Lead Tape

[J-lob]

what's the best lead tape for customization(brand)? how and where do u add the weights to increase the weight of a racket without messing with the balance?

Add it in the throat to minimise changes in balance. I don't know about brands.. I think babolat tape is pretty good?

You should look here:

on the positioning.

All the brands are much of a muchness if you ask me. 3M make the best apparently but then they also make half the other stuff and just brand it differently. The TW stuff is good

To add to this, the only thing missing is putting it round the top of the throat or in the triangle of the throat itself. Some people prefer this as the effect on balance is minimal and the feel is different

some brands: unique, babolat, gamma

if you don't want to mess with balance, find the balance point, which should be somewhere between the throat and the handle and apply the lead tape to that point on the inside part of the throat
