Wilson Profile 3.6 si 95

[netman]

Picked up a like new Wilson Profile 3.6si 95 recently. I play 18x20 frames (mostly Volkls) and was surprised to see the Profile had a dense 18x20 pattern. This one weighs in at 12.6 oz and is balanced 10 points HL. The frame is an amazing 24-32-27mm dual taper and its built like a tank. I've searched all the posts here but can't seem to find a stiffness rating. I did find a post that stated the 2.7si OS had an 84 flex, so is it safe to assume the 3.6si was in the 80 range? I can't imagine it being much less. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Isn't the si a way to establish stiffness. Isn't it just the numerous of cm the racquet bent when being under a certain amount of force? Then the 3,6 should be quite a lot softer than a 2,7

Yes. There is a thread relating to the Wilson si ratings.

These were the original si system where it was 2.7 and 3.6mm of deflection with a handle clamped and specific weight suspended from the racquet head. I took a photo of my Wilson Ultra FPK 95 card showing the system.

I purchased a recent Wilson Steam and feels exactly how I remember my Profile 3.6si to play. IIRC, the PS85 had a si deflection rating of 6.0 (mm).
