A racket that is too heavy will slow the player’s movements when swinging the racket. A racquet that is too light is not easy to cope with a strong incoming ball and is easy to remake. Generally speaking, the applicable range for young men is 320-330g. Middle-aged and elderly women are suitable for rackets between 300-320g. The applicable range for young women is 280-300g.
Like the weight, the size of the grip should be as comfortable as you feel. The average male player applies 4 3/8. If capacity permits, a larger one such as 4 1/2 can also be used. Suitable for women 4 1/4-4 3/8.
The outer skin on the grip is the part of the racket that comes into contact with the human body. When the skin is not good, the tempo will not be grasped well. In this case, even if you have the best racket, no matter how good your skills are, you will not be able to play. The grip leather needs to be paid attention to and replaced frequently. This is a good way to keep the grip skin in its best condition.
The area where you can hit the ball away from the center of the racket and hit the ball out is called a sweet spot in English. A racket with a large surface is easy to learn and can hit the ball even slightly off the center. The disadvantage is the lack of speed and poor control. Suitable for women, beginners and the elderly. Approximately 110-115 square inches of racket surface should be used. The small face is suitable for middle-to-advanced and young players. It is characterized by fast ball speed and good management control, but the sweet spot is small.
