Please help me out! :)

I had 'blx six one 18x20' with leather replacement grip. It weight over 360grams.
My arm gets tired of playing over 3hours.
So I bought two "head IG prestige pro 95" since TW said it's similar racquet to six.one 95.
they said it's 6pts HL on website but it says 1HL on the racquets.
Since I bought this on e8ay I just want to add some lead tape and make this racquet to more HL balance (6HL would be great).
It's 341grams now with grip(kimony leather grip), over grip(wilson skin), dampener(Sampras).
I want to add 5-9grams. Make it under 350g
Do you guys know if I can achieve 6HL with 5-9grams adding?
If you do, please tell me where to put it and how many grams of lead tape I should put.
Thank you.. For reading and answering

on the prestige pros it say 1 INCH headlight, which equals 8 points, after stringing it should be approximately 6 points

Thank you. Sir!
I misread the balance on my racquet.

So now I want to maintain 6pts HL and want to increase racquet weight to 350grams.
It's 341 now. Where should I put lead tape??

I have a suggestion...

If you can get hold of a pack of 1/2" lead tape as well as another of 1/4" tape, it might get really interesting if you can just tune your racquets by feel. I did this at the beginning of the summer, but I had a backboard to hit against instead of needing to test the patience of a hitting partner with the inherent stopping and starting.

The first thing I did was add just a little 3/9 o'clock lead (1/4") to the hoop for mildly better stability at contact - a little can go a very long way towards that for me. Then I put 1/2" lead tape under my overgrip to find the degree of HL balance that felt right for me. Once it felt right, it was fantastic in action!

After the tuning, I weighed and measured the altered racquet at home and found that I had nearly cloned the setup of my older frames - similar balance with only about 0.1 oz. less static weight. Not a huge surprise, but this tuned racquet clearly outperformed my old frames with the similar setup (including strings).

What's my point? These newer racquets may have their own best layout that will reveal itself if you experiment on them. The weight and balance you're shooting for could be great, but you might find something special if you try tuning by feel.

Oh yeah, I also do some teaching and your story about your old Wilson got my attention. You mentioned that your arm got tired when you used it for around three hours of play. That's a bit of a signal - if your swing mechanics are as sound as you may want them to be, it ought to be your legs that get tired after that long instead of your arm. I can definitely relate because I've used heavier frames forever, but I also had to adopt a better kinetic chain to use them without wearing on my arm.

Thank you. I will try add little by little and get feels.
I think my swing mechanics have problems too.
People say I'm using too much arm.
Here's me hitting.

What's my rating? (Video of practice session)
