Is lead tape the heaviest?

Hello,
I'm in need of adding around 90g to the handle. Is lead tape the heaviest tape one can get or is there a tape or material that is heavier?
I bought a roll of lead tape from a golf store - but to get 90g it requires a lot of tape - this makes it very bulky was wondering if there any other options.
BTW: Silicone in the handle is not an option - it's a wood handle - unless I drill a hole - but don't want to damage the racquet.

Thanks in advance
JRS

You can re-grip the handle with sorbothane grip.

The Sorbothane portion alone in a Gosen Sorbothane Grip System II weighs 40 grams.

You can also try taping coins either to the outside or the inside of the butt cap.

Most wooden racquets back in the Jurassic were even balanced. And their SW were also quite heavy, higher than the 320-330 most people use in this current era. If you are trying to make the frame HL so it will swing easier, your experiment will fail since you are adding the mass/weight below your hand. The SW will not decrease. 2 cents.

I bought some lead tape strips on Amazon, they were roughly 2x4cm and each weighed 50g

Thanks for the suggestions. 2x4 cm strips weighing 50g sounds promising.
Guess will have to do some testing and see what might work.
