Need to know what parameters a tennis racket has? These parameters are as follows: price, grip comfort, weight, speed, rotation (torsion), control. The level and quality of your game directly depends on all these parameters (except for the price), and the latter have a rating scale from 0 to 10 or from 0 to 100 (depending on the manufacturer). There are also rackets with two coatings (from different sides): defensive and attacking.
Let's start with parameters that don't affect your playstyle. They are grip comfort and weight. Everything is simple and clear. The racket should fit well into your hand. With regard to weight, you should feel the racket, but there should not be a feeling that you are holding a kettlebell or a stone block, although this is individual, maybe someone will like it.
Now let's move on to the characteristics that directly influence, if not create the style of your game: control, rotation and speed. You can choose these parameters only by defining your style of play, there are only three of them: attacking, defensive and mixture. However, the mixed level of play involves the use of rackets with an attacking coating on one side and a protective coating on the other. Having determined your style, a comfortable weight for yourself and a comfortable handle for yourself, you can proceed to the selection of these three most important parameters.
Control is a fundamental parameter, necessary for both attack and defense. A high indicator of this characteristic will be useful to everyone. It depends mainly on the rubber, studs and their length on it. But this indicator is purely physically opposed to speed, since with an increase in speed, control decreases. Accordingly, this parameter should be at a sufficiently high level for the players who have chosen the side of the defense or a mixture, which will allow them to repulse sufficiently strong blows of the attacking players or control the strongly twisted blows of the defenders.
Spin - Determines how much you can spin the ball as you play. A great value of this characteristic should be in people whose style of defense or mixture, but high values will not interfere with the attacking side, if this is not to the detriment of speed.
Speed is a parameter that aggressive people love. Everything is simple here. The higher the value, the higher the speed, which means it will be harder for the opponent to hit such a ball. Be careful, because control and speed cannot be very high on the same surface, and speed without control is not very useful.
Now let's talk about the price, because this is an important parameter. If you are a beginner player, then do not chase stats. A regular racket will do just fine. If you are an amateur, then look towards the rackets a little more expensive. They can be recognized by two or three stars. If you are a professional, then you yourself know what and where to buy.
