Just got this from Racquettech site.

Yeah, I think I need to get my hands on one of those 4D 200's.

I am assuming those are strung specs. Either way, the swingweight on that 4D 100 is just too low. Way too low. Makes it seem like the Pure Storm Ltd has "normal" specs.

What the hell? Why did they make the AG100 stiffer!?

I think I need to get my hands on one of those 4D 200's. Looks like the softer Wilson K95 18X20 I've been looking for.

The way some people talk about the other one, it looks like a stick you would need to heavily modify anyway.

AG100 4D swingweight....296?!! Really???

 

[goosala]

A 31.9 cm balance translates into how many points?

 

[N2Deep]

A 31.9 cm balance translates into how many points?

8 points headlight

 

[Keifers]

^^ About 7.5 pts HL.

 

[Keifers]

4D 1Hundred sw = 296 ... not good.

 

[Exile]

Depending on the price, I might give it a good lethal injection if you know what I mean...

It sounds perfect for mild customization.

It sounds perfect for mild customization.

Agree completely, 10g in the butt, 10g in the hoop wherever suits and off you go.

Agree completely, 10g in the butt, 10g in the hoop wherever suits and off you go.

I was thinking... slap on a leather grip... which will add about 12-15 grams to the butt... then about 9-12 grams at 3/9 to re-balance and then stabilize it a bit more.

Agree again, I put leather grips on my AG300s to add weight plus I prefer the feel. The Wilson leather grip was actually 12g heavier than the Dunlop stock grip, plus 5g for an overgrip and you're there. Again with my AG300s I put 10g of lead at 3 and 9 (later shifted to 2 and 10). Also 20p coin in the trap door, grip cuff, dampener pushed total weight up by 35g to 340g / 8pts HL.

There are lots of small fully reversible adjustments you can make to edge up the weight and edge down the balance!

Aerogel 4D 2 Hundred (200) Tour
Power (USRSA index) 2050
Swingweight(kgcm^2) 348
Headsize(in^2) 95
Flex (RDC units) 62
Weight (grams) 345

Heavier than the TW model, which is 337 grams.

What if Dunlop standard-weighted the new AG4D100 just like so many of us have done with our lead-tape.

Also, added a stock leather grip.

Does 4D enhance the feel over the AG100? IMO, it would be very hard to improve an already excellent feel, but maybe?

If it felt even better, this baby could outshine the old PS 85 6.0.

Its funny, i have been thinking about the new 100 and wondering if it'd be lighter (SW wise) to allow for more customisation. I've heard that many pros frames are llighter to allow for this so maybe they are just giving us lots of room to "play"!

I agree... I prefer racquets that are in the range of 11.2-11.7 oz. and about 6-8 pts. HL (strung). I always slap on leather (which adds about a half-ounce) and then re-balance/stabilize the head with some tape at 9/3.

A stick like the PB10 mid is almost too heavy in stock form. Once I slap on a leather grip... the frame will be a bit too heavy and a bit too HL (12.6 oz. / 13 pts.) I'd have to then add almost a 1/2 oz. to the head to return it to stock balance... making the frame about 13 oz. (very upper limit of what I prefer).

 

[jsomrak]

the 200 sounds great! any pics out there? and launch date? and price and and and and?

 

[Fed Kennedy]

200 tour? What is the string pattern?

 

[hescobal]

200 tour? What is the string pattern?

If its the same as the Aerogel line, the 4d Tour would be 16x19

 

[tacotanium]

...........any pics?

 

[fattsoo]

Hmmm the swingweight for the 4d 100 seems interesting. Super headspeed

 

[Deleted member 19728]

No interest in the 4d 100..... I was already stung on the ag 100...the 200 tour looks interesting given it's weight, but seriously a 335 mm balance? In a frame that is over 12 ozs? I hope those are strung specs.

 

[grimmbomb21]

Is there an actual release date or photos of these racquets?

It's 16x18.
