Customising a frame

Almost all professional players play with a racquet you can buy in any store, with one exception: their racquets are customised to their specifications.

This means that the weight, balance and swingweight have been modified to meet their own style of play. Even if you are not a professional player, your game can benefit from customisation.

Nowadays, racquets are generally light and can benefit from a little added weight. Players should use the heaviest racquet they can comfortably handle.

However, simply adding weight to the frame is not a good idea. A little weight in the wrong place can significantly alter the feel and performance of the racquet.
We will talk to you about your game and style of play.
We will examine the wear pattern on your strings which tells us where you are making contact with the ball. Once this has been determined, a small amount of weight in key areas will be added, taking care to maintain the racquet stable and balanced. Then we will ask you to play and come back to us with your feedback. The process will continue until the racquet is perfectly weighted and balanced for you. We use a professional Xtreme Dyno Tune machine to help our clients choose the best set up for their frames and game.

We will then record the weight and swingweight of your racquet .
Once the ideal weight and swingweight is found, you must have all of your racquets matched.

If you own just two racquets or a dozen, it is important that they are all consistent. This means that the weight and swingweight are exactly the same on each frame.

When you buy two frames, tolerance allows a difference in weight up to 15 grams.
Maybe it does not seem much, but it makes an extreme difference in overall performance of the racquet even for the casual player.

We will ensure that the racquets in your bag will have the same weight and swingweight consistently.
