Sure i remember
@teachingprotx doing that because junior frames are often more flexy than standard length adult versions. He does like playing with noodles though!
I have done half an inch but not a full inch, i should try it one day.
Funny i have been doing the opposite lately.... buying older 90's sticks that weigh a ton but have a nice feel and pulling lead out of the handle and trimming bumpers until theyre down around 320-330g. A lot of those older racquets only weigh so much because they have a ton of lead in the handle, which i guess they did to get the static weight high without increasing SW too much.
Almost bought a PD lite a while back because on TWU they have the power level rated as low, which means i could put gut in it. Does that seem the case with yours? Pretty well all adult racquets made today are just too powerful to put gut in, which is a tad depressing...
