Might be a dumb question but, does adding lead tape on 8 and 4 or 5 and 7 do anything to improve the sweet spot and mishits on the throat? Wanted to experiment this myself but I cant play till about a week or two.

I'm currently playing with a VP2 and every time I hit the throat area the ball just dies.
My current weight setup is 6 inches of 0.5g lead tape on each side of the paddle starting from 1 an inch below the top corners then down. I also want to try Dekel Bar's setup witch is 1 or 2 inches from the top corners down to 8 and 4.

So I've played with my VP2 for 30 hours now and it really did soften up a bit, but would it become even more softer over time or would it stay the same feel after the initial break in?
