I've been customizing in many different ways with my TF335 and always thought that this racket doesn't have a lot room for customization, so I want to find a racket with which I can customize heavily. I want head size between 90 and 98, thin beam width,low flex, standard length, box beam, low power. Other than that, I don't care about the string pattern and grip shape that much. It's fun to customize and I just like messing around with the customization, so it would be great if someone suggests a racket that possesses my likings and a lot of room for customization

I would say start with a racquet that has fairly less weight out of the box, like Kblade 98 or Aerogel 300. That will give you a lot of room to customize.

I am thinking of customizing a Kpro to add some lead at the head to get more weight and zip.

M-Fil 300 or Aerogel 300...both are great for tweaking with lead.

Is there any difference between the two? I don't see any big difference so it would be better to get MFil which is more likely to be cheaper?

Aerogel300 has slightly more power probably because of the higher swingweight. I would get the mfil300 because it's cheaper and you have even more room to customize with lead.

Dunlop 300's ...
Wilson Kblade's ... If you don't think the Tour's heavy enough Babolat Aero Line

I'm pretty sure that the babolat pure storm is a solid racquet to customize. A bunch of pros customized it and it seems like it would be a solid start for customization.

If you're already used to the 335 and like it I would say your best bet is the 320. That should give you 15 grams less initial mass and you'll be able to use that difference "for customization". Adding more than 15 grams to a frame doesn't make much sense anyway...lead is for tweaking ... not for changing racket characteristics completely.
If you want even more room...there is a T-Fight 295 sold in Europe which comes from the same mold as the 320 - 335. That will give you PLENTY of room for customizing. From the frames available in the US (and if you want a different frame to begin with) I also think you can't go wrong with a Dunlop 300 or Head Radical. |

The K Blade 98 is a great choice for this.......I own two myself.
Also have two of the K 6.1 Team, but it's too head heavy (even balance) from standard specs and will get even more head heavy if you only add lead without adding something to the butt cap too..... So the K Blade 98 is your best choice - it also plays quite well without doing anything to the racket, even though it's pretty light. |
