Relative Racquet Finder II: Test Case, KK
Remember ohplease's excellent Relative Racquet Finder, where he created an applet for those who'd like a little different way to search for a stick? Well, I do. And it's time for me to put it to the test.
I'm going to chronicle my search/demo process here and I'll be ohplease's volunteer Test Case.
(Oh yeah. Just for the record, I hate demo-ing sticks. But I persist until I find what I want and then I stick with it as long as I can.)
____________
Here are the specs for my current stick -- which have been updated with more accurate and current readings since I added more lead ... and since ohplease posted his applet.
Yonex V-Con 17 MP
Head Size: 100 sq. in. / 645 sq. cm.
Length: 27.5 inches
Strung Weight: 11.6oz (originally 10.3oz / 292g)
Balance: 2 pts Head Light
Swingweight: Don't know (originally 315)
Stiffness: 66
Beam Width: 17.5-25 mm
Power Level: Low-Medium
Swing Speed: Moderate-Fast
String Pattern: 16 Mains / 18 Crosses
Since I've modified this thing so much, it's hardly a V-Con 17 anymore. And Yonex discontinued it anyway. (It's a plot. I know it.)
