Lead tape

Where would I find lead tape for my racquet? I want to add some weight to the bottom on my racquet to even out the head with the base. Should I go to a tennis store or a hardware store? About how much does it cost?

i dont know much it costs but you can probably get it wherever you bought your racket

^ exactly.

www.tenniswarehouse.com

or anywhere else..

not every tennis store sells it - but you can buy online. You also want to be careful to make sure the racquet still has balance - so find a website that shows you were to put the tape (for the effect you want).....

Golf shops usually carry it... thats where I got mine.

Sometimes it comes in pieces, sometimes in a roll. Easy to cut.

I know where to buy it now, thanks guys. Does anyone know if i can use it on a head heavy racquet (Flexpoint 4) to counter balance the weight on the head or should I go to the stringers at my club and have them see what's up with it?

It really depends on what kind of racquet you have. Some of them will allow you to simply open up the butt cap and enter in any sort of weights, a typical choice is fishing weights,and place it in there as long as there is ample cushioning. others though will be much more complicated...

my tennis-shop has it for around 8Euro

my racks are head-light so i added 1.5 ounces of this stuff up top. Definitely a better feel now. Don't know where to add for head-heavy racks though.

Well i don't know now. I hit tonight and just used a freshly strung racquet and everything feel good again. I think that i was in a rhythm tonight as well, but I still would like to invest on something to counterbalance the head when my string is not fresh.

kosmikgroove, I saw what you are talking about on a site, but I don't want to mess up my 200 dollar racquets w/o knowing what to do. THANKS GUYS!!
