    Surprisingly there's no mentioning of the SWs. The decision to keep both the 97 and the 100s at low 320s but the 98s at 330+ is a bit confusing.

    • @bengray5013
      @bengray5013 5 месяцев назад

      Why is it confusing? The 98's are players racquets (especially the 18x20), the 97 VS is a platform racquet. The 100 is a racquet aimed more towards less advanced players

      @hybrid11theory75 6 месяцев назад

      They're off on lots of specs. They measure just a few samples at one point of the racquet as much as I know. They list the radical at 64 stiffness, but in reality they're much stiffer around 67-68.

    • @tenniswarehouse
      @tenniswarehouse  6 месяцев назад +5

      We list our specs based on our playtest racquets (in this case we have 3 racquets of the 100 16x20) and we checked the specs on our RDC machine that we calibrate frequently. We were aware that the stiffness numbers seemed to be coming in low for what we would expect, based on previous iterations of the Pure Strikes. With that in mind, we were able to check about a dozen of our demo stock racquets, for each model, and with all the info gathered from our demo stock and the playtest racquets, we posted our average strung specs. Once we get our actual warehouse stock of the frames, and we start spec'ing more racquets, if we notice a trend that the specs are coming in quite different in terms of the averages, then we will update and revise our spec details on the website. With all that said, and you probably already know, the stiffness will drop about 2-3 points from unstrung frame to strung racquet. Troy, TW
