I know that this is yet another lead tape thread but I really need some help with my questions.
Over the summer I have been experimenting with lead tape. I have found that I absolutely love 2 grams at 12 and some lead at the buttcap to counterbalance. Usually 4-8 grams.
However, I find it is horrendous to volley with because it is unstable, and this leads to either no power on the volleys or the stability causing me twist my racquet and giving me vibrations which really hurt my arm. This is fine for now but for spring for high school tennis I really need to be able to volley, my coach stresses it a lot, and I am a bit worried.
I have tried lead at 3 and 9 and didnt like it. And well i actually cant really experiment with lead tape too much to find my perfect setup that includes volleying because once the school year starts, I basically only play tennis when it is paid for or else I dont have time.
So my question is does anybody have a like almost GUARENTEED setup that would help my volleying while still keeping the feel with the lead at 12, or just some general tips for volleying with a polarized setup.
BTW, I use a kblade 98
I like the lead at 12 because I feel like the ball sits on my strings longer and I can really spin/ add more power to the ball. This is the feeling that I would like to preserve. I didn't have this feeling with the lead at 3 and 9.
