Add 1 gram (1 inch of tape) to the middle of each side and 3 grams (3 inches of tape) along the bottom side/corner area on both sides.
Add the Cap Coin to the bottom of the handle (remove the logo sticker first that's already there)
Add overgrip
Why this placement?
The 1 gram placed higher on the side strengthens the sweet spot zone. The added weight lower on the paddle increases overall mass for better plow-through without meaningfully increasing swing weight, while the 9g Cap Coin helps keep the balance lower just enough to offset the weight to the head while maintaining a natural swing balance.
The result:
The paddle carries through the ball super well and feels very stable with hand speed still intact.
Fine tuning:
If you try this setup and still want it a bit lighter, you can use the same tape locations with half-gram-per-inch tuning tape for a similar effect with less added static weight.
