Based on my measurements if RPM Blast 1.30 adds 32.83 pts of SW, Alcaraz’s racquet would have a 325.83 SW.
Carlos Alcaraz is using a stock Pure aero vs

What about the 1.25?

I'd really like to measure it with my Dunlop RDC.
It's lower than all the 16x19 stringbeds with 16g poly I measured.
In fact, I've never measured a 16x19 16g poly differential under 36 points.
Say that to Federer, Delpo, Wawrinka and Soderling all 370+ gsm swingers
Couldnt care less what Federer , Delpo , Wawrinka , Djokovic use. Why? I am not an ATP pro so the balls I am given dont require these high swingweights. Second Alcaraz has a swingweight of 325 and I guess hes doing pretty fine heh.

Where did you get that (wrong) info???
Sorry but I have my own career in my favourite subject
I’m not here to be hating people that’s just my own view of him. Before he started to create his content like reviews etc his site was TT copy paste and then he got popular. I wouldn’t feel good if I knew I got the job because I copy pasted someone’s resume but everybody is entitled to own opinion of course.

He had his career in a different field many years before the TN site/channel took off…. That (tennis and the TN related stuff) is still his hobby.Sorry but I have my own career in my favourite subject
Not sure why are you guys negative about him, he’s doing a good job and has improved a lot over time. His audience is not only us, from TTW but generally much broader range of tennis players.
And he definitely gives credit to those whose lines he used in his blogs and videos…
You saying the Pro Stringers here posting over the years are all wrong? and Tennisnerd's research as well?
please explain

Don’t waste your time DR. Let the stupid run In circles with their incorrect info, lol.
Considering I have a personal Novak 346.1, and I know you do as well….too funny how much poor data is ignorantly defended. I also have a SW machine, so…lololol!
Novak? and Stupid? umm no where I said Novak but cognitive dissonance, narcissism, pseudo mandela effect and other mental issues are on the rise since the experimental jab fest.
Sod, Delpo, Fed listed far and wide 366-370gsm with leather grips on pics but all use a 10-12 grams fresh overgrip over that leather pictured on here and Tennisnerd. Is it wrong to fathom 370+ since all pictures of the mentioned players racquets are listed with leather grip specifically and no overgrips? Many and I know overgrips do add this extra weight and after all we are talking 10+/- gsm not what that little video boy was dribbling.

Contrary to the little video boy cries you fell for that I actually forced my student, it was actually by accident he started swinging with my racquet and it went from there. He is 180cm just tuned 15 yesterday and 68 kg.
He is a big boy but his long time nemesis is a tad taller and 10 months older so he now has some good confidence after his win on him before he is out of the U16 league.

ok thanks for all these informations, but what's your thoughts about the principal subject of the topic? alcaraz playing with a stock pure aero vs!Novak? and Stupid? umm no where I said Novak but cognitive dissonance, narcissism, pseudo mandela effect and other mental issues are on the rise since the experimental jab fest.

I think its great for him, tennis and Babolat Its the perfect racquet for his style and swing speed, I just wonder if Nadal would try it as he gets older?

My bad on Novak. Not sure how I saw his name. Federer, on the other hand, is another one you’ve missed…
the racquet doesn't provide so much spin for nadal's game, they have same name, but it's two different racquets!I think its great for him, tennis and Babolat
[/QUOTE]
They are but the controlled spin is the accuracy Nadal could easily get used to as his aim goes astray with age and wants to win more on HCs towards the end of the season.
Nadal can crush the ball so well when he wants to or play aggressively for long periods. The VS sill produces more spin even than Ezone 98 with 16 x 19 from TWU findings!!!.
Lowering the tension and using a main with even more spin potential or even one less bottom string are other possible options to tweak the VS.
A specially drilled 98 versions could also help and still have better balance, movement and less fatigue. If Nadal does search for more he can easily find it from Babolat.
My 15 yo student on the other hand end up playing better with a control frame than for power and spin yet many racquets today offer so much combined it is a hard choice.

but you know Rafa, i think he won't even think to give a try to another racquet, he still plays with the 2004 aero pro drive, he's so loyal to what he knows lol !

