Have a old Wilson racquet that I use. The normal weighting is about 11.2 ounces at about 4pts hl
I've gone to a leather grip, some weight in the barrel and weight at the 3 and 9 to about 11.9 ounces and 6 pts HL.
I like it, though it feels a little heavy in the handle.
I went to 11.5 ounces and a head pt of about 2.5 HL.
This feels a lot faster without sacrificing the maneuverability of the racquet.
So my dilimma is that since I sacrificed .4 ounces, what will the benefits be and what will the drawbacks be.
to review
1 11.9
Head is lighter
Racquet is heavier
Feels heavier to swing
head more maneuverable.
2 11.5
Head is heavier
Racquet is lighter
Easier to swing
Less maneuverable in the head
So, what is the real life situation?
Will I be sacrificing plow through at the expense of head speed, despite the head portion being heavier?
At the lighter weight, will it be less stable?
I"M just so damn confused.
