What are the pros and cons of going 10-12 Points Headlight? How should this effect serves, volleys, groundstrokes, etc?
I tried my POG LB with various configurations and found that the heavier, more headlight (12oz/11pts HL) frame generated the highest percentage of good serves. (This is very close to the stock config.) A more head-heavy setup (11.7/7pts HL) generated more pace and kick, but at lower percentage for me. Anyone got a favorite configuration for a POG or POG LB?
Are there any major drawbacks to using a stick that's as much as 12pts headlight? It's 12oz, so it has some mass. Should I expect stability problems or lack of punch on volleys? I know everyone is different and what matters is how the setup plays in my hands, but I'd like to find out if there is any conventional wisdom here. I'm a 4.5 baseline counterpuncher, but I play a good bit of doubles too. Thanks for your help...
