GAINES or anyone: how do you maintain balance throughout the grip sizes?

[10nisNe1?]

1. i guess the smallest grip would be more head-heavy than the biggest grip, right?
2. if so, did they measure the racquet balance using the middle, 4 3/8?
3. is there a racquet company that maintained the balanced throughout the grips but changed the weight (small grip sizes lighter than the bigger grip sizes)?

Gaines hasnt been around much these days, but see response below

no, they should spec the same

2. if so, did they measure the racquet balance using the middle, 4 3/8?

see above

3. is there a racquet company that maintained the balanced throughout the grips but changed the weight (small grip sizes lighter than the bigger grip sizes)?

all of the companies attempt to maintain the same specs thoroughut the gripsizes altho people say that some Yonex models in smaller gripsizes are lighter than their larger gripsized counterparts, but no one seems to be able to confrm this to be true or know which models it pertains to or what the spec differences are

thanks NBM. i have taken off the leather grip on my PK type C 93 and just use an overgrip to shed some weight (at least, i think it did), but it made it somehow almost even balanced--which i'm not liking. oh well...

Totally agree with NBM. Grip sizes make little or no difference in balance. Lead weights will give a better result.
