Racquet Customization on Liquidmetal Radical

[Kurishtyan]

I am a junior player playing for the high school. I have 2 head liquidmetal radical MP racquets. I was getting my racquets strung and had no racquet for my match yesterday. So I borrowed a teammate's spare head flexpoint prestige.. I loved the weight and feel of the racquet. I want to create a similar feel with lead swing weights and tape. I was wondering if anyone had reccomendations on to where i put the swing weights and lead tape. After i make a little bit more money i am definately going to buy a flexpoint prestige.
Thank you In Advance

lead tape i use. a inch i think is about a gram.

so find out weight difference......

and then around the bottom of racquet head, above = more HH, below is more HL...... i obviously don't have huge insight..... but you can do the balance before you change it, and then check it as you add lead tape..... assuming the racquet you want to change to is heavier.... feel free to ask if you don't understand this (somewhat incoherent i know).

or post the weights and the balance points to each and maybe me and others here can suggest.

You'd need to add around 20g in weight with lead tape, mostly around the handle as the Prestige has a more head-light balance than the Radical.

Personally I've added about 12g round the handle and 3g at the top of the head of my LM Radical and that works well for me. Feels more solid than a stock Radical but still not hard to swing.

u can't really make a Prestige out of a Radical

i've added 30 g of lead tape under the grip of a
Ti-Radical, so it must have been about 340g. But it didn't make it more stable or much better than stock form.

the flex, the beam width is sth. u can't change.
the weight distribution is also a very complex and tricky biz.
