Tennis Glossary

The most valuable materials for tennis rackets

• graphite, or more precisely - carbon fiber
• composite frames where the amount of graphite varies

The ideal tennis racket weight

ideal weight of tennis rackets depend on the type of play. Rackets that are less than 10oz are not recommended for adults since they produce a large amount of shock. Recommended weight for adults is between 10 and 12oz

Characteristics of powerful rackets

• head size: LARGE
• racket material and its profile should be very stiff
• powerful racket is often heavier, having more weight concentrated in the racket's head
• powerful racket is often longer

Characteristics of rackets with more control

• head size: SMALL
• racket material and its profile should be very stiff
• strings should be very tight

What is a more forgiving racket

It is a racket that transmits less shock and is more predictable on the direction of the ball rebound

What is shock

Shock in a tennis racket is the force that gets transmitted to player's arm when ball is hit. Shock from a tennis racket is often causing player injuries. Shock is less noticeable in heavier rackets and with looser strings, but also for rackets that have stiffer frame.

Vibration absorber will eliminate vibrations from a string and frame, but those vibrations have little effect on player's arm.

Sweet spot on a tennis racket

The sweet spot is the racket area where feel and power are the best accumulated. Every racket has 3 sweet spots: spot with greatest coefficient of restitution, node of the first harmonic, and spot at the center of percussion.
