Hi,i have a few questions about adding weight to a racquet ;

The racquet im about to experiment with is a 289g strung,3pts head heavy "beginners" racquet.(Babolat Xs 105)

Goal; Headlight,but stable.

So,i was thinking of opening the buttcap and see if its possible to inject some silicone,and then add some lead at 3 and 9,perhaps 5g per side ?

If its not possible to add silicone,should i just wrap some leadtape around the handle near the buttcap underneath the overgrip ?

Any thoughts about this suggestion ? I have never experimented before so im not so sure if im thinking right here ?
