I weight my Wilson handles by using fishing weight that come in a coil and maybe 3/16 in diameter simply but shoving them up the foam padding and sometimes, hot glueing them in place.
I have now other racquets that don't have foam and was at a loss of how to weight them. Anyone have ideas or have methods of attaching weight inside the hollow handles.. How about handles that don't even come off like the Volkl handles.
I did actually figure out a way, but it may not be the best. I got some cotten balls and intertwined some lead tape through it and then just jammed the cotton ball pack of cotton and lead up into the handle(babolat) and let it sit there with the staples of the butt cap basically keeping it in place. It seems to work pretty well, I don't feel any vibration and still is tight.
