too headlight?

[zedek]

I am used to my frame being around 3 points head light and 11.8 ounces. the other day I was experimenting with creating a more headlight balance (6 pts) and I couldn't hit a ball with good pace for the life of me. just wondering why this happens, if power is decreased with too much of a headlight racket (EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T REMOVE ANY MASS FROM THE HEAD), and if most pro's use a more even balance? :-|

maybe the stick is too heavy for you to swing with pace now
maybe your timing is off
most pros are headlight

"most" male pros use your first racket with a little added weight.
If you don't hit a light SW racket hard, you either adjust to a faster swingspeed or you increase head weight (SW).

What exactly did you do to create the new balance?

All I did was add a few grams of lead tape to the buttcap in order to give me 6 pts head light. the total weight was more than 11.8 (closer to 12oz).

Most likely it's the first one.
