Tips for buying a tennis racket

The acquisition of a racquet is a decision that involves taking into account multiple parameters.

TENGOTENIS does not recommend buying tennis rackets based solely on commercial criteria or conditioned by fashion. The media pressure should not alter your decision-making ability when buying quality tennis rackets.

In TENGOTENIS we are committed to give you orientations that lead to a fundamental objective in the task of buying tennis rackets: that you enjoy your tennis as before you had never done it. The huge offer that the market provides to the player has made the racket choice little less than a hieroglyph of a very difficult solution. The keys to finding a suitable option when buying tennis rackets are found by choosing between two paths: Find a racquet that suits your game or find an instrument that is the means to change the way you play. Whatever your goal, TENGOTENIS will be at your side to advise you before buying tennis rackets.

The choice when buying the first tennis rackets

A novice player lacks references to buy tennis rackets; He does not know which racket best suits his needs. For this player TENGOTENIS proposes a simple study of his physical qualities; His height, strength and ability will be preferred. These characteristics will condition the player's choice and will determine the choice when buying tennis rackets, the main instrument in tennis practice.

It is very important to note that this first option to buy tennis rackets will be an invaluable reference for comparative purposes. From this first experience the player begins to know many things about the racket he wants to have in his hands in the future.

The choice of the second and subsequent rackets

It is essential to draw conclusions in the use of the first racket when considering the purchase of the following tennis rackets.

This will give us the keys to find the others. For TENGOTENIS, the challenge of the player is to reflect on what he wants to do with his game before buying other tennis rackets. If you want to continue with the same practice patterns, you should buy tennis rackets that fit them; If, on the other hand, you want to change the way you play, you have to find some racquets that fit the new way of doing tennis and adapting to it.

Characteristics of the racket

The different qualities of a racquet will condition our way of playing tennis. Let's break down the characteristics of the same to help you buy tennis rackets that fit your desires.

LENGTH: The standard length of a racquet is 68.5 cm. This figure is obtained by measuring it from the base of the fist to the tip of the head. A longer racket length provides greater angular velocity at the impact site. This gives the ball greater power. Also, a longer racket provides more range, so that a player will cover more track surface and reach more balls with the same effort. The long rackets also grant the possibility of generating more effects on the ball, a benefit that should be considered when buying tennis rackets. But a longer racket length also has its down side. We have talked about more power in the beating, but possibly that virtue we have valued when buying tennis rackets, penalize our ability to control the ball. To this we will add that a longer racket is more difficult to move because the weight of the racket is further from the hand. If we are unable to print the same speed of swing, the head of the racket will travel more slowly and consequently, after the impact, the ball will slow down. Lower handling will also deplete capacity in the lift. The blows close to the body will, likewise, be more complicated to manage. In TENGOTENIS we are aware that using a longer racket requires a period of adaptation after buying the longest tennis rackets. If you are able to satisfactorily solve this adjustment, the possibilities of the long rackets will improve your game in a decisive way.

FRAME AREA: The frame area is the striking surface. When buying tennis rackets, keep in mind that these offer varied areas of frame that oscillate between 585 cm2 and 780 cm2. The sweetspot or hit surface is conditioned by the frame area. It follows that tennis rackets with a larger area also have a greater sweet spot and allow a greater number of errors. When deciding to buy tennis rackets with a larger frame area, it will have longer ropes that provide a softer beating since by mechanical traction they are able to stretch more. This also provides greater power in the beating. However, those players who appreciate a dry beating, give up buying these tennis rackets to increase the frame area; Prefer rackets with smaller areas. In addition, the frame area also affects the position of the sweetspot. In small-head rackets, the hit zone tends to be higher. It is important to find out where your sweet spot is, and thus determine whether to increase the frame area when buying tennis rackets, will positively affect the way you play or not. If we move the strings transversely from their rest zone, we will see some slits in the strings on which they rest; The deeper the cracks are, the closer we will be to the sweet spot.

RIGIDITY: Stiffness or flexibility must be taken into consideration when buying tennis rackets because these characteristics will determine the power that it is able to provide. A very flexible racquet is less powerful since the frame tends to beat back at the instant of impact. Therefore, buying more rigid tennis rackets, these generate more power. Some players assume that power will take control of them. And so they choose to buy tennis rackets that are more flexible, more comfortable. The rigidity, in addition to power, confers directional control. From this it follows that buying more rigid tennis rackets, will combine power and control. However, it is true that the rigidity is a parameter that will increase the vibrations that the racket transmits to the player's arm.

WEIGHT: Weight is one of the fundamental conditions for buying tennis rackets. Determine the amplitude and speed of the swing. The heavier a racquet, the more strength we will need to move it. Heavy tennis rackets generate more power, provide greater directional control and transmit less vibrations. However, in return, they are less manageable. If we are unable to displace the racquet with the same speed as its greater weight, all the advantages that potentially offer disappear. The key is to be able to maintain the speed and amplitude of the swing increasing the weight of the racket. In TENGOTENIS we have the possibility to adjust the weight after buying the tennis rackets to each player. Customize your racquet with the help of our team of professionals.

BALANCE: The balance of a racket is determined by the distribution of weight in it. If the equilibrium point is displaced towards the opposite end of the fist, the racquet is head heavy. We will find what we familiarly know as a "head racket". If we are able to maintain the speed and amplitude of the swing, buying tennis rackets of this type generates more power because there is more mass near the zone of impact; The presence of mass will also reduce the shock, transmitting less vibrations to the tennis player's arm.

INERTIA: This concept is closely related to the weight and balance parameters that should be assessed when buying tennis rackets. We can say that it is a compendium of both. A player may have difficulty distinguishing two rackets with an identical swing weight even though the weight is radically different. The behavior of the rackets with the same swingweight will be perceived in the hand of the tennis player in a very similar way.

STRING PATTERN: This is the number of vertical and horizontal ropes that make up the sieve. The pattern will be closed if the space between strings is small and open if it is large. The pattern will condition the player's game because if it is open, the racket will generate more power, will be able to transmit more effects to the ball and will provide a feeling of comfort to the player. When buying tennis rackets, remember that the half-life of an open pattern sieve is less than that of a closed pattern.
