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

Less than one pound on my scale.

But, if you leave it on, it will affect swing weight.

Assuming he's talking about the plastic wrapping on the handle, it will not increase swingweight. Adding weight to the handle barely has an effect on swingweight.

And the moment he says that increased SW he measured without plastic is alteration by one... Cmon, removing things cannot increase the SW. He should have done multiple measurements (10 min of vid would actually fit that in) and come to a conclusion there're some measurement margins and that's it.

Between 1-3 grams. It depends on how many stickers are on it and how big they are. Stickers will weigh more than plastic.

thanks everyone for replies. I only asked because I am considering buying a racquet at a local shop and I wanted to get something close to spec in weight and balance. Really just trying to eliminate outliers.

Depends on company.
Yonex - 2gr always
Wilson - between 1gr and 15gr
