Hi everyone,
3 or 4 months ago I bought a new racket (which in theory should be a bit head heavy and rather offensive). However after quite a bit of time playing with the racket, I feel like it isn`t head heavy at all, so I wanted to know where exactly the balance point is (according to several posts here a racket with a balance point >=300 is usually considered as head heavy). The problem is, you usually have to measure this without and grip and string, and I dont really feel like ripping off all the strings of my racket :D
So how exactly do strings and grip affect the balance point? I know the result isnt very accurate but for some rough estimation its enough, i think. The balance point of my current racket is at 285mm and i use Yonex BG65 and a standart overgrip (dont know the name, nothing too thick, nothing too thin). Is it possible to calculate where the balance point should approximately be?
Thanks for all help and sorry for the long text ;D
