How to select a head-heavy racquet?

Just stick out a finger and place the shaft and find the point where the racquet is evenly balanced on your finger. The closer the balance point is to the head of the racquet, the more head-heavy he is.

 

What is the starting point since that i can say: it's a head heavy racket?

A racket with balance at 29cm is head heavy?

 

Well, it depends on the length of the racket first, but in general 290mm+ is headheavy.

 

Hold the racket and try balancing it on your finger. If your finger is towards the head when it's balance then it's head heavy. The best oval head heavy that I can think of is cab30ms or cab 20 (ask dink about this one). They are both well priced, especially for the yonex line.

Edit: balancing without strings and grip of course though it really doesn't affect it that much.

 

since I started about 3 months ago, I have just been using a powerblade falre for £15, which is heavy headed and heavy as it is at over 100 g weight..

I finally tried out my cheaper racket which i boguht in a shop for £10, and it hits just as hard, and is lighter for reaction times.

I think I prefer lighter head rackets, despite thinking I liked, or needed a heavy racket for power!

Also, this finger thing I do on my racket, but in the shops, all rackets be they $5 of $100 all have tags on the head so its hard to tell the weight

 

Then ask the shop keeper, as long as we aren't talking about kmart rackets.

 

if we take the half of the shaft, from the beginning of the head to the beginning of the grip, and divide it in half, would one about 3-4 cm from the middle closer to the grip be head light?

 

That sounds around right, though if u string the racket and don't put overgrip on you have to have some leeway.
