Graphene is used by Head in its new range to polarize its racquets and Andy Gerst has reported the different kind of feel you get from such as the racquet moves through the hitting zone.
And apparently there are values that can be used to determine the extent of polarization.
Could the Professor talk some more about the concept of polarization?
I gather that there is such a thing as the polarization index and this is defined by the 'recoil weight divided by static weight' so is there a handy list or at least a list of recoil weights?
I gather this is the formula for recoil weight: Knowing the swingweight (RDC value), you can determine the swingweight (recoilweight) around the balance point axis as follows:
Icm = Isw - (M x (BP - 10)^2)
where Isw = swingweight as measured by RDC or TWU pendulum method
M = racquet mass in kg
BP = balance point (in cm) from end of racquet
10 = the distance (in cm) of the swingweight axis from the end of the racquet.)
Presumably, there is no handy list of recoil values?
I'm not particularly gifted in the maths and sciences, but it might interest many to know how polarised the Heads are, and how different they may be, and it would seem there are formulae for knowing this quite accurately.
This may already be handily up on TW University, so if so could you advise?
