Racquet Weight Kit

Abstract

A racquet weight kit comprised of a plurality of weighted clips and counterweights for removable attachment to a racquet frame and handle, respectively, to enable a user to experiment with different weights and/or different weight distributions on an existing racquet. Once the weight and weight distribution has been optimized to suit the user, the weighted clips and counterweight clips can be replaced with weighted tape to more permanently customize the racquet to the user's physical characteristics, mechanics and swing.
