so on the left is my n6.1 team, and on the right is my previous racquet, cant find any information on it anywhere but its called a Dunlop Power Mondiale and ive had it for as long as i can remember (didnt used to play tennis)

so here are the specs

nsix-one team
headsize: 95"
weight: 329g (added some weight)
balance: 8pts HL strung (weight is on buttcap because i didnt like the even balance)
pattern: 18x20

power mondiale
headsize: 90-93"
weight: 358g
balance: 8pts HL strung
pattern: 16x19

ok so first things first i might as well have bought an nsix-one because i modified the team to almost suit its specs

now heres my real question, i actually prefer the smaller headsize, but prefer it lighter.. the headsize is a nice size on the dunlop but the weight is slightly higher, but was the 30g really worth the money spent on the n6.1team or should i have just saved the money and possibly trimmed my grommets and taken a bit out of the handle?
i dont really mind the string pattern tbh although the dunlop needs restringing.. but im starting to feel like i wasted my money kinda

can anyone possibly convince me that i havent by giving examples of racquet tech? haha.. i tried playing with them both but its just stuck in my head that theyre the same so even if they play different im just being stubborn and cant realise the truth
 
lawrence,
i'm sorry but in my opinion there is absolutely no way that these two racquets play the same. in spite of the same balance you have a considerable difference in static weight and hence also in swingweight. add the different stringpattern (smaller influence since the dunlop has fewer mains but also a slightly smaller headsize) and i can only agree with you regarding the fact that it is "in your head". it is possible you don't like the n6.1-team, but then you should have demoed! but once again i have to say that there is no way these two racquets play the same!
 
hmm thanks for the opinion, i guess it is in my head.. when i demo'd the n6.1 i absolutely loved it, felt really easy to hit with.. i guess i got greedy and tried to mod it up and now im having second thoughts

:( this just makes me want a ps6.0 even more.. haha damn i dont have any more money
