pads

If anyone knows where we can get the lighter more head light verson please let me know.

Funny... Using gut, Luxilon, power pads, excessive stencil paint, Wilson Pro Overgrip (white), AND lead tape, I still pop up the same specs... My swingweight is probably higher though.

I've been one of the lucky few to get their K90s very close to the specified weight. I don't think they deviate more than 2 grams even! Though my latest batch came in quite a bit heavier in the head (maybe an extra 2 grams), which basically means no need to put the extra lead tape in the head, though it comes out more head heavy.
