Head vs Wilson headsize

[Thor]

HI

I know the 93" Head equals 90" wilson(the prestige mid).
Is this true for every headsize or just this particular model?(Head's 98 = Wilson's 95,Head's 100 = Wilson's 97,etc etc)

How do Dunlop and Babolat measure their racquet's headsize?Head's way(outside of the frame) or Wilsons?(inside)

Thanks

I don't know,but IMO Babolat also measures from the inside , as does Wilson

I may be mistaking

wouldn't measuring to the outside of the head add way more than 3 inches to the headsize?

couple inches of the beam already seem to add up to a cubic inch

could be wrong

 

[morten]

it goes for the prestige line only. 98 is 95 yes.

Fischer measures inside. See this reply I recieved from Fischer

Dear ***,

We measure inside without frame

So the radical headsize(98) is like the nblade?

It seems odd that they would measure differently for each line,this way theres no knowing a prestige 98 is smaller than a radical 98

I was under the impression every company measured inside the handle. Who else doesn't?

headsize, not gripsize. Speaking of which, i think that's from the outside too w/out grip.

Are you sure about that? You should take a Prestige mid and take a picture of it next to a K90. K90 will be visibly smaller.

Dunlop is the same size as Wilsons, in fact the head shape is almost the same between my HPS 6.0 and Revelation Classic.

Actually the prestige mid is said to be smaller - 89.5".
I know for sure that the prestige mid(93) has the same headsize as a wilson 90,im just checking whether the 3 inch difference is true for all Head vs Wilson racquets

if head measured headsize from outside, the actual stringbed size would have been well under 90

Thor, why don't you drop Head a mail? Because to me it is also very confusing.

You should compare the two together sometime if you can get your hands on both racquets. K90 is the smaller of the two... just as advertised.

I agree, it'd be really small if they measured from the outside.

Have always thought the Head 98 (Rad) looked smaller than other 98s...
