Does the quality of a tennis racket matter?
Compared to their wooden ancestors, modern rackets can be made longer, with larger heads, while being significantly lighter and stiffer. These characteristics mean that it is much easier to hit the ball hard and impart spin with modern equipment.
How much does racket matter in tennis?
equipment matters more the better player you are. I say equipment : racket = 30\% important, string = 70\% important. modern ‘players’ rackets all play more or less the same, I may prefer the feel of 1 frame over another, but as long as weight and balance is there (adjustable with lead etc), any frame should be fine.
Does a tennis racket make a difference?
At none. Tennis racquets influence can’t be measured by their price. In any case, if something makes a difference are the racquet’s characteristics (headsize, weight, weight balance, grip size, string pattern, beam width, materials and technology used in construction, special features, etc.)
What makes a good tennis racket?
A good racket for beginners should be lighter in weight. Heavier rackets can be a little harder to move about to begin with, as the muscles you use for tennis are still developing. A light-weight racket should feel fairly effortless to pick up and swing.
Is it worth it to buy an expensive tennis racket?
As a rule the more expensive the racket the better the string job. Less expensive rackets will likely not have great strings however if your strings feel good and you can play with them then certainly do not cut them out. Remember strings are the only thing that make contact with the ball, they are worth investing in.
Is a heavy tennis racket better?
Weight and balance Weight: A heavy racquet is more powerful, more stable and transmits less shock than a lighter racquet (all other things being equal). The extra weight of a heavy racquet helps it win the battle at contact when the stringbed collides with the ball.

Why is Babolat expensive?
On the other hand, the Babolat is made from advanced graphite, which is strong and dramatically more expensive to create. As a result, the baseline price of this tennis racquet is going to be higher.
How does the stiffness of a tennis racquet affect its power?
Without going deep into the physics of it, the reason stiffness impacts the power of the racquet is due to energy transfer. When you make contact with the tennis ball, the frame bends. The more it flexible a racquet is, the more it bends and the more energy it absorbs.
What is the average weight of a tennis racket?
The total weight of the racket! Simple as that…. With the tremendous advances in technology and use of new materials the average weight of a racket has reduced significantly over the years and this trend will probably continue. However, as a general rule: 300 grams (or 10.6 ounces) is an average weight for a racket.
Should you buy a heavy or light tennis racket?
Tennishead suggests… As you’d expect, a heavy racket in general means more power but less manoeuvrability and vice versa with a light racket. But extra weight also mean more stability, so in theory you can hit the ball harder and still control the racket.
What is the stiffness rating of a badminton racquet?
The more the ball distorts the frame, the more flex a racquet has, therefore, the lower the stiffness rating. Stiffness ratings are quoted as a number, called an RA rating. This is usually between 50 and 70 on most retail racquets.
