Trying to match two different rackets....Help!

[kicker]

I currently play with racket A: (27", 306g strung, 3pts HL, SW 313, PL: low) and I want to make a teaching stick that has the same weight/balance but has a bit more power to make it easier on the arm.

I have stick B: (27.5", 258g strung, 4pts HH, SW 313, PL: med)

Since the Swingweights are identical, should I leave well enough alone?

Where would I add the 48 grams of weight to stick B (306-258=48) to shift the 4pts HH to 3pts HL but keep the swingweight at 313?

If I put the weight in the handle, do you think the balance would shift close to the 7pts (3pts HL- 4pts HH) I'd need the racket to shift to end up at my goal of 3pts HL?

Would my swing weight still be 313 at the end of the day?

Impossible. If you add 48 g to the SW axis 10 cm your SW will not increase but your racket will be 9 points HL. If you add 48 g at the balance point your balance won't change but you SW goes up 30 points.

this one is better for playing with the numbers

If you keep the extended length I doubt even the same balance point won't feel the same since the center point they are measured from is a different distance to your hand. But you would need to add around 25g at 10cm to shift the balance point to -3. That would give you in theory the same swingweight and balance point as measured from the center of the frame, but the longer racquet that balance point will be an additional .25in from your hand.

Are you primarily feeding balls with this? I would think a mushy multi would give more comfort than swinging more weight. Even if the swingweight value isn't changing unless your swing involves rotating the racquet 10cm from the end of the handle and no other motion then you are adding extra work to create the power.

You could get the balance (33.3 cm) and SW the same by adding 32 g at 10 cm. but still they will not feel the same because the Recoil weight will be different. SW I at 10 cm will be the same for both rackets and the balance points will be the same. Problem is the 10 cm axis for SW is not the real axis.

Matching racquet specs really requires the racquets be the same length. I think matching static weight and swingweight can easily be done. Its hard to compare balances between two sticks of different length in my opinion. For your teaching racquet you may want to experiment with string and tension since you were looking for easier power. Just my 2 cents worth.
