Racket experiment - SW and balance

[T-Vex]

Hello, I have a thought experiment for you.

Lets say we have two same rackets:

Both are 328 g static weight (mass), 332 swingweight, 5 pts head light (towards handle tip).

Now I add 10 grams to the bottom of handle of racket 2 (at 0 cm position).
This presumably doesnt change SW of racket 2 (although TWU says it does by 1 pt), but shifts its balance point to 8 pts head light (towards handle tip).
It also increases its static weight by 10 grams.


Which racket will be subjectively easier to swing?

The lighter one. Make it 10kg instead of 10g and run the experiment again

The heavier racket. Both rackets will have the same torque (mass times balance.) I think torque is the determining factor is how hard a racket is to swing. Adding 10 g at 0 cm adds no torque but the SW increases by (10*10*.01) 1 point, so it will have slightly more power. For the balance point it’s going to be hard to tell. Many times a racket will be +/- 1/8” because of distortion while stringing. Or it could be a 27.5” racket or longer. Now is a racket is 5 points head light it doesn’t
R really tell you much does it?
