The Wilson Baiardo Tune is a groundbreaking machine designed for racquet diagnostics and customization, offering cutting-edge technology, a clean design, and supreme efficiency for racquet tuners worldwide. Its primary function is to measure various parameters of a racquet to aid in customization and ensure optimal performance.
Function Description:
The Baiardo Tune measures weight, balance, and swing weight for seven different racquet sports: tennis, badminton, squash, racquetball, padel, pickleball, and platform tennis. It can simultaneously measure both weight and balance, streamlining the diagnostic process. The machine incorporates predictive software that helps eliminate guesswork from racquet customization, guiding users on where and how much weight to add to a racquet to achieve desired specifications. This "Tuning Mode" provides real-time customization guidance, illuminating once weight, balance, and swing weight have been measured. Users can enter desired target specs (two out of three: weight, balance, or swing weight), and the machine will calculate the necessary mass addition and indicate its placement on the racquet. The device is easily calibratable to ensure accuracy and repeatability of measurements, a crucial feature for precise racquet tuning. It also allows users to save up to six racquet profiles, enabling quick recall of previous measurements and customization data.

Usage Features:
The Baiardo Tune features a user-friendly touch screen interface, which is the sole method of operation.
- Language Selection: Multiple languages are available and can be changed during startup.
- Passcode Protection: A default passcode ("0-0-0-0") is provided, with a master passcode ("7-3-5-6") for recovery if forgotten. Users can set a new 4-digit passcode via the settings menu.
- Sport Selection: The machine prompts users to choose from the seven supported racquet sports, displaying relevant icons.
- Test Setup: Users select the desired test (Weight, Balance, Swing Weight) from icons.
- Weight and Balance Measurement: Involves placing hoop and handle loading fixtures, positioning the alignment cam, zeroing the scale, aligning the racquet butt cap with the flat side of the cam, and then rotating the cam away from the butt cap. The machine beeps upon completion.
- Swing Weight Test: Requires aligning the racquet handle in the swing weight clamp, locking it, zeroing the scale, rotating the clamp to the left, and releasing it to swing freely. The machine beeps when the measurement is complete.
- Interpreting Results: Test results are displayed immediately, with a color-coded bar (green for low end, orange for middle, red for high end of range) indicating the measurement's position within a predefined range.
- Saving Tests: Test results can be saved temporarily on the summary screen and permanently in the test history, which stores up to six data sets (the oldest entry is erased after six).
- Tuning Mode (Live): Allows real-time adjustments. After measuring initial specs, users enter racquet length and head length. Then, as weight is added to the racquet, the displayed numbers adjust in real time.
- Tuning Mode (Calculate): Users enter two of three desired specs (weight, balance, swing weight), and the machine calculates the third, along with the required mass addition and its placement.
- Common Touch Screen Processes: Includes icons for returning to previous screens, accessing settings, saving/clearing test data, viewing test history, zeroing data, switching units (English/Metric), re-testing, confirming selections (ENTER), starting tests (START), archiving results (SAVE), entering tuning mode, and aborting tests (STOP).
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The machine must be turned off and unplugged before cleaning. It should never be washed with water, a hose, or a high-pressure cleaning device. Cleaning and maintenance details are available on the Wilson website.
- Calibration: The machine can be easily calibrated for both weight/balance and swing weight.
- Weight and Balance Calibration: Involves removing fixtures, measuring scale 1 with no weight, then with a 300-gram bar, and repeating for scale 2.
- Swing Weight Calibration: Requires ensuring the clamp is level, rotating the unloaded clamp, releasing it, and then repeating the process with 100, 200, 300, and 400 kg*cm² loads using a calibration bar.
- Operating Reminders: Users are reminded to ensure all wires are connected, avoid leaning on load cells, keep the machine away from extreme temperatures (allowing it to warm to room temperature if exposed), and always zero scales before new tests.
- Troubleshooting: For service, maintenance, or troubleshooting, users are directed to www.wilson.com/baiardo and to contact their Regional Service Provider for technical assistance.
- Portable Construction: The machine is designed for portability, adding convenience for users.
Included Components:
- Testing Tools: Hoop & Handle Loading Fixtures, Fulcrum, Alignment Cam, Swing Weight Calibration Rod, Weight & Balance Calibration Rod.
- Assembly Tools: All necessary hex keys.
