Calculating specs with in-store new racquet?

[andytennis123]

I’m looking to buy a new racquet in the Seattle area, and one store has a swingweight machine and a scale I can use to check the specs of racquets before buying. I’m looking to buy a new 2025 ezone 100 or vcore 100. The racquets in store still have plastic on handle and the info paper hanging in the hoop, so what’s the best way to calculate their contribution to weight and swingweight measurements? I usually just buy on TW with specific specs, but was thinking of trying to buy in store this time. Thanks

Hello, with the plastic wrap you are looking at about 2-3 grams in weight. Probably no change to swing weight. Maybe a .5-1 point at most.

If it has the cardboard too about another 10-15 grams but that can vary.

Feel free to check the fourms below for more details:

how much does the plastic wrap on a new stick weigh?

Measuring racquet specs with packaging on.....

I had a company measure specs for 5 PSVS's for me so that I could pick the one I wanted. I paid for this service. I received the racquet today. It was supposed to be 320g as per the company's spreadsheet. However, after I took of the handle plastic and the cardboard from the hoop, I measured it...

Thank you!

I always ask to have the info paper removed before measuring. It is attached with an elastic cord that is easily disconnected and put back again afterwards.

yes, I would definitely ask them to remove the paper, as that might have a significant impact on swingweight.

What store in Seattle has SW machine? I live here as well

Don’t measure swingweight with the placard in the hoop. It weighs 15-18g to simulate a strung racket, so is useful when getting a feel of the balance point in the store. However, the air resistance of the placard throws off the swingweight measurements by a significant amount.

Basically the data from TW at Yonex does not really differ from the real data, because Yonex has a pretty good quality control.
The small measurable deviations should not play a major role.
Essentially, you have to adjust the data to your playing ability anyway.
I hardly know any people who play tennis (seriously) who play with the off-the-shelf model.
