    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if putting an overgrip on a racket changes the balance, or that it only feels different? I'm planning to get an AT800DE (only the 3U/G3 version is available here - BX code) and I was wondering if putting an overgrip on it would change the balance from head-heavy to even or something like that?

    Kind regards,
    Stijn

    It does change the balance, but would probably only make a head heavy racquet less head heavy, I really doubt it'll change it all the way to even.

    Apart from the obvious thickness change of the grip, I don't think the racket's feel would change that much. Trying out different grip combinations to find out what suits you best is a good idea;) :D
