This is turning into some sort of conspiracy theory thread. TW has published the specs of the v8 US SE. We know the methodology they use. They take a batch of about 6 racquets and publish the average. They are one of if not the most reliable sources of real world specs of the racquets they sell. Seriously - there's no secret plot by Wilson to sell a disguised v7 as a v8 with different specs. And there is now no longer any reasonable basis for anyone on here to doubt the average RA or swingweight of the v8 16x19 published by TW is legit. Those are the objective, proven facts. Unless TW is part of the conspiracy...
