How can the SW be lower than before ? Is this because the pivot point of the SWmachine is somewhere in the middle of the grip?

@@tenniselbow74 Yes, by adding weight below the balance point you can alter the balance and make the racquet more handle heavy and easier to manouver BUT that won't decrease the swing weight. And this was the question here. The sw of the racquet he modified didn't go down due to the weight he added to the handle.

@@marcvandeput4024 It can't.

@@abokickel You are right. The swing weight cannot be lower but the handle has more cushion now. It make the machine sense wrong data I guess.

That just means you didn’t do it Harry’s way, which is to say, you know what you’re doing!

Did u add any weight? Or did u just match I also have a vs I added 6 grams in the top and 3 in buttcap was just curious what other vs users were using

Prince synthetic gut with duraflex for all

for me, the Isospeed Brand works fine.

in a certain way, if you want to keep the grip size, now you should use it without an overgrip...cause the grip size will be bigger

Yes, he should have at least checked the weight, balance and swing weight of the racquet he was about to modify BEFORE he did anything to it. The non-modified had a sw of 292 while the one that got a lot of extra grams only had 282. How can the swing weight go down when more weight is added, let it be in the handle below the balance point? Well we know the answer, it can't, which means that the sw of the modded one had to be even lower before the added weight. Way to go quality control.

I’m telling you the guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. I wouldn’t let him customize my racquets. You are absolutely correct.

Jii Tee you totally nailed it! Good observation.

I watch this channel because overall, the good stuff info outweighs the bad; and Harry comes across as a most affable, down-to-earth guy. He’s also very good at giving retail advice and stringing, which is his main job. However, I only watch his customisation videos for comedy value and as an example of how not to do it. His method is really just a shoot from the hip, lay on the lead wherever there’s a flat area somewhere you want weight approach. I certainly wouldn’t call it customisation in any way, shape or form. No one customises without taking specs before laying on the weight; nor without some idea of what target specs are intended. Also, one of the main reasons for customisation is to obtain a set of matched rackets in weight/BP/SW so that the player need not make small changes in technique when switching between racquets. It’s not even difficult to do these days given the availability of online calculators that allow one to pre-determine where and how much weight is needed on a particular racquet to attain an intended weight/BP/SW. How would he make me a matched pair with the way he’s shown in this video? 🤢 Also, contradicts himself stating the handle is hollow and that’s why people love it for extra feel. Then says to put in the silicone there; which will instantly deaden the “extra feel”? If I wanted to preserve the vibration of a hollow handle whilst adding weight, I’d be looking to use something like tungsten pieces retained at the very end of the handle with wadding to keep the longest hollow section possible. 🤦‍♂️ Pro stocks in general do not have hollow handles anyway. They’re almost always silicone filled or solid moulding.

Jerome Morrow agreed with everything until you got to the part about the silicone. Pro players use silicone because of its shock qualities and the feel it gives the racquet. It may feel different than a hollow hairpin, but still provides the feel that most players like. Not all, but most. However, it comes down to personal choice, right? Everything you said was super spot on. It’s a pretty methodical process, matching racquets and his method was definitely not methodical. Anyway, cheers! Thanks for the good comment.

There are several clips, usually four. Some rackets, like this one, have, for some reason, an extra clip that is not "indented" in the same way and sticks out more. It's that one he removed. It's not needed as long as you have the other 3-4 clips in place.

@@abokickel the staple he removed is the one that secured the end of the grip. It always protrudes more than the four staples that help hold the butt cap on so it's easy to remove. Remove the grip staple when replacing grips.

.nblades are awesome, add 4 g lead @9 & 3 and 2g @12, add 10 g to handle either lead/silicon or overgrip, go to Pro shop to check H/L balance, then add or subtract weight to get to factory H/L balance spec. Modify to suit your preference always keeping H/L balance at spec or slightly more H/L as you add static weight.

Stick with what you’ve got, they’re so much better

How did this end up working out for you?

so it does feel similar? I just bought and tried the 100L and it feels really good pocketing the ball on the forehand. Never tried an H22 tho.

It’s fine, just wash your hands after you’ve finished

.... Very interested to hear your source on that one haha.

Wickham at Wilson what are your sources saying.... 🤔

@@colinlee7818 we'll be happy to show you in 2021!

M Wang probably because the added weight is at the handle so it shifts the balance to be head lighter and more maneuverable.

Swing weight should not go down after adding lead to it. It should go up. It was probably an accuracy error

@@ericsonson7363 No additional weight in the head is surprising. I would not have it too head light.

It didn't. That was just crappy Wilson QC. Adding weight to the handle will NOT reduce swingweight, ever.

alpenglo you are absolutely correct! A lot of folks are mislead into believing that head light means lower swing weight.

That doesn’t help if the player doesn’t ant an extended racquet 🤦🏻‍♂️

a trick : watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Silas Brooks Definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for years myself =)

Well what if the handle is foam-filled like in this case? :)

Åbo Kickel he took the butt cap off. There’s no foam in the 100L. Otherwise, you have to drill out the foam if you want. You can use lead, sure, but silicone works much better. That’s what makes Head racquets easy to customize. There is no foam in the handle. To be honest though, the H-22 has a different layup compared to these retail stocks. The feel of the frame flex would be completely different.

@@chuckfriebe843 Okay my bad. If you, for some reason, wanted to remove the silicone in the future, is that doable? I've used blue tac in many rackets. It dampens a bit as well.

Åbo Kickel it’s difficult, but can be done. I actually just did it this morning on a couple of Prestiges. I added too much weight and wanted to re-do the balance. Use a very long and skinny screw driver.

Who do you know this from? I don’t think they launch a pro version

@@philippf7949 Not prostock version. You will see them in coming weeks. And expect a Prostaff six-one 95 sq in 331g at the same time. And an Ultra pro 16x19 too. Ultra pro 18x20 is already there.

Mai Li I don’t think so why a six one 95 that does not make sense

Please post your source for this information

@@gddfhjiufcv Go to Wilson website. Now you can buy.

how would u correctly customize a racquet?

@@franc1smurray by following correct modification procedures. Something that Harry seems oblivious to...

@@bengray5013 true lead tape throughout the whole hoop seems very excessive, better off just getting a heavier stock racquet

Exactly? I have 2015 Blade 98,16x19, 368g static, balance 315mm/ 9 pts H/L plays Awesome. Very H22 like, pro stock custom set-up.

I believe because of the headsize

@@carlosmerazz H22 is 98.

@@carlosmerazz Yes. He says the customer wanted 100sq in. head.

Carlos Orlando lol bro what do u play at ur local country club? U don’t need specs like that at ur level

removing the silicone inside the handle is complicated

That latter part might of your comment might actually be true. I would love to hear that conversation, lol.

I've always been a ProStaff 6.1 95 user and still have my Classic that is now 24 or 25 years old. I love Wilson but it's shocking how bad the QC is, pre pandemic I bought my first Yonex yet to play with it.

Yonex FTW

Depends on the actual setup tbh...

You can if you want to, but it’s more awkward to remove if you don’t like the feel of it... try blutac instead to begin with

yea not the first time he makes careless mistakes. it's OK to have retakes and edit videos for the sake of accuracy. nobody is perfect.
