Ordered TW europe matching service. Which racquets do you think should I choose?

[desterpot]

I ordered 2 racquets from tw europe along with their matching service. They provide me 6 racquets to choose from. What do you guys think I should choose?

I’d go with 2 and 3. You easily get balance matched with that 3g applied somewhere to the handle.

I'd match Stiffness first. After that it'll depend on your personal preference when it comes to balance and SW. 2 and 5 have more room to play with.

2 and 4 - lower SW will be easier to deal with. Imo.

Yeah but does 2 points RA differences really make a big difference?

That's a great idea. thank you

1 and 6 if you like high SW (put 2 gram in the trap door of racquet 1 and balance will be matched too)
2 and 4 if you like lower SW (no further action required, they are close enough)

Go with 2&5, they’re pretty close in spec & have the same RA... they should be fairly simple to match.

Maybe not for you. Since stiffness is so correlated to how the racquet feels, I'd definitely want to match that.

Also stiffness is the only thing you can't change with customization.

Need some education please. Not familiar with the matching program (aside from what it does and helps with). How do they project these swing weights? Do they string them up with some "test" string or something? Also just curious what racket is pushing 340 swing weight with such a variance aside from the 18x20 blade?

They use a machine to measure the swingweight

350g unstrung ? that's a heavy racquet !

I would go 2 5 to get the lesser stiffness matched.

.3g at 12 would move ur SW +1 and balance slightly up. now you've matched weights

From there you can add a few grams to 3/9 and 6 on racket 2 and same amount of weight to buttcap of racket 5 until the balance and sw converges.

@esm how would you do this for 2 and 4 ?
2 has a higher SW than 4 but the balance is lower. It seems more complicated to match for me. Do you tail weight 4 first until the balance matches?

2 and 4 if you like lower SW (no further action required, they are close enough)

the best mod is to not have to mod

What amount of difference can you guys detect?
For me the most i can detect is maybe 3g static weight and 2-3 SW difference.
It doesn't start bothering me until 5g and 6SW difference.
