    Pro Staff 6.1 100 and a little lead tape... WOW (also, question inside)

    I have a couple Pro Staff Six.One 100 v13 rackets I was about to put up for sale, until I put a little lead tape at 12 o'clock. Wow. I cannot say enough about how this changed everything. The feel is there, the power is there, the control is there. I tried a leather grip, which didn't help me...

    Which year of the Pure Drive Tour / Roddick is the best???

    Specifically, I’m interested in the tours/Roddick weight & balance class, unless there’s any reason to take a regular one and weight it to those specs.

    The most beautiful racquet in the world!

    Slazenger Pro Braided Trinity (Tim Henman). Especially with a leather grip on it, matching the bronze stripe. So slick.

    Which year of the Pure Drive Tour / Roddick is the best???

    I'm wondering, what year of the Pure Drive Tour / Roddick is the "best". Any opinions??? I have a couple of the Pure Drive Roddick GT (2009?) that haven't been out of my bag in a while, and I find myself really miss that feeling of just cracking the ball off both sides with it. The launch...

    Painting a racket

    Just wondering, if someone were to paint a tennis racket without completely sanding off the original paint (simple overcoat), how much weight would this add to the racket? And what about paint and then a glossy overcoat? Also, would the handle need some weight to compensate for the added paint...

    Set up recommendations

    I think both rackets work well with a soft textured poly, but I stick around 55. I've found that the PSC and PDR are two of the easier rackets to switch between. The added power and bigger sweet spot in the PDR mimics the added plow-through from the PSC a little, and the launch angle is...

    VS in the mains, right? Does the Max Power tame it? Or what are you liking about going hybrid on this one?

    String recommendations for this racket? And what are you using in it? I have Black Code 17 in mine at 52lbs in it and love everything except the launch angle on my forehand and sometimes how it can sail on that side. TW review recommends ALU Power (16L?), so I was going try that or Tour Bite...

    How do you decide if you want to add more weight to the handle or the head?

    thanks guys, but i'm more wondering what the result is from a playing standpoint when adding lead to various areas... with respect to plowthrough, stability, static headspeed and momentum through the shot, how it feels on pronation, effect on serve vs groundstroke...

    How do you decide if you want to add more weight to the handle or the head?

    I've been leading rackets for years, but always just a little at 3 and 9 on the head. Recently, I've started giving it more thought, and get that lead at 12 o'clock on the head is more polarizing and less stabilizing than lead at 3 and 9, but what about the handle? How do you decide if you...

    Thinest replacement grip available?

    I did the research and decided to just go with the Babolat SkinFeel just because it was an easy find. It really reduces the size a lot... possibly a full size easily.

    Comparing tensions with pitch

    is there a difference in pitch for the same tension if the rackets have different head sizes? i.e. would a 100sq in head at 60lbs sound lower than a 95sq in head strung at 60?
