MSV Focus Hex 1.23 and 1.27 stats reversed?

[JamesV]

In the string comparison tool, are the MSV Focus Hex 1.23 and 1.27 stats reversed? Seems like the thinner string would be less stiff and hold tension less, but it show as significantly more stiff (219 to 188) and with less tension loss (29 to 43). Also, the thinner gauge shows less spin potential (7.5 to 8.6). Is this correct?

JamesV,

I am forwarding your question to the TW professor.

Can we have the answer from the TW professor please? Thanks.

Ditto please. I noticed this as well and it does seem like they are reversed.

@TW Professor ?

It has been passed along again to the TW Professor. He has been more involved in some of our other sister companies lately and hasn't been as active on the message board.

Thanks,

We really want that clarification!

I messaged you about a question for TW Proffessor, if has a chance to look at it, in these weird times.

Hope all at TW are still able to hit wherever you are, or at least play in the warehouse.

Thanks

I did pass along you had sent a message as well to the TW Professor. Luckily, we are still able to hit at our court here at the warehouse.

Thanks,

Still waiting..... @TW Staff @TW Professor

Bumped...

Wierd this is not corrected ( MSV Focus Hex 1.23 - MSV Focus Hex 1.27) This makes people buy the wrong gauge expecting more spin and less stiffness by buying the thicker string. Another problem this creates is that the tool for finding simular strings are corrupted. when wanting to find simular strings in the tool it gives you the wrong ones as the data is incorrect for the two.
I guess professor is too busy. Sad.

So agree... @TW Professor @TW Staff

I think to get to know what is comparable to 1.23 and 1.27 MSV Focus Hex we need to look at MSV Focus Hex soft stat/data. MSV claims the soft version to be 5-8 % softer material ( yet slightly thicker the gauge) than the original.
If we apply that as a denominator we can see that the data must have been put in wrongly, in the Tool of the Tennis Warehouse University, for the Original MSV Focus Hex.
The Focus Hex soft has this stat:
1.25: Stiffness 228, Tension loss 30, Energy Return 91 and spin potiential 6.3
1.20 Stifness 194, Tension Loss 26 Energy Return 26 Spin Potiential 7.3
when looking at these numbers it seems likely that:
Some of the numbers in the original Focus Hex has been swapped a bit, even for the 1.18 MSV Focus Hex.
So I would use the Focus Hex soft numbers, to get a view on what to do and aim for, with the original MSV Focus Hex. and use the MSV Co Focus 1.18 stats/data as the MSV Focus Hex should be based on the MSV Co Focus just with edges. and the sta/data for the 1.18 (17L) is:
Stiffness 186, Tension Loss 31, Energy return 89, Spin Potiential 7.2
