Wilson Blade 98 customization question

I'm considering customizing my Wilson Blade 98 v7 (16x19). If I add a total of 6 grams of weight at the 3 and 9 o'clock, how will this affect the balance? Will this modification make the racquet too head-heavy?

Any weight in front of the balance point changes this.
Try to play with it - if the balance doesn't work for you, you can always add 4-6 g behind the trapdoor.

6 grams at 3&9 will add 12 swingweight pts. and change the balance by 1.5 balance pts.

I would counter balance the 6 grams at 3&9 with a few grams in the butt cap to help keep the balance pretty much the same as what you're used to playing with.
