Hi, thanks a lot for sharing your expertise on how to customise tennis racquet.
I’m planning to buy the Head 3 and 1 Machine to measure Swing weight, Weight and balance.
Aloha Cris, You're welcome.😃Wow, nice early Christmas present! It looks like a great machine and I'm sure you won't regret it. If you have a stringing business, I hope you can promote your customization services with your new toy!
@@AMstringing Hi , I’m home based stringer. 😊 I message you on your FB messager.

Please give us a review of the new ats 98 and 310 with and without the lead. Thanks.
Aloha David, I plan to feature a video in the near future about the demoing process when deciding to purchase a racquet. I'll be featuring the full line of Prince racquets including the new ATS Tour line. Tennis Warehouse has great reviews on the Tour 98 (ruclips.net/video/MpvKf7QTbgY/видео.html) and Tour 100/310 (ruclips.net/video/4P5_geUsZhI/видео.html). You can check out the review by Tennisnerd on these two racquets also - ruclips.net/video/xV2A6sk8GvI/видео.html.
Hi, excellent explanation as always, and I love your videos, as you added weight at 2&10 in your video, if 4x4” of 1/4” should equal 4grams added to the head how much should I add to the handle to counterweight the balance on the frame ? I always add to 2&10, but I recently added to the handle and it played significantly better, I added the same amount of weight, but my elbow/wrist was not too happy..
Aloha Brendan,
First, it's not always necessary to add weight to the handle to counterbalance the frame since swingweight is what you're going to feel, more than the actual balance of the frame. However, adding weight to the handle will give your racquet a more solid feel at contact.
Second, when you added weight to the handle, where did you apply it and what did you use?
@@AMstringing thank you, I added 4x4” lead strips to the handle beneath the original grip, 1 strip equally on the main 4 bevels, top, bottom and sides. a total additional weight of 4grams. I have since reduced the weight overall by 3grams and moved the tape up two grommets higher on the head and wow what a difference.. a small amount of weight really makes a huge difference.
@@brendandunne3943 Sounds like you found the right combination of weight and locations! 👍FYI, I usually prefer not to apply lead under the grip due to the fact that it can increase the grip slightly. Other options include the application of lead tape at the top of the handle and injecting silicone inside the pallet. Silicone is a permanent solution, but has dampening properties.
Very helpful vid again Coach AM! ALOHA 🤙 & TYSM! Thx for the Pb warnings ⚠️☢️👍 for keikiz 👍How about TW Tungstens? Nice Benetton 🏳️🌈 Prince stick btw for pride month 😎 how bout just buffing up 💪 to play D1 w/ 500g Toalson Power Swing stick? 😜
Aloha Kenzo, Glad you found the video helpful! I don't generally use Tungsten tape since lead tape is easier to apply and cheaper to buy.
I had add weight to handle of Head TiS6.
Balance move from 8 pts HH to 10 pts HL
But i have plan to add lead tape on 3 & 9 on the hoop to make it stable than the default.
What do you think sir?
Aloha,
Wow, that's quite a difference in balance points! It's good that you added weight to your TiS6, that racquet is too light to begin with. Adding 4" of 1/2" width (cut in half) would increase your swingweight by about 10 units and should be noticeable to you. However, some players are more sensitive than others. From there, you can add or subtract weight as needed.
In my opinion, instead of going through that much trouble customizing your TiS6, you may want to consider switching to another racquet that comes with the inherent weight already built into the frame. The racquet I would recommend is the Prince O3 Legacy 120. Everyone that I've converted to the O3 Legacy 120 loves it! 🤙

Thanka. Noted
@@AMstringing
I am aleady saw that TW website.
I decided not to take it, bcos it is EQUAL spec with ti s6, oversize-head with HH-balance.
I dont want buy 2 racquets with similar spec, its not worthy.
I am prefer to another level, racquet with 100 - 105 headsize, HL- balance, slight heavier.
Do you have any advice?
@@ondybandung6096
Okay that makes sense if you're not "married" to the headsize of the Head TiS6. What you want to pay attention to is the swingweight measurement of the racquet instead of the balance. The swingweight of a racquet is what you're going to feel more than the balance.
Before I compare your TiS6 racquet to some recommended Prince racquets, in my opinion, you probably should be looking for a racquet with a 320 swingweight (strung).
* Here are the specs of your Head TiS6 - 8.5 oz weight / 27.75" length / 73 stiffness / 300 SWINGWEIGHT
* O3 Legacy 105 - 10.4 oz. / 27.25" length / 67 stiffness / 321 SWINGWEIGHT

If you're interested in another brand, you can start by looking for similar specs listed above.
I hope this helps! 🤙
@@AMstringing
Thanks sir.
ATS 100 looks interesting to me
Is incredible why do anyone plus w poly and no... Pros don't play w poly that's a lie... If anything maybe on the cross
Aloha, Sorry, I'm unsure how to comment on your comment. 😆Please clarify if you'd like me to reply. 🤙
