Here is a do-it-yourself tip on 'lead tape' for tennis rackets. Quick Fact: Adding lead tape will make your racket heavier, it is the simple fact but keep in mind the placement of the lead tape will determine its effectiveness.
3 primary benefit to adding lead tape are more stability on shots, more power and better dampening.
1. Put lead tape in the head to make it head-heavy to generate more pace on the ball (hit a heavier ball).
2. Put lead tape in the handle for the head-light feel and to create a racket that is easier to maneuver for volleys.
3. Put lead tape around the throat area for a heavier overall feel and stability.
If you find that your volleys are lacking that stability and your racket is 'twisting' on you, perhaps adding the lead tape around the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position will help.
