    I don't think that metal think is best solution.
    If you added 5-6 of each side, it will be 12 pcs together.
    I don't know how much weight each metal, but at the end I am afraid the head will become too heavy.
    I think now, you have to measure what is the BP and share to us.

    it's actually 16 pcs
    I agree, but the metal is thin enough i guess,
    About BP, my grip not an original grip, it's Ti replacement grip(ori grip removed) n the grip made my racket BP changes, then i not sure if i measure my racket BP, will give a comparison to original racket BP.
    To me, i fell the BP is still higher when it's new (ori grip n no metal pcs)
    well i'll try to measure the BP latter..

    Don't fret on 26 or 27lbs causing similar problems. Both my AT900P is at 28lbs and such problems has yet to surface. :D.

    seems like a great idea. However, i agree, what happens during stringing, wont the metal accidentally slice the string a bit?

    It shouldn't be a problem with nowaday's racquet for them to strung at 30lbs, but it's best to not to because it's like throwing your money into the deep sea. You have to realize that international players all strung at 30lbs+, but their racquets are special, not our ordinary ones. I know I'll be bashed for saying this, but I just don't believe that international players play with the same racquets as we bought at the stores.

    I always said, only yonex knows the answer if there is the different from national racket with common racket.
    However as I got many of the racket from Ina player, I compared and the weight is different with common racket. Ex: I weighted 2 AT900T 3UG5 the weight is 91gram while common 900T 3UG5 is only 87grm.
    The sound of the frame and shaft is also different.

    No matter what code is ur 900,or it's players or not....all would have the same problem after strung few times.It's just a matter of time.Maybe one can stand longer,but the problem will still exist after some time.So,if u have ur own way to protect the frame from getting worse,do it.If not,learn from reading more.:)

    The only different is that u pay for it,while they got it for free.So they dont have to worry to much about it.;)
