Lead Weight in Pro Staff Tour Handle

Semi-Pro
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has placed lead weights inside the pro staff tour 95" handle? My racket is setup with 10 grams of lead tape on the 3 and 9 o'clock position.
I was thinking of placing 5 grams in the handle because the racket is a little too balanced for my liking, also the racket twists in my hand most of the time. Will placing lead weight (fisherman's lead) in the handle solve the problems above?

The weight in the handle will do nothing for the twisting of the racquet in your hand. With your current racquet, you'll need to hit closer to the center of the strings or add more weight to the 3 and 9 o'clock locations. Otherwise, you'll need to go to a larger headed racquet, which has greater resistance to twisting just due to the width of the head itself.
