Light Replacement Grip?

[Fluffy_Skye]

I’ve been using head hydrosorb pro for a long time and quite like it. However, I want to make one of my racket more head heavy without adding weight to the hoop. I think a lighter replacement grip might do the trick. I play with overgrip and I notice when I was replacing over grips, the balance is much more head heavy when the racket is without an overgrip. So I figured if there’s a replacement grip that’s 3-4 grams lighter, it might be just right. I have to use an overgrip because I sweat a lot and almost threw out my racket when I was trying to play without overgrip.

Do note that I don’t want to use super thin grip like the babolat syntac team because I still want cushioning. Is there such a replacement grip that’s average thick like hydrosorb pro but lighter? Thanks!

Just put one gram of mass at twelve o'clock.

don't overthink this.

use head protection tape to find what you like then have real ballast put on when you get to goldilocks.

Or try a thin overgrip like Wilson Pro Overgrip Sensation, which is 0.4mm thick and 3g installed, so about 3g lighter.

Wilson Pro Perforated - light, absorbs well, feels amazing, kind of cusioned. You will have to replace it often.
