RACKET SELECTION
HOW TO CHOOSE
Before choosing a racket, you should consider some general rules that apply to all rackets, regardless of company.
Heavier racket produces more power
The heavier racket has less vibration
The heavier racket has a larger sweet spot
The hardest racket (with greater stiffness) produces more power
The stiffer racket does not absorb shock as effectively
A racket with a bigger head produces more power
The racket with a bigger head is more stable
The racquet with a larger head has a larger sweet spot
The longest racket (length over 27”) it has more power
To help you more... The heavier racket you can hold is the one you prefer, if it tires you, go to the next lighter one. If you want a relaxing and easy racket, we prefer racquets with a larger head, but they are less accurate than smaller heads.
Afterward, we go to the materials and technologies from which the racket is made and determine its price as well. Economical are made of aluminum or a mixture of aluminum and graphite and are suitable for beginners or recreational players. The more specialized and more expensive ones are mainly made of graphite (light and soft material) or carbon fiber and are much more hand friendly (less vibration) and have a wide variety of head sizes, weights etc. they cover all levels of players and all preferences.
HANDLE SELECTION
HOW TO CHOOSE
Good tennis racket handling depends, partially, from the correct thickness of its grip. The guide below helps you choose the right grip thickness:
L0: Children under 10 years
L1 (4 1/8 ) : Children 10-12 years or women with small fingers.
L2 (4 1/4) : It usually fits most women with a regular palm (the distance between the tip of the middle finger and the bottom of the palm is 16-17 from.)
L3 (4 3/8) : It usually fits most men with a normal palm (the distance between the tip of the middle finger and the base - lower part of the palm is 17.5-18.5cm.)
L4 (4 1/2) : It usually suits men with large palms or long fingers (the distance between the tip of the middle finger and the base - lower part of the palm is 19-20cm.)
If you are between two grip sizes, prefer the smaller one and add one overgrip to achieve the ideal result. A typical overgrip will increase the thickness of your grip by 130-150mm and will add around at 10gr to the total weight of the racket.
A good rule of thumb is when you grip the racket, the distance between the fingers and the bottom of the palm should be equal to the thickness of the index finger.
