If you're not sure where you most often contact the ball on your strings, look for a wear pattern, in the form of ball fuzz. A wear pattern will quickly appear. Again, we don't recommend adding weight in the upper hoop of lightweight, head-heavy racquets. The sweetspot on these racquets is already higher than with traditionally weighted and balanced racquets. Increasing Swingweight with Minimal Added Weight Players seeking to make a racquet swing heavier, without substantially increasing overall weight should add 5-10 grams of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position, or racquet tip.
Some players seek to simply make their racquets heavier without altering static balance.
To increase overall racquet weight and retain the same balance, add weight in the throat, or 6 o'clock position. This will slightly increase swingweight, though, making the racquet a little less maneuverable. Counter weighting is, as the name implies, simply adding weight to the opposite end of the racquet where most of the weight already exists. On head-heavy racquets, this means adding weight to the handle area. Again, this is a fairly straightforward procedure but does require removing the grip and butt cap.
