SWING WEIGHT INCREASES BY +7.87

10 & 2 is the power setup. The swingweight goes thorugh the roof to giving you the most power. Twist rate doesn't move that high, but if you want power and can handle the heaviness, this would be your setup. Beware of tennis elbow with this setup and other potential injuries. We are not doctors, but want customers to know the risks.
