I play 10's on all 4 of my guitars (2 have 25" scale, 2 have 24.75")

I notice i play much better and prefer the tension on the 24.75" scale with 10's.
How can i get the strats to feel similar?
I added extra strings on the trems (i have 5 on both), but the strings (especially the lower ones) still feel 'loose'.
Do i have to go up to 11's? Could it be the headstock that makes it feel different (regarding the angle) ?
 
Strat's are 25 1/2". Carvin and PRS are 25".


anyways, i play 9's on Strats and 10's on the 24 3/4" scales and think they feel kindda the same? so no idea why the 10's are flubby on your strats, may just be par for the Tremola?
