Harry , different strings in each racquet are equal to different weight. The can vary up 6 to 8 grms depending on the strings Btw the best version of the 305s to me is the XTC
I have both the TecniFibre 305 RS and 305 Isoflex. I get a lot of feel on both rackets but I like the Isoflex better. I actually like that it feels light but head heavy and no "delay" of feedback at all haha. I also didn't have a hard time creating spin with the 305 RS. It all depends on your game style and take back. Both rackets suits my game well. I get more access to easy power and depth with the Isoflex. I like the look of the isoflex most and I know its not the most important thing, but to me it has to be a complete package. I don't like balanced and light rackets so the dynacore probably won't me for me, and I also don't like the way it looks lol so short looking. But that's just me XD. I always get compliments with my Isoflex and love playing with it :)
Strung...the balance of T-fight 305 (latest Medvedev) should not be more than 33.5 cm. But bc of the low static weight you should be able to put some weight in the handle.
shame that you didnt try XTC version. I bought few months ago xtc305 and guys its really hidden gem! love it after all head,yonex,babolat rackets its awesome stick. Wanted buy new iso version but when i see qualitty control i think i will keep my xtc :D 360sw is too much. Remember when i played with gravity pro with 340, 360 is insane. Balance isnt important still you can customize it. I have leather grip on mine, but wanted put lead tape under grip and use normal base grip.
To really compare, you guys need same new strings, same tension, new balls. Some racket is already temper with weights. If the handle is heavy, the racket head need some weight there too to balance. If the handle is heavy and the racket head is lighter than the handle, you'll lose power or there won't be enough power there. Vice versa, the handle is light and the racket head is heavy then there is power there but will be too heavy to even handle the racket head. Find the balance of the throat of the racket with weights. It's a good thing rackets are made light so you can add weights. Although people have or create their styles of striking of their groundstrokes. Some racket will only prefer a certain groundstroke to work with. For example you can not play an RF 97 like a Babolat Aero. You have to use a certain groundstroke for that particular racket.
I think this video shows how bad quality control is. I've got a T-Fight RS 305 and the Swingweight is 347, almost 30 points difference with the one you've tried!!!!
Agree with others, the quality control is horrible on the new sticks It’s interesting that an accomplished player says that he feels different things in different racquets, and we spend the first several minutes measuring weight and swingweight. Those factors have little to do with ‘feel.’ It’s almost like showing up at the ER with a broken leg and having someone take your blood pressure…doesn’t do much to diagnose or fix the problem. Ideally, this channel can get someone who knows racquet design to explain what affects feel. Designers are doing a lot more than adjusting weight, balance, and swingweight.
