I bought the prince titanium thundercloud a few weeks ago but I'm starting to feel like it's too light. I've been looking into racket customization, particularly lead tape. Any recommendations? It seems like I should ideally place them at the 3 and 9 o'clock position and perhaps some on the handle. I've looked into the modifications on the TT warrior on the help thread, but I've been wondering if they would produce different effects since the thundercloud is of even balance whereas the warrior os is 6 pts head light. Would that factor make a big difference?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT: also, there doesn't seem to be a trapdoor on the bottom of the handle of the thundercloud

well, what exactly would you like to do different? are you just trying to make the racket physically heavier? how much? are you trying to make it more stable? are you trying to move the sweetspot?

this should probably be in the racket section :)

well, it feels like some of my shots from the baseline and my serve needs an extra pop, but mostly i want more control. Is there any way to improve the control of the racket through lead tape?
