Add 5 ¾ inches of 1g/inch tape on each side starting 1 ¼ inches above the handle. Add overgrip.
Why this placement?
Federico prefers weight closer to his hand instead of a head-heavy balance so he “feels like his hand is controlling the paddle.” Since he also values a responsive, poppy feel, keeping the added weight lower on the head helps preserve hand speed by keeping the balance point down.
The result:
The lower balance point adds control while the more stable face improves consistency, all while keeping the paddle fast and responsive on counters.
Fine tuning:
If the paddle still feels a bit heavy, he suggests adding two small strips on the butt cap in a plus-sign pattern to counterbalance the head weight and help the paddle move more easily.
