Center of Gravity of Own Racquet

BeGo · Dec 19, 2015

Mine around 1 - 2 cm lower from face centre.

Where is Yours?

Edit after some replies, realising my mistake.
My blade is an oversize 17 cm blade, so the distance my look too short.

That looks like a great place for the center of gravity. Nice. I will have to see if I can take a photo of mine when I get a chance. Mine has more weight in the head so the balance point would be closer to the handle. But that is because I have really heavy rubbers.

I would love to see where Der_Echte's Kim Jung Hoon racket balances with the extra 15 grams of weight he put into his handle.

Or his Allround Evolution which he put an extra 30 grams of weight into the handle. hehe.

But, BeGo, where your racket balances looks like it has really good weight distribution to me.

Yups, My blade almost never dissappoint me, other than when it being discontinued. [emoji1]

I start this threads cause, so many blade tinkerer here, And I find them interesting. so

I would like to hear each own background, especially to compare those from
- Solid vs Cavity Handle vs Beast Mod User [emoji6]
- Cpen and Jpen vs SH blade
- Sandpapered Blade User
- Driver vs Looper vs Blocker vs Chopper

And yups,

Photo that shows the Centre Of Gravity is required. [emoji6]

I want to know this for all the top tier players. While it may be possible to extrapolate it by mimicking their gear, I think to know for sure how the pros like their blades balanced would shed a lot of insight on their playing styles. This information to me is beyond a simple preference matter, and helps to expound on optimum equipment setup and deviations for particular styles. After all, any new information is either beneficial or not, but we won't know until we study it.

I think you can grab basically any paddle, do that, and they will all stay still at the same point.
I tried this even with donic v1 blades.

CoG is about in the same place as yours is... My current set up is listed on my profile [emoji2][emoji106]

I could be wrong but BeGo's looks closer to center of blade face. Yours looks a bit closer to the handle than BeGo's.

My bad, sorry. [emoji28]

I think Mquevedof means the same 1-2 cm lower from blade center,

Which the same distance look shorter on 17 cm blade than 15 cm blade.

Here's mine.
I'm using Nittaku Barwell right now...

The balance spot almost the same as you guys...

sebas-aguirre · Dec 20, 2015

they are all in the same place!!!!

Small differences are crucial but with this type of photo you get an approximation. Also, the rubber is grippy therefore you can miss the center of gravity by some important margin and still the blade stay on the ball but at an angle.
