The increase in swingweight & weight I saw

[Ramjet]

Just sharing with the community since I've seen this question a few times.

I had my racquet done by Roman Prokes of **** (agassi's racquet guy). He matched my racquets.

With strings my racquets came to 348 grams and 329 swingweight (balance point 31.7cm)

Without strings it came to 328 grams and 290 swingweight (30.4 balance point).

So I see about 20grams of weight added and about 38 swingweight points.

I string with babolat tonic 15L in mains and Cycloe 16g in cross.

Oh and my racquets are the Tecnifibre tfight 320 TP

He probably matched them unstrung initially. With same grips maybe no OG. Different stings have different masses which leads to different SW. Your frames are quite a bit more massive and have more SW than what Racquetfinder says is stock.

I found if I put even just a small amount of weight at the 12 position, the racquet just fly.. I mean there is a significant swing speed.
My friend several years told me this, he's a physicist, and I didn't believe him, but I experimented today and.. am quite amazed how easy it is to swing, without feeling a lot of weight.

Guess I don't see the question or the point (maybe I need more coffee) ..to me, it seems to be statements.....

I added a volkl leather grip but that is the only modification to the racquet

So let me see if I have this straight: adding string increased the static weight and swingweight. Thanks for sharing.

I have a friend whos a rocket scientist for NASA and he said if i got my racquet strung it would not only be heavier but have a higher swingerweight too. I told him he was full of it but when i did string it, it turned out he was right! Guess it has to do with all the physiks and stuff!
