Nice weight placement explanation, but I'm really glad to see you propping Head tape. Love the stuff, been using it since my paddle had cat gut😁 Lately, I've been hitting the trade name with a black Sharpie just for aesthetics.
That's a Ball Peen hammer. I like your thought of putting the lead tape near the bottom corners so I don't add too much to the swing weight of my control paddle.
Nice video 👍 One way to demonstrate the differences in swing weight is swinging a hammer from both the handle (high swing weight) and the the head of the hammer (low swing weight) The static weight never changes but it sure does a good job of showing the difference
My understanding from a player who worked with lead their whole life is that it is safe as presented. Different than lead pain that flakes and may be ingested by children. I cover mine in an abundance of caution. And lead is a natural element found in nature.
