Choose the right Racquet
4 easy steps!
Step 1: Select Player Level
- BEGINNER (NTRP 1.5 - 2.5): Beginners typically have a slower swing speed and need additional forgiveness, so a frame with additional power is an ideal choice.
- INTERMEDIATE (NTRP 3.0 - 4.5): Intermediate players will have some power and consistency, and should look for some additional power from the frame without sacrificing control.
- ADVANCED (NTRP 4.5 - 7.0): Advanced players have more developed all around skills match experience. A frame that emphasizes control and touch is most appropriate.
Step 2: Select Racquet Type
- POWER: Power racquets offer a larger sweetspot, easy maneuverability, and some added reach. Power racquets are typically lighter and have wider, stiffer beams as well.
- COMFORT: Comfort oriented racquets will have a more forgiving sweetspot and may feature some technology specific to vibration dampening.
- CONTROL: Advanced players have more developed all around skills match experience. A frame that emphasizes control and touch is most appropriate.
- NOTE:
- HEAVIER FRAME: Provides more power, less vibration, and a larger sweetspot.
- STIFFER FRAME: Provides more power, more arm vibration, more consistent feel across stringbed, and a larger sweetspot.
- LARGER FRAME: Provides more power, more stability with less twist and torque, easier spin, and a larger sweetspot.
