285g + Lead vs 300g

If you get a 285g Pure Aero Team 2023 and put some Lead on 10 and 2 o’clock and in the handle, in a way that doesn’t change the balance and totals 300g, will it play the exact same as the stock 300g Pure Aero with the same swingweight as the modified 285g one? Or are there differences in stability? They’d have the same head size, balance, stiffness and swingweight

could 310g be too heavy for me?

ive been playing tennis twice weekly for around 2 months now (1x coaching session and 1x session for fun with a friend). to start ive been using a very old 18x20 radical mp weighing 295g. i have improved a lot and i want to switch to something more spin friendly like a head boom or extreme with an a more open string pattern. would 310g be too heavy? i cant really tell and i dont have the option to demo the racquets sadly. ive found some good deals for the Pros, the MPs seem more expensive for some reason. probably because theyre more popular? any insights would be helpful!

Is 285g too light?

I’ve been playing Tennis for around a month (2x weekly) and have gotten really decent at it. I’ve been using an old Radical MP weighing 295g since the beginning. Im now thinking of switching to a different racket. I have found a really good offer for the Pure Aero 2023 for around ~110usd, however it’s the Team version weighing 285g. Is that too light? I would describe myself as athletic. 24yo 5'11 and 185lbs. Should I try 285g or stay away completely?

Is this a cause for concern?

Can I safely buy this racket or should I stay away?

Is the Head Radical MP 2009 a good racket to learn Tennis? Got it from my dad but I never played Tennis before. It has a 98square inch head and weighs 295 grams. I’m quite athletic and usually can learn new sports pretty quickly. Is it too challenging or is it viable to learn the proper technique? Or should I get a new one?

I am trying to learn Tennis. I am pretty athletic and usually I learn new sports pretty quickly. To start my father gave me his old Head Radical MP from 2009 I think. However the strings are pretty dead and I have no clue which strings to put on it. Does anyone have a recommendation? Preferably something that’s not too harsh on my arm since I’m new but also something that is at least a bit demanding/challenging and not too „easy“. Something that feels rewarding but not impossible for a beginner
