Hey folks, was wondering if anyone can help me out here. Here's the deal. I really like the weight on the non-tour Babolat Pure Storm GT but need more head lightness. I demoed the Pure Storm GT Tour. While a great racket and a tad more head light, it felt a bit too heavy for me.
What would be my best option for a more head light Babolat racket that would go no more than about 11.5 oz. strung? Should I consider a regular Babolat Pure Storm GT and put some lead in the handle, bringing it up to about 11.5? If so, how much lead in the handle? I think the non-tour is about 11 oz. (according to TW).
Is this the best way to go? Or should I try the Pure Drive GT? It's about 11.2 oz but is a little more head light? I demoed the Pure Storm GT Limited, and while a nice stick and very head light, it felt a little underpowered. Also, I like a 98-100 sq. inch beam anyway. Thanks for any thoughts. I do better with a stick around 7-8 points head light as I love to "whip" the racket head through on my serve and on my topspin groundies.
