Customization help

[TripleFault88]

I will be demoing 3 racquets and would like to get them close in swing weight and static weight. Doesn't need to be exact. I will be buying TW tungsten tape and puddy. Who can help me on recommending how much weight and where it should go?
My goal is to get the Prince Phantom 107G and Dunlop CX 200 OS weight and swing weight to be like the Prince Phantom 100p

A good tool/starting point if you can gather all figures once your demo arrives. It’s also good to know what you want/to achieve through each of the customisations.

Without a Babolat Racquet Center or Head Swingweight Machine 3 in 1 and additional a Racquet matching fixture tool (2 scales) you have no chance for racquet matching. Save your time and hire a professional racquet tuner

These really aren't your rackets if you're just demoing them. I wouldn't put anything inside the handle if I were you. Lead, or tungsten tape comes right off, but you could accidently get putty slide down far enough you couldn't get it out. And, if the racket doesn't have a trap door, I'd definitely not take off the butt cap.

That’s is going to be a real trick. You want to raise the SW of the Dunlop by 14 points and drop the balance 1 cm by adding 14 g. It will take ~4 g at the tip to raise the SW 14 pts, and after doing that it will be impossible to drop your balance down to 32.5 cm with the remaining mass you need to add. You could get SW, weight, and balance of the close phantoms though.

I used the posted specs on TW but chances are the posted specs are not going to be the same as the actual specs. So any modifications anyone would be able to provide would be useless IMO.

My suggestion would be to match weight and balance and forget SW, that is possible. But you will need a way to accurately measure weight and balance.

Another issue you may have is adding 14 grams to the Dunlop. That’s a lot to add. I’m not sure about tungsten tape but 14 g of 1/4” lead tape is 154 cm long or about 5 feet.

IMHO I would not forget about the SW. It is probably the most important parmeter. Personaly I would match the SW and the weight and do the best I can on the balance. Balance is less important than the other two (but important nevertheless).

For SW measurement, http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/howto_swingweight.php together with the Swing Tool app (iOS only).
