Favorite racket weight
Once upon a time heavy rackets meant power. We are now told (see the Feliciano Lopez commercial) that's no longer the case. What do you use for your court adventures?

After many experiments with lead tape, just a tad shy of 12oz is perfect for me.

I'm usually around 12.4oz+ ideally. That being said I play comfortably in the 11.5oz range as well.

12.1, 7-100pts headlight, a decent swingweight, and I'm golden. Even if my footwork isn't.

I think around 11.75-12 is a great balance (depending on swing weight) for me. Not hard to swing but still stable enough for blocking hard balls back. Easy to increase racquet head speed and pump up the spin. Maneuverable and not feeling sluggish while still being solid and stable.

I think my preferred weight should be around 340g or about 12oz, but I have not been able to get anything close to this thus far. My present rackets weigh around 361g or about 12.6oz,
