I was just wondering if anyone out there that played with the rok 93, had put lead tape on their racket and if so how much, all I want is a little more pop on the racket. I string the rok with nxt tour at 55 lbs and have found that after alot of racket searching this set up is very arm friendly and I have had alot of problems in the past with tennis elbow. Thanks for any input.

Exactly. Guy I hit with did just that ; he strings @ 55 lbs. also got the desired power .
 
I just aquire a rok93 two days ago. strung it with technifibre at 42 pound. no problem with low power. the control is still very good. this is a pretty hard racket to generate spin so one just got to tailor towards a flatter stroke. have anyone experiment with low tension rather than weight? as it is, it is a pretty heavy racket to swing.

I use the ROK. I have added 3 grams to the racquet 1.5 grams each at the 3 and 9 o clock position. My coach who also used the ROK put lead at the 3 and 9, and also in the handle. Depends on what you want. But just for more solid, 3 and 9 works well.
