If it tilts to the racquet head, it is head heavy. If it tilts toward the handle, it is head light. The balance of a racquet can make two racquets of equal weight feel different. A head light racquet is better for serve and volleyers who need to move the racquet quickly. A head heavy racquet is a little better for baseliners who want to place more mass behind the racquet.
Most racquets are only marginally head heavy or head light.
As a rule, the trend in weight is toward lighter and lighter racquets, particularly with the introduction of graphite. Some racquets are even less than 10 ounces. The lighter a racquet, the easier it is to swing. However, light racquets place less weight behind the shot, and hence you have to swing faster to get a more powerful shot.
