Aeropro 2013 customization?

[cmendez79]

Has anyone done any customization to the 2013?

Anyone getting up the swing weight from this up to like the previous models?

I tried it and i was missing the plowthrou and "heavyness" from the 330 sw from the previous models.

still working on it, its taking a lot longer, and a lot more lead than expected though :/

Why tinker? It is impossible to improve on perfection!

Okay, so tonight I finally found a setup that works just right for me in the new APDGT that gives it back some plow (to me at least). Brace yourself because this will sound like a lot of lead.

14 grams of lead at 12 o'clock.
2 grams of lead in buttcap

For comparison my APDC and APDGT are setup 8 grams (APDC) or 9 grams (APDGT) at 12 and 2 grams in the butt on both.

I hope this helps a little, although I think my setups are quite extreme for most.

****"in the new APD 2013"****

I've been using this frame for the past month or so and I've found it to play much better stock; in times past, I've leaded my APDs 3-5g at the 3/9 positions but this time, I don't think I need to lead the frame up. I like the solid feel but also the way I can whip through the ball.

Thats a lot of lead, i have 1 bh, how was your final weight and balance¿

3g of lead between 11 and 1 with head protection tape and 2 over grips make my APDGT feel a lot more solid....

I don't customize based on weight; as long as the balance is right and the racquet has plow, it feels good to me.

I think it's a good 3-4 points head heavy. I'm not exactly sure how many points head heavy, but it feels right and that's what matters. Head heavy racquets hit amazing topspin!

This is the setup I currently use and you should consider trying it out. I place 2 layers of 1/4 width lead tape at the 3 and 9 oclock positions at 5 inches in length. I've tried lead tape at the 12 oclock position which wasn't too bad but I found adding lead at the 3 and 9 to be my sweet spot.

So you added 5 grams at 3 and 9 , distribuited evenly....let me try it and I will get back to you guys.
