I think it's because the lower density allows for a more equal distribution of the weight. If you were to apply the same weight as, say, 3 layers of athl. tape in lead tape, you would have to cut it into many small pieces and space them apart to get a similar distribution as you do with the athletic tape. Personally, I can't think of another reason - I agree that it is quicker to apply a small piece of lead tape. I don't do either, as I can't really see how that's better than just picking a slightly head heavier racket, but if I had to, I'd probably choose lead tape as I play Braveswords and the athletic tape pretty much ruins any aerodynamic design of the frame.
It makes sense for the distribution of the weight. I personnaly like the weight to be at 12 o'clock, but I know some like it to be on the whole upper half.
Hi Fans: Is Liu Xiaolong: N70 Qiu Zihan: N50II (previously N90) Are the above new doubles India champions recently still using above rackets?

du pengyu is using n50, but zhang wengming i dont know, it is not n50 or n55, n55 got yellow colour at the fame, n50 top frame is not white colour hold by ZWG, n70 racket got white colour at the t joint connecting the shaft and the frame, used by liu xia long
It's a N50 with white insulating or athletic tapes in the upper area of the racket head. Like Chen Long and Lin Dan, etc.
