racquet weight or swing weight?

[ayuan]

Alrighty, right now im using the K95X and i play with it fine but i feel like demoing a K90 and possibly switching it. so my question is, would the weight of the K90 affect my game or would the swingweight? i know the swingweight on the k95X is a monster and the sw on the K90 is lower but the racquet is a little heavier. would it be any difference?
Thanks for any input

the k90 will be easier to swing, in comparison, due to the lower SW. they are both headlight so you won't get thrown off by that (like you would moving from HL to HH, or HH to HL)

you'll find a lot less power in the k90 than the 95x.

You shouldn't. Only 4.5 NTRP and above should wield that stick. You're not a 4.5+ are you?

^^^^^^nice contribution..

I agree with RR. You will lose power with the k90 but it will be easier to swing. I would go by swingweight rather than static weight when evaluating sticks. Don't listen to the "NTRP" rating nonsense, especially if you are already liking the k95x. Good luck!

agreed. i think those NTRP rating recommendations are just ones trying to advertise to people, talking about how "good" the stick is, and makes people think they can reach that rate easily if they use that stick.
