Average weight of players rackets... and customized

[spindoctor]

hey I have the FXP Radical Tour which tennis warehouse says is 340g strung and i was thinking about adding lead tape to the 3 & 9 possitions or actually the 2 &10 because of the flexpoint being at 3 & 9...(idk) and possible some lead weights to the butt of the racket to compensate a heavy head or head light like warehouse says...? but i am not sure. I have a one handed backhand and the racket has a huge face and so I am not sure what I should do besides try but if anyone has some suggestions that would be great...when I get back to college ill try and gain some more strength in my arm. Also, I was wondering what other people on avg. have for the weight of their rackets for one handers....whether customized or not.

I don't have a one hander but my racquet is around 12 ounces strung. It has a 95 sq. inch head and is several points head light.

I'm playing with a Flexpoint Rad Tour, as well...
I use mine pretty much stock (just a little head tape for safety measure). It feels pretty good at its 12oz 8pt. head light spec...

What kind of problem(s) are you encountering that you're trying to counter with adding lead??

I have 2 Ksix-one Teams which are 5 pts head light and ~300g. But, I think I'll add lead tape in the throat area. We'll see...

i play with the wilson ncode sixone tour and i put lead tape on my racquet and all four of my racquets are exactly 12.5. When you buy another racquet you should compare the weight to your old one to get it close. Then you can always add lead tape to get it exact.

I have 4 X K90 Tours, don't need to add anything to them, fantastic sticks!!!:)

THe weights and balances for Head racquets have a high tolerance. You wil lhave to carefully weigh the racquet to be sure of what you ar edoing. A $20 postal scale and a Viper Balance beam tells a lot. (But this does not make a $1500 diagnostic center.) Without these, lead tape is a big guess.

I would say babolat pure storm ltd, or any of the prestige line racquets

I play a prostock version of the MG Prestige and they are all matched and weigh in at 360 strung with overgrip so 356 without the overgrip. I don't have a OHBH but I have found it pretty easy to adjust to the weight. They are all pretty HL with SW of 325
