It is amazing that little bit of lead could make a difference

Totally disagree that lead at 12 flattens the ball.. it is 3 and 9 that flattens the racq trajectory. 12 spins the racq more easily. Look at Nadal's racq.. you gotta try out yrself to know. Why is this guy giving false info when he has never tried lead at 12??? Look at his tennis strokes.. fml

First, avail yourself of a racquet weighing no more than 10 ounces, then haphazardly slap on 2 to 3 ounces of lead tape. 😅

I used lead tape to my lighter beginner racket to see if I was ready for a heavier racket. I tuned up a 260gram racket to about 285 and I liked it. So I went to the store and bought myself a 285 grams racket. I must say, the 285 GRAM racket feels just way better by itself then a racket 260gr with lots of tape.

Adding lead tape to the hoop area will also change the balance point and make a racket more head heavy. One way to neutralize this effect is by adding lead tape in the tail section of the frame as well!

I put my lead tape at the throat of the racket and put it at the 9 and 3 o clock on the same racket. Is this a good racket customization for me?

I always have a question mark of adding lead tape. I want a 315g racket for stability So if I add 10g lead tape to a 305g racket, is this racket as stable as the stock 315g racket? (just ignore the swing weight first) 😊🙏

suggestion on racket for the the person getting back into the game is the DUNLOP CX 200 TOUR 18 X 20. Not a lot of power but control and spin

@PzWazza this racket was originally $249 and now $100. Dunlop will be coming out with a new version soon so trying to sell off current version. I suggest using a softer string that provides control. Great racket at a great price

Why you just dont use heavier racket? In your other video you mentioned that you could easily use Wilson Shift 315 without any customization.

They are usually just lighter weight versions of the regular racquet. I would just pay attention to the specs and materials used.

Do you ever just add the lead tape at six o'clock on the raquet head? I haven't heard anyone address that. Just as a base, without being on the handle. Does it need to be divided on the head?
@tenniswithandy
Жыл бұрын
Adding at 6 o’clock will increase swingweight slightly but keep the balance relatively the same and increase static weight. The other thing that it does is that it increases the stiffness in that particular area. I notice it and I don’t like that stiff feeling. Best thing for you to do is try it yourself and then take it out if you don’t like it.

Speaking of simplicity, forget lead tape, just put on an overgrip, that is 5 grams to the handle, put in a dampener that is 2 grams in the lower string bed, and put on head protection tape on the entire length of bumper guard, that is 3 grams. Now you have added 10 grams total, and maintained the balance by adding 5 grams to the handle and 5 grams total to the racquet head.

I disagree. It is great for matching racquets. As well, if you are a racquet nerd or have a good coach who knows racquet, you can optimize the racquet for your playing style. The danger is when you do it blindly and then it is a neverending rabbit hole.
