Two racquets with same swingweight, but different racquet weight?

[AlphaCDjkr]

OK, I'm a bit clueless on the concept of swingweight. If I'm correct, swingweight is like, how 'heavy' the racquet swings, right?

So if there were two racquets, both with swingweights of 330, but:
One is lighter and head heavy
One is heavier and head light

What kind of differences do you get when you compare the play between them?

Static weight is ALMOST meaningless. Swingweight is much more important.

Consider this:

Swing a sledgehammer by the handle. It swings very head heavy. But you would get a lot of power transferred to the ball. Almost zero "racquet" recoil. This is a high swingweight.

Swing the same sledgehammer but now hold it by the head. Swings very easily, but it's the same static weight. And now the "racquet" will recoil much more if you were to hit a ball with it. This is a low swingweight.

Both may tire you out equally, but you'll have a harder time hitting the ball properly over the long term with the racquet with higher swingweight.
