Badminton racket balance point in millimetres — under 290 mm is head-light, 290–295 mm even, above 295 mm head-heavy — and how to fine-tune balance with small (1–3 g) strips of lead tape at the racket head or under the handle wrap. Covers the standard 2/10, 3/9 and 12 o'clock placements, the 4–5 g total ceiling, and the honest caution that lead tape is a fine-tuning tool, not a fix for the wrong racket. A useful skill for players who love their frame but want a tweak.
