TWU: Head Youtek Prestige MP twistweight value

[mk3alex10]

TW,

The TWU database shows the Head Youtek Prestige MP with a twistweight of 10.45, whereas the IG Youtek MP has a TW of 13.56. The specs are almost identical, with the IG actually having an even lower SW. Is it just me or does the 10.45 for the Youtek Presitge MP seem like an error? I've seen this question posed for other rackets and the Professor indicated it may be due to an older machine giving the lower twistweight reading. Is this possibly the case? What do you think is the approxikate twistweight of the Youtek Prestige MP?

Thanks,
Alex

mk3alex10,

I have passed along your request the TW Professor. He is on the busier side and can take a little bit of time to respond. I will send him a reminder.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

The IG having a lower SW makes sense as there's more material at 3/9 instead of higher up in the hoop.

I have a set of three YT Prestige MPs and a set of four IG Prestige MPs. I get Golfers Elbow with the YT Prestige MP unless I add 8 grams at 3/9 (I should probably add more). I can play with the IG Prestige MPs without lead at 3/9. The actual difference is pretty big which is why you don't see any ATP Pros using the YT Prestige MP while the IG Prestige MP is still widely used.
