Pooh Sir,
Different rackets has different weight, and it might also has different stiffness, swingweight, balance point and other criteria. So two different racket with same weight would might not play the same. Two same racket, with different criteria would also might not play the same.

I do think that most pro's use lead tape on their rackets. Sampras, Roddick, Sabatini, etc. So I do think lead tape does make a different.

Bro,

Some pro's racquet are specially made for them to suit their game.
Maybe those racquets u mentioned is just the normal type of racquet u can get it everywhere.
Even Federer's racquet is diff from what the shop is selling.correct me if i wrong.

medium stroke


long stroke


range of exo3. the pair of exo3 on sale by altezze8448 is in longer,faster stroke range

thts y u shud play in the morning, where ur wife is still asleep. hehehehehehe

Carto i need to salute u

Shoot the panda pooh88, >:-) , angel-ice, add lead tape, MUCH cheaper than buying a heavier racket, always buy slightly lighter racket, if want to more heavy just add lead tape, you cannot do this the other way round.

Fed's racket is retail, the only customization done on it is the grip, and of course lead tape under the racket bumper.

wawawa.. lots of opinions on customizing rackets

hafta ask my 'uncles' friends over here in penang first lor

Yes Sir I agree with you. There are some Pros who are using customized rackets straight from the factory. Some use a stock racket with personal customization and some, use an different racket with a different paintjob.

Take Pete Sampras for example. He used to play with legendary Wilson Pro Staff Original a.k.a St. Vincent. He played with this racket his whole professional career. Unlike some Pro's who's claimed to have change their rackets like every two years or so but actually using a same racket under different paintjob..

So if you look at those photos, you may clearly see that Pistol Pete does use lead tape on his racket at 3 & 9 o'clock. Why you may ask? Different weight, balance point, swingweight, etc might give you a different results.

For my personal opinion i wouldn't advise normal player add lead tape.
Feel very awkward when u hit ground stroke.
For service might help a bit becos the head a bit heavier.
Anyway kokolomondo when can i have a game with u

Haa haa...I did. Was a team event.

If you guys interested in Signum, i can hook you up.
Tension on the exo3 about 56 but since break in might have drop a little.

Hehe. Actually, I myself have never tried using lead tape. I use my rackets just as it is. But I do think there's no harm in experimenting, tweaking your equipments as long as you're happy with it.
