I already have the power back ;) See my earlier post.

Yes I corrected myself in the thread. It was 8,5 with dampener. I determine the weight with a sensitive coffee/kitchen scale + it’s tungsten tape which has markers for the weight.

Played today with a total of 2,5 grams at 12 (exactly one strip of tungsten I had left) and the power is back! Feels really good now. Nicely balanced. More spin then before. I played horrible tough, but that’s not the racquet ;) Thanks for the tips!

Ok thanks for the advice! I will test with some extra weight at 12 first (and of course with adjustment period).

Ok, and why is 9-3 not a good idea? I was thinking this could keep the swing weight down.

Can you explain some more about this? :) edit: What i’m reading right now is that because the racquet is not polarized enough anymore there is less recoil weight? I was thinking of adding a total of 4 gram to 3 & 9, removing the weight at 12.

I agree and it was more a question about the added overgrip then the 1 gram at 12. The reason for adding the 1 gram is for balancing out the weight of the overgrip. I think the answer is a combination of the static weight slowing down my swing and the extra dampened feel of the grip that...

I’ve added 9,5 grams. Before this I played without the overgrip. Just curious about if this could affect power in a negative way in general :)

Yes I agree that it could be the adjustment period. I was also thinking that I could move the weight to 3 & 9.

None ;) I just realized I also added a dampener. So it's about 6,5 grams (Wilson pro overgrip)

Dept feels about the same. It’s trying to look at the speed of the ball when hitting at 100%.

Yes good idea. The reason for adding weight is because I’ve added an overgrip. But maybe it’s too much.

I'm (for the first time) tinkering with my racquet. Mostly for balancing and a small addition of power. So this is the case: Head Extreme Tour Strung: 318 grams Balance: 32 cm I now added an overgrip which adds about 8,5 grams and counter balanced with 1 gram at 12'. Total 327,5. I would...

Yes. Still disappointed that the shop (again) wasn’t truthful with me. But these specs should be manageable. I can at least add some weight at 12. How did you customize your Tours?

I just received my Extreme Tour. The shop promised me this one came exactly on spec, so I let them string it. Measuring it now at home: Strung weight: 318 gram with Poly Tour Pro Strung balance: 32cm This is under weight right? How are the specs of others?
