swingweights and effect on performance?

i play with a racket that weights around 11 ounces, but has a 330 grams swingweight, if i buy the new microgel prestige or kblade or pro that is heavier around high 11 ounce but with a lower swingweight like 310, is it going to affect my swing and endurance on the court?

    well mate in essence...swingweight is the effective weight the player will feel when he swings the racket...

    if you player with a racket with a lower swingweight...its just means that you are swinging something lighter...

    bout the effect on swing & endurance...i doubt its gonna much of a difference...i use the wilson k-90 and sometimes switch to the wilson npro open...significant drop in swingweight...but doesnt effect my game much

    the only thing i feel is that it feels much lighter to swing giving me more preparation time...

    so i guess if you switch to a lighter swingweight its all to your advantage
