Things to Consider Before Buying any Tennis
Racquet

• Are you in need of new tennis racquet but not
  sure which one will fit you the best?
• Have a look at the features and my recommendation
  for getting best tennis racquets in this
  presentation.
• Presentation is for you
• You are searching for new racket but getting
  confuse while choosing it?
• You want to change racquets specification but in
  dilemma?
• You have a racket in your mind but want to
  explore its models?

How to Get Perfect Tennis Racquet? (First
Glance)

• Buying a tennis racket is a difficult and tricky
  decision especially if you are new comer or you
  play it in moon light.
• Practically when you are at the stage of buying a
  racquet, simple thing needs to be keep in mind is
  its weight, Balance, Head Size and
  String.
• Heaviest racket you can handle, type of tennis
  you play and time taken on court.
• Thats it you dont have to use the racket used
  by Nadal or any other player, just choose the
  racquet according to your playing level.

What Weight is Ideal for Tennis Racquets?

• Weight is the foremost factor while buying a
  tennis racket. Heavier the tennis racket, more
  power it will have.
• To clarify this, take two tennis rackets, one can
  be of HEAD Speed Lite Tennis racquet which is 265
  gm and other one is of Wilson Pro Staff Tennis
  racket which is 315 gm. Now swing those at
  150mph, Wilson Tennis racket will hit the ball
  harder as that of Head tennis racket.
• If you are strong enough you will be able to
  swing both rackets at the same speed. However,
  majority of the people will be able to swing 265
  gm faster as compare to 315 gm but the power
  generate with 315gm will still be more.
• As a result, the magic lies in finding the right
  balance between your swing speed and racquet
  weight.

What is Best Balance for Racquets?

• Balance of racquets is totally dependent on how
  the weight is mainly distributed from the center.
  Balance is mainly responsible for the swing
  weight.
• You must have observed few terms such as head-
  light and head-heavy while going through
  production reviews on various websites or online
  e-retailer sites.
• Practically, head-heavy seems very good and ideal
  light racquet but if we go through in detail, we
  will see weight in head will put some extra
  torque to our elbow, shoulder and wrist during
  the swing.
• This extra torque means you are more prone to
  elbow injury and other serious injuries. So if
  you are beginner I would suggest that you should
  go with head-light frame and develop your stroke
  ability with a regular practice. Later on, you
  can switch on to heavier one.

What Should be the Stiffness of Perfect
Tennis Racquets?

• Perfect stiffness generally provides better
  comfort and power. A stiffer racquet will be
  ideal for providing more power.
• Softer frame of the racket will absorb more
  energy from the ball and this will take power
  away from the shot. Stiffer rackets will tend to
  bend less and more power can be thrown on ball.
• You must be getting confused after reading this,
  just make it simple. When ball hits a racket, it
  vibrates on the strings. On the stiffer frames,
  vibrations tend to go harsher but slowly whereas
  when comparing these with softer frames, they are
  served less but last very longer.

Which String Pattern is Ideal?
The string pattern is generally related to number
cross pattern and strings available on the
rackets. For example, take 1619 or 1820
rackets string. 1820 are higher density
pattern, it will be stiffer so it will deflect
very less on hitting the ball. Whereas as we
compare to less density pattern such of 1619
that is less stiff one. You will get less
variation when hitting the ball.

What Head Size Should You Choose?

• Just like stiffness, head size is another tricky
  area totally depend on the individual
  preference. If you lack here, this can affect
  your game. In simple words if you are playing
  with large racket, this will generate more power
  as compare to smaller one. On the contrary this
  is negligible. For example, if we take 98sq. cm
  is more powerful as compared to 95sq. cm while
  their features are almost same.
• Technically it can be harder to play with larger
  rackets. Though it has large head size thus
  provides increased rotational stability. Further
  if we see the centre of string, weight is
  distributed so you need more power to twist it.
• In addition to above, when you intend to hit
  racket in the off-centre there will be miss-hits
  and commonly known as forgiving in tennis game.
• For most players my recommendation is head size
  that can vary from 98 to 100 sq inches.

Wrapping up, we have discussed features and
specification with my recommendation but its
just my personal view, it can vary according to
your experience and play level.