Hey, I was only pointing out an ironic spelling anomaly…
Nadal did try out some ugly looking Heads not that long ago, he seems more open minded for change than many players his Serve and FH have plenty of changes over the years also.
Spell casting anomalies in the English language how peculiar but that little boy seems to be filled with fungus.Hey, I was only pointing out an ironic spelling anomaly…
It is Ironic that most believe/follow what the pros do and then when there is an anomaly they are considered genius for taking the tour by storm.
I always thought DeMinaur would have been made to fill in by now enough to swing a little heavier but remains a mosquito and Alcaraz is exactly what DeMinaur should have been.

A full length of Wilson Pro Overgrip weighs 5-5.5g. It adds 1 to swingweight, if at all. I’ll say no more since it’s off-topic.

Wow, what did I miss? Whats the story behind this Daria guy? Can we just all ignore him, we're feeding him by responding to his egocentric comments.
I read the article and to me it doesn't mean he has not customized the racket. I believe it is a retail frame and that's what the article is saying. Or, maybe Babolat hand picks his frames from a normal production run to get them closely matched. To me, he could still have a few strips of lead under the bumper and if he doesn't, he would be one of the few Spanish players to not add weight. Moya, Nadal and Carlos' coach Ferrero all played customized retail frames but with lead tape customization and all 3 have pretty high SW (over 350). I bet Carlos is over 330 SW and nothing I've seen proves he isn't.

No lead, you have to read all the comments, hes racquet id 332 with an 1.30 rpm blast!
This is all speculation and hearsay (a friend of so and so said). One guy in this thread "estimated" his strung specs to be 328 grams with 325SW and you say his frame is 332 grams. That's a 4 gram difference between 328 and the 332 you stated above. Adding 4 grams under the bumper would knock the SW up 12 points and over 330SW. It is possible for pros to play in the 320-325SW range but they would be in a very small minority. Anyhow, we aren't going to know for sure unless someone gets their hands on one of his actual frames and measures it or at least takes a peak under the bumper.

Nope
Yep
I have spoken with someone in his team and asked him about the weight of the racquet and if it has lead , the answer was : "I can not tell you what the exact weight of his racquet is, as we have it forbidden to talk about it". Now draw your own conclusions, I guess if he would be playing stock would have been easier to say so , instead of telling me that, no? My vote goes for yes , there is some weight added, I guess someone will find out sooner or later anyway

Here's some food for thought. I currently have 2 Pure Aero VS, both uncustomized. They are currently strung with a Tecnifibre poly. One racket is SW328, the second racket is SW304. Keep in mind these are strung measurements.
It's most likely that he does have lead at 12 on his racket, not necessarily to increase the SW very high, but instead to at least match each of his racket to one another. So some rackets will have slightly more lead, some slightly less lead. It is much easier to add 2 in. of lead tape to match up the specs, than it is to manufacture the rackets all with the same exact specs.

Wrong, even if hes using a stock he cant tell you, jonas from tennisnerd confirmed the info and he’s a credible guy, even Fucsovics uses a Yonex 98 DR stock without lead or customization, last time he was live on his instagram and a guy asked him the question! Just stop being so picky about racquets customization guys, i think you should practice and focus on your game more, it’s not the racquet it’s you! Alcaraz playing with a stock vs is the proof!
Wrong? Why? I am just saying the info I´ve got directly from his team, not his friends, cousins, etc...and what they told me is that they have it forbidden to talk about it, so no, he can not tell me. I am not picky about customization, as a matter of fact, I have 2 VS matched by Babolat and I added 1 gr in the hoop due to lack of stability, and this is the only racquet I´ve owned that I added weight. If he plays stock great if not great as well, I guess one day someone will get one of his frames and check it out in the meantime it's just speculation.

It’s weird that the team can’t tell that info but a rep on a forum can easily post his specs and tennis need easily got his specs. Not that I am picking a side for what his specs can be but it seems like the info could be more solid. Between 330-340sw seems legit for many players right now.
Tennisnerd just did a video with an atp pro and he had that mid 335sw but static near 350g.

They didn’t tell, that means that you have no information not that he customizes his racquet and that’s forbidden! Jonas had the info, babolat too said it in this forum, so forget about the story until you come up with an epsilon info ( if they accept to talk to you next time ) !
