I was talking to one guy the other day and he commented that if a racquet reviewed by TW scored less than say 81 overall he wouldn’t consider buying it and if the comfort score also dropped under 80 he wouldn’t buy.
And I must say that while the testers scores are personal perceptions of what they think, and the comments are important, many would conclude that if one racquet scored 91 overall with comfort also at 90 then it’s probably a more liked and better playing racquet then one that scored in the 70’s.
Alternatively if you bought a frame that scored say 79 overall with comfort at 77, and you did some customisation, how much better could it move up the scale. The Diablo MP has an overall of 81 but the comfort is 77 which is not great when some of the Phantoms scored 92 for comfort and maybe comfort is a high priority for you. With the right customisation and stringing could you turn the comfort rating of the Diablo
from 77 to say 85 or is the nature of this frame such that you will feel everything through your arm because it’s super thin with not much dampening ?
Thoughts ?
