Question

what are options i can use to have weights in teh hadnle or what are alternatives to adding weights to amke a racquet more head light

Answer 1

If you're not planning to add too much weight, just get some lead tape and stick it on your existing grip and cover it with an overgrip.  That's what I've done with my racquets.

If you need to add more weight, you can remove the racquet's buttcap and find a way to glue fishing weights to the insides of the racquet handle.  

Good luck!

Answer 2

Theres a "trap door" at the end of the handle which you can pry open. It leads to the inside of the handle. You can put a lead fishing hook in there along with some clothe or something to keep it in place. Put the cap back on, and voila, you got weight on the handle.

Answer 3

the staples you found may be for holding the base grip in place. actually you can regrip the handle without using staples. so to add weight, first remove the base grip, including the staples. next, place some lead tapes on the handle as much as you require. then place the base grip back to its place. if the base grip is no longer sticky (or the adhesive is worn out) then you can wrap some double tape (celluloid tape with adhesive on both sides) then wrap the base grip. otherwise you can always buy a new base grip (replacement grip). hope it helps :)

Answer 4

I'm not sure what else you can use for the handle but I know you can get some weights that stick on the end of your racquet.  I have some on mine and it really helps with making your shot go faster and also it helps make the ball go where you want it to.  I'd try to get some of those if I were you.  I have 6 on mine and they help a lot
