Hello everyone,
I’ve been thinking about adding lead tape to my racket to increase stability.
have you tried customizing weight? did it really help your game, or did it cause more problems than benefits?

It definitely improved stability for me, especially on returns. But I felt the racket was slower at the net. Great from the baseline, less comfortable in fast reactions.
Small adjustments make a big difference. I started with just 2 grams at 3 and 9 o’clock. Even that changed the feel a lot without killing maneuverability.
I’d definitely start small. If 2 grams at 3 and 9 o’clock already changes the feel, there’s no reason to add a lot at once.
0-15 | 15-15 | 30-15 | ...Life is a game that I enjoy. 💛
The stability gain sounds worth it for returns and baseline play.
The only thing that would worry me is losing too much speed at the net, especially if you already like a very maneuverable racket.
