Even balance for K90

[CliffH]

Hi, I have been trying to add lead to my k90 to get an even balance, but when does it end?
I am going to have to start doubling up somewhere or go completely around the head.

I started in the upper hoop and have made it past the pws and still have a lot more lead to add.

Has any one else done this? I remember a thread where the technique was to remove the leather grip to make the balance more even. I like the leather so I will try another way.

(I searched for an hour before asking)

Before anyone asks, I have been adding lead to my frame for awhile and like it for the better plow through and it is easier for my serve and volley, so I figured I might as well aim for the mythical even point. I love heavier frames as I came from the wood era.

Thanks for the effort. cliff

idk. i've never tried this. but i just recently added lead tape to my dunlop m-fil 200s and i have an even better plow through than before. keep in mind, i'm only 110 lb and 5' 6".

for adding lead, what does your racket weight read now??? it must be over 13 ounces?

Hi, I will get my scale from work tomorrow and post. The frame was 12.2 unstrung, .5 for strings, .1 for tgrip. total of 12 inches of .25in wide lead tape times 4 - tip down, twice, both inside edges. So a total of 24 inches of 1/2 in lead tape. cliff
