zdepth's racquet butt building

I was using a Pro Kennex Redondo last time & it had a great flared out butt cap on it which provided a great feel & grip support which was unrivalled by any other racquet brand. You would never know on how it would make such a great difference unless you use it yourself. Its especially useful when you have a worn out grip or while doing a hard flat serve as the racquet can fly out of your hand easily... I've witnessed someone from this forum who broke his racquet when it flew out of his hand during serve. So never save money in getting frequent grip change as a worn out grip might cost u a racquet. Anyway to enhance your grip u can do a butt building to achieve a flare out butt just like a Pro Kennex racquet. Here's my customization on my Fischer racquet:



The ingredients: 1 inch surgical/athletic tape ($3) & a brand new replacement grip ($9.90). U can use some other tape but surgical tape is soft & nice.



Checkout the cool screw-on Fischer handle pallet... this design doesnt rattle or lossen & u can screw on a different grip size pallet to change the grip size
unlike the molded handles u find on wilson & numerous other brand.



Just use the 1 inch surgical tape & wrap around the butt end & build it up to a desired thickness



walaa! wrapped up with a karakal PU super replacement grip... checkout the flare!



Added a layer of Gamma Supreme overgrip for my normal grip size build up



This is what I'm talking about... the pinky on my hand rest just slightly on the edge of the flared butt, eliminating a slip. I cant put it in words but u gotta try it out & then u know the grip feeling that this makes especially on serve. Happy experimenting 

At least Tenji or Jogoya will do just fine   

Simple mah, just by bringing Redcaffeine there

hahah... i hav it already . just haven't string it up yet... in my store room

about the stringing adding lead... personally i haven't try it yet but i know a few players who adds them to experiment and some came to enjoy it. esp when buying those asian versions of the k6.1 90... i know a few who will add a few G to make it the US version alike. So i won't rubbished adding leads etc for tweaking the racket to suite individual. If not then i post this question back... all 300g rackets the same ?? of coz not .. coz weight is not the only factor to consider when we swing a rack, it's the racket's overall weight, the swing balance, head heavy, head light, stiffness, sweetspot size etc... so by tuning it even by pros, they can maximized on their comfort level as well as performance. Even more clearly those tourney's players be it local or international who has a few of the same racq, for e.g two k6.1 90s, they might hav some slight diff due to their diff batches. so players do custom the weights to get it as close as possible.

Thus i would say it's nothing wrong and nothing weird to custom ur racq to your own personal pref. it's very personal and up 2 individual desire...

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.

Hello guys, just bought a bunch of balls from yan (very fast and reliable seller) , so here are some questions I want to ask.

1. How do I preserve the pressure in tennis balls without buying any others equipment?
2. What can I do with a bunch of balls except training my serve?
3. Is it appropriate to bring a lot of balls playing with my friends when there are others bunch of players playing beside me?

Thanks.
