	Racquet Facts - Tennis
		Racquet lengths have increased over the last several years, varying from 27 inches to 28.5 inches, and seem to have recently standardized on about 27.5 inches.
		The lighter the racquet, the easier it is to maneuver, and the heaver the racquet, the more stable it is. The weight of today's tennis racquets range from about 8.5 ounces up to 13 ounces, with a trend going lighter.
		Some racquets are a consistent width from top to bottom, and other racquets vary in width from the top of the head to the bottom.

	World's Most Efficient Racquet (10/2004) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		My racquet and ball version works the same way, provided the effective mass of the racquet at the impact point is equal to the mass of the ball.
		If the racquet is too light, the forearm slows down a bit before impact but it doesn't come to a stop during the swing and it follows through after the racquet strikes the ball.
		If the racquet is heavy enough then the forearm will come to a complete stop just as the racquet is about to strike the ball, in which case all of the energy generated by the player is in the racquet and there is nothing remaining in the player's arm (Figure 1E).

	Racquet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cheap racquets are still often made of metal, but wooden racquets are no longer manufactured for the ordinary market, due to their excessive weight and cost.
		This racquet had a head size of approximately 110 square-inches and opened the door for the introduction of racquets having other non-standard head sizes such as midsize 90 square-inches and mid-plus size 95 square-inches.
		In this form of Basque pelota the racquet (called an Argentine racquet) is made of a hoop in hazel or chestnut wood, and is somewhat loosely strung.

	Racquet sport warm-up and weight training device - Patent 5286021
		Typically, for a tennis racquet, the center of gravity is located near the lower portion of the hitting surface (head) of the racquet, where the throat and head meet.
		In particular, the spring fingers pinch the racquet frame on opposite sides of the lower portion of the racquet head on the face areas of the racquet thereby securing the device on the frame near the racquet's center of gravity.
		Thus, the spring fingers 16 and 16' pinch the sports racquet 20 near the bottom of the head 23 on the racquet's face areas (when the device 10 is properly positioned), thereby securing the device 10 to the sports racquet 20 at or near the racquet's center of gravity.

		Players who use spin should string their racquets tighter, and this is not a good choice for extremely stiff racquets, due to the shock and vibration.
		Researchers soon found that, indeed, the heavier the head of a tennis racquet, the larger the sweet spot of the racquet.
		While a longer racquet may give both short and tall players an increase in power, shorter players will see a larger percentage increase power, and may see more of a benefit from using a longer racquet.

		Pro racquets usually weigh more than their retail counterparts, and often the weight, balance, swingweight, and flex are matched to the needs of the specific pro in question.
		For the racquet technician, a strung racquet includes three separate customizable components, each of which can be altered to suit the individual player.
		Racquet matching is also useful for players who use several basic configured racquets of the same make and model, but require the specifications of each racquet to be as close as possible, without dramatically changing the original playing characteristics.

	Racquet Research
		The Formulas for Racquet Performance are generalized in order that the evaluation criteria can be computed for any ball speed, racquet elasticity, etc. These formulas are general enough to be used for any eccentric impact situation, whether in tennis or elsewhere, such as golf or baseball.
		Formulas were applied, using the constants supplied by the benchmark conditions and the variable values given by measurements of the racquets, to get values under the performance criteria, then the rankings under the performance criteria were used to determine rankings under the macro criteria of Elbow Safety, Shoulder Safety, Power, and Control.
		Racquet manufacturers are invited to send accurate strung and gripped racquet data, or other information, for inclusion in future updates.

		Yes, you can dust off that racquet that you played with five years ago and give it a glorious return to the court — if it feels good in your hand and it gets your shots where (and how) you want them to go.
		When you grip the racquet comfortably (but not tightly), you should be able to touch the tip of your thumb to the top (or outermost) knuckle of your middle finger.
		Graphite-composite racquets are great for beginners as well as advanced players because stiffer racquets transmit shock and vibration to the arm and shoulders.

	Racquet Attributes - Tennis, Squash, Racquetball - Courtside Sports Ltd.
		When looking for the perfect racquet for your game try to find a racquet that is heavy enough that it feels solid and stable, yet light enough to react quickly to shots in pressure situations.
		Typically, the lighter a racquet becomes, the more necessary it is to move the balance point of the frame towards the head, to add stability and power in the racquet.
		The stiffness of a racquet is determined by the materials used to make the frame and the cross section, or profile of the racquet.

