Recently I modified my Prince Classic Graphte 100 which comes at around 11.8oz strung with a 315 swing weight in stock form. I added weight using TW customization strips at 10 and 2 (2 2" pieces on each side) and added a leather grip. I imagine the swing weight is around 325-330 now and weighted the racquet and came in at 12.5 oz with dampener. The racquet performs with tons of stability and decent plow through. Perhaps it was my first session with the extra weight but after 1.5 hrs of playing doubles I was feeling the weight. Something I could get used to with time due to how stable it felt, but left me wondering does starting with a heavier stock frame increase chances of better stability?
I ask because for example the Prince Texteme 100T has a similar swing weight but static weight is 1.0 oz less. Would same application of a leather grip and weight at 10 and 2 deliver similar stability results?
Curious on what people have done here.
