hahaha.....someone customiziing his racquet....hehehe. Anyway, the thing to remember about adding lead tape is:

1. Sweetspot moves in the direction of the added weight.So if you add weight at 12 o'clock, your sweetspot will move up.
2. Adding weight to anywhere along the hoop will change static weight, swing weight and sweet spot position.
3. Added weight does stabilize the racquet on off centre hits and increase "plow" through.But depending on your strength , it will tire you out faster and slow your racquet head speed down.
4. I think most pro's like to add lead at 12 o'clock. Improves the serve strength as well. Counter balancing is not necessary, but I like to do so if weight is added to 12,2,10,3,9 o'clock position coz i like to keep my head light balance the same or close to it. Only the 6 o'clock position or racquet throat hardly changes the balance and swing weight, so I don't usually bother.
5. You may customize as much as you like by adding weight at all positions, but it's all trial and error. See where you are contacting the ball more when you hit ( look for where the ball fuzz is mainly located) , before deciding where you would like to add the weight.

I am not sure why adding the extra 4g on top of the previous 4g you added to the pdrgt caused the "twang" sound again. I only got to try hitting it when you added the first 4g and it felt much more stable. Could be it became a little too heavy, making you hit off centre more because your swing hasn't adjusted to the new weight ? Not sure ,bro.

yah the Barricade V you can get it at the Adidas Factory Outlet. So far i've heard of is the Summit USJ (main outlet) and also the PKNS Bangi outlet. Both of these outlet sells around RM210. But problem is lacking of sizes and choice .. bascially they are more into those hard to sell colors, the silver/black and black/gold Shanghai edition. Well one of our dear fren is selling them online here.

As for the Mi-Adidas, it's having a promo now fr the usual rm6xx price and selling it at RM315 @ the Adidas Outlet in Pavilion. If i'm not mistaken till Nov. The best thing of getting it there is that you have variety of customization on physical appearance in terms of colors and can put your name there too. Also the size, you can get any size you want and also customize the thickness of the sole and the comfort of the insole. Even girls can get their sizes there... size 4 etc. Also for wide feet fellas.. you can opt for the wide based Barricade V. so for a fraction of cost fr the on-the-shelf shoes, this seems like a good deal. too bad i got 2 pairs already else i wud have ordered one to fit too...We were there last week and ordered 3 pairs ..the grp of us lah.

So get it while it's hot.