		The "pallet" (the portion of the racquet where you hold the racquet during play) is shorter on Roger's racquet.
		The bumperguard and grommet strip on Roger's racquet are slightly different on Roger's racquet, to accommodate the different spacing on the crosses.

	Tennis Racquet Manufactoring
		A tennis racquet is the important tool when playing the game of tennis because each play is focused on the swing, motion and position of the racquet.
		The Head titanium racquet, which is composed of graphite and Titanium, is also a great racquet for the advanced intermediate category (Titanium vs Liquid Metal).
		Racquets vary from player to player according to the level of skill, spin on the ball, or how hard one hits it.

		On a given side of the racquet (right or left in Figure 1) you should peel the backing off of the lead (to expose the adhesive surface) and apply the tape to the inner side of the racquet frame, so that the tape faces toward the strings.
		First, check the butt cap of your racquet to see if there is a small hole in which the head of a screw driver could be inserted.
		Only a few racquets like the Wilson Hyper ProStaff Surge 5.1 have this feature, so don't be surprised if you have to remove the grip and do it the hard way.

		These racquets are also pretty stiff and when you combine all of these characteristics, they serve to compliment a player with a slower more compact swing.
		Performance racquets designed specifically for older juniors between the ages of 11-14 are always 25 or 26 inches long and often have the same composite materials and design characteristics of the more expensive adult models.
		In game improvement racquets you often find the overall weight of the racquet is very light, but the balance of that weight is more to the top, meaning more weight is distributed in the head of the racquet (head heavy).

	Selecting the Right Tennis Racquet - Tennis Warehouse
		In most cases, these racquet models feature oversize to super-oversize heads (107-135 square inches), are lightweight (8-9.5 ounces), longer (27-29 inches) stiffer and are balanced head-heavy (or evenly balanced) to retain enough weight in the hitting zone.
		Racquets are available in lengths ranging from 27-29 inches, the legal limit for tournament play.
		In most cases, these racquets are also referred to as “player’s” racquets because they are generally more control-oriented and designed for players who provide their own power.

	Racquet Science - Kiplinger.com
		Racquets in the middle were middling -- you could never find one that would deliver both Pete Sampras muscle and John McEnroe volleys.
		Manufacturers tend to make racquets lighter (the average racquet weight is about 10.5 ounces) as they increase the head size, making them easier for less powerful players to swing.
		Two holes on the racquet frame (at the three- and nine-o'clock positions on the head) let the racquet "cup" the ball at impact.

		The racquet manufacurers frequently change their models, so by buying three now you do two things: (1) You have the extra on-hand for that critical moment when you break your racquet and (2) You can continue to enjoy the feel and familiarity of the exact racquet you have selected and practiced with.

		Although, this racquet did take more time to get used to than others I have tested, once I adjusted to it I was able to hit drive serves and lob serves with confidence.
		Sarah was impressed with the lack of vibration of the racquet.
		A few minor complaints our playtesters had were the string movement in the handle of the racquet, the need to string it at a much higher tension than normal to get a similar feel to their regular racquets, and lastly the stock grip was very poor.

	Racquet Recommendations
		I recommend that a child should move up into the next size racquet as soon as the racquet they are currently playing with is not too heavy for them.
		If a racquet is too big for a child they will have a difficult time swinging at the ball efficiently.
		Children who outgrow junior racquets and continue playing with them have a difficult time adjusting to an adult size racquet because their contact point changes so drastically.

		The weight of a racquet will also be a determining factor in how maneuverable the racquet is. Our general opinion is that a player should play with as heavy a racquet as possible.
		This measurement was widely used in matching racquets prior to the introduction of the RDC and other instruments to measure the dynamic inertia.
		This measurement is useful in comparing racquets and in matching racquets to insure the flex is the same.

	Tennis Racquet Review
		The braiding of graphite fibers is used by many racquet companies to increase the stiffness of their racquets.
		Retaining their stiffness for as long as possible is important in all racquets, but I think it's especially important in a racquet that costs as much as the Ti.S7.
		The Ti.S7 is a better racquet because of the titanium in it, but it's a good racquet because of the titanium AND all the other features Head gave it.

		The quickness of this racquet was also an advantage at net, particularly for reflex volleys and other reaction shots.
		The most notable aspect of the new Spectrum was the generous sweet spot that was friendly to off-center hits, thanks to the O-Ports that Prince puts at the 6 and 12 o'clock on the frame.
		Serves seemed to jump off the racquet with power and spin, but not so much than control was compromised.

		Most of the time I just get tired of playing with a racquet and the strings lose their tension and it doesn’t play as good as it did before.
