I used to play with the APD 2013 and now with the Blade 98 and to me the APD has more power but according to this the blade and the rf97 have more :twisted:

Weight and swing speed. The TWU tool is taking the racquet's weight into account as if you are swinging all three racquets at the same speed. In your experience, you can easily swing the APD much faster and maybe using some more of your body weight to compensate. Numbers can be made to lie.

The idea of power can mean more than one thing for me.

If a certain racquet produces a more lively rebound at contact or it has more "pop", that racquet has more inherent power. But if another racquet is a little less lively and much more predictable when I hit the ball, that racquet might enable me to play with more power because I can swing bigger and keep those shots down on the court.

So it can get confusing if you feel like you get more power in your game using a racquet that has "less power" than something else you've used. It was for me until I thought about the importance of striking a balance between power and control with my gear and my technique.
