Advanced Racquet Tuning
Master the science of racquet customization through biomechanical principles and precision tuning metrics for enhanced performance.
kg·cm² for advanced players
Controls power, stability, and maneuverability. Higher SW = more power but requires more strength.
kg·cm² for stability
Torsional stability around the long axis. Higher TW = better off-center hit stability.
kg·cm² for comfort
Inertia around balance point. Higher RW = better shock absorption and comfort.
s⁻² timing index
Double-pendulum timing index. Synchronizes racquet-arm movement.
kg·cm² byproduct
Mass distribution index. Results from proper SW and MgR/I tuning.
strung weight
Total racquet mass. Affects all other metrics and overall stability.
Modern racquet customization has evolved from trial-and-error methods to a precise science based on biomechanical principles. Each metric serves a specific purpose in enhancing the racquet-arm system for maximum performance, comfort, and injury prevention.
The key insight is that racquet tuning must be holistic - adjusting one metric affects others. The goal is to find the setup that maximizes your individual performance based on your physical attributes, playing style, and performance goals. The racquet should work for you, not against you.
