Was watching a few of Federer's matches in 2017 and it seems to me that he reduced both total weight & swingweight.
By sacrificing a little stability/control, he gained faster racket head speed for a lot more spin, both on serves & groundstrokes. His backhand appeared to be much faster too.
Saw him spray a few shots and more racket wobble than usual. Also quite a few short balls. Perhaps tighter string tension also?
What do you think?
