    Customizing a racquet to “slow down” its swing speed

    Sometimes when I test or use racquets in stock form I find that some do not suit my swing by being too whippy or fast through the air. Which got me thinking, what would be the most efficient way to add weight to slow it down a little bit? My brain has always thought: swingweight up = slower...

    I.prestige MP help!

    I’m playing with my I.Prestige MP. I've been using this racket since I was 12 years old. I've also used the LM Prestige, Flexpoint Prestige, and the Youtek Prestige. My favorite Prestige is the Prestige Classic 600, but I'm not using it at the moment because of the forgiveness. Among the MP...

    Lead tape 3 and 9 for a lower launch angle

    Hi a few days ago I tried some lead tape that I got left approx 4-5 grams at 3-9 in my racquet, I did this because of the article of ttuniversity talking that the lead tape in this location reduces topspin lower part of the racquet face. What I can say is that I was true the launch angle was...

    Make my 93p more...K90-like?

    Hey friends! Impulse bought a 93p (18x20) after a nice little demo sesh last month and still trying to get things fully dialed in with it. It's a great racquet as-is, don't get me wrong, but I'm really trying to make it sing. For context, I'm coming from a K90 and I absolutely love the weight...

    Adding lead can increase vibration

    I switched to a new kind of strings, at a tension I have not tried before, and replaced the thick leather grip with a thinner one. Static weight 349 grams was smaller than before. I like the pop of the strings, but the racquet recoiled too much on impact. A larger weight is needed. I added a...

    Should I Increase Racket Weight

    I currently have a stock PS90 Blx so that should be about 357g. It's really easy to swing for me (idk why people say it's heavy), so should I increase weight just because I can? Is it better to weigh up the racket as much as you comfortably can, or is there a better strategy to choosing racket...

    Looking precisely cut lead tape length ways

    Sorry if this is not allowed post. I am looking to trim some reels of lead tape to make them 1/4" and 3/8' wide. 36 yard reels. Any ideas where I could get this done by a machine. I needs to be near perfect.
