This setup gives you a bigger stability boost than the lightweight build while the Cap Coin keeps balance in check. The result is improved maneuverability at the net without sacrificing the power elongated paddles are known for. This build delivers a bigger sweet spot boost than the lightweight build while still improving maneuverability. What you’ll need: Two 3g strips (cut from 0.5g-per-inch tape) One 12g Cap Coin Overgrip Placement: Start each strip 2–3 inches above the grip Let it cover the bottom corners and run up the sides Since we’re placing weight slightly higher this adds more weight to the sides which improves the sweet spot more and then the 12g Cap Coin offsets the higher weight placement to improve the paddles balance and hand speed. What it changes: Increases swingweight by ~2.5 points Boosts twistweight by ~0.55 points Fine Tuning: If it feels too heavy, move the tape down about an inch If it still feels too light, move the tape up about an inch Small adjustments make a big difference. Finish it off with an overgrip to keep your handle fresh and dialed in.
