K95 vs N95 sw?

Rookie
I have a K95 and today I got to hit with a N95, and even though I felt quite some difference, I couldnt figure if the swingweight is much different. Is it? Does any one have the specs for the N95 16x18 and can share?

Cheers
 
I am finding out more & more after spending too much $ on racquets, that swingweight varies significantly within the same model and swingweight is especially dependent on what type of string you have. I have now decided to go more on feel and static weight calculations from a digital scale. Sorry for such a subjective answer, but that is just my experience.

I have two Pro Staff 6.1's that are at least 7-10 pts. differential in swingweight.
I have two POG mid's that are at least 15-20 points differential in swingweight.
I recently bought a RDS 002 tour that had a significant difference in swingweight from the demo I played with.....

I found the same thing with my RDS 002Tour

I have to admit I have owned so so many rackets.

At one time I owned 5 LMprestige MP and all of them were right on, all austria silver butt cap
 
Yeah dude. The N95, im assuming your talking Ncode six-one 95, I own four of them and they play nothing like the K95. I hate the K95, it's horrible to play with. My dubs partner uses them and I can't use them at all. I don't get why. They just dont seem to have the same pop as mine.
 
Really? I actually found the K95 being much more aggressive than the N95..at least that's the way I felt. It could be because of different string tension (K95 was 55 and N95 was 57), or maybe the fact that the k95 is a bit stiffer, but I definitely hit better with the K95, even though the N95 was much nicer in the control department (i.e. if I went for a line with the N95 I knew I was going to hit the line, while with the K95 I think I will, but in the end I wont!!)

Anyways, I did this test because I'm in the process of getting a backup racquet, and I found a store here that has both K95 and N95...But there's only £10 of difference, which makes me go for a second K95 (otherwise I'd have to buy 2 N95's, and I dont feel like spending £280 right now!)

I can't even find a store that sells N95 here man. But I payed about $75 for four N95 or about 50 Euro, I bought them from my old pro who was sponsored by wilson when he bought the new Kfactor line.

You see, that's a super deal! Here (London) K95 is £130 (=$230) and N95 is £120 (=$212), so that's not a super deal as you can see...

Damn dude. That sucks. Probably cheaper to buy here in the states and ship to you.

Not really, cos you have to consider probably $30 for shipping plus 10% of the price for import taxes - and it takes forever, cos once the customs get the package, they'll send you an invoice after a couple weeks for the amount you have to pay, then you send the payment, and then a couple more weeks before they actually ship the item
 
They pop up on the Bay once in a while, used ones come up too. But sometimes, yeah, there will be new ones. Just watch out for fakes.
 
There's a bunch of UK stores that have them in the "superdeal" section...the problem is that a superdeal with £ is not a superdeal with $!!! I found new ncode's (both 16x18 and 18x20) for £118 (=$212)...that's their idea of superdeal around here...
 
Guess what...I just ordered a brand new N6.1 95 (16X18) for £69!! Believe it or not, that is a superdeal around here!
 
geez... i envy you guys, would love to get another, wonder how much they ship for to the US. can anyone post some sites?
