In addition to individual model specifications we like to do a consolidated series comparison so we can glance at the differences between racquets.  Following is that comparison.  All the data is taken with strung racquets with a vibration damper but no overgrip.

So, what is important in this data?  Well, to us, everything or we wouldn’t include it but we like to explain some of the not so obvious numbers.

End Weight:  the weight of the butt end of the racquet when using two (2) electronic scales

Tip Weight:  the weight of the top end of the racquet when usisng two (2) electronic scales

Why important:  this accurately calculates static balance and allows easy maching of multiple racquets

Swing Weight:  the higher the swing weight the higher the energy colliding with the ball.

Why important: this is the most meaningful number in terms of momentum into the ball.

InPlane Stiffness:  this tell us how stiff the racquet is when a load is apllied to the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.

Why important:  a higher number means the racquet is stiff in that direction affecting string bed stiffness.

Stability:      this tell us how the racquet reacts to ball impact.

Why important:  the higher the number the more power and control that can be contributed to the racquet.

Position 1, 2, and 3: three (3) electronic scales are used to weigh the racquet.

Why important: we can match the rotational inertia of each racquet.

Peak Load:   this tells us the peak force of the ball impact on your body.  Higher loads contribute to injury.

Why important:  we can make adjustments to the string bed stiffness to keep the peak loads safe.

Everything else should be clear but if you have questions please “Ask John”
