Tennis Racquets

Author: <ADMINNICENAME>

The cardinal rule of choosing tennis racquets is to go for the light head, heavy construction. If you have doubts about the wisdom of that rule, ask Peter Sampras or Andre Agazzi. Unfortunately, vendors do not respect the rule, so most beginner tennis players come home with an ultralight weapon which eventually gives them elbow and back problems. Well, now we are telling you!
The laws of physics will explain the seemingly contradictory relationship between light head and heavy elsewhere construction which equals tennis player success. We will not go the extent of physics formulas to demonstrate the point. In simplest terms, momentum is the decisive factor in tennis effectivity, not force or energy. An illustration will clarify the point further. When pushed to the extreme, choosing an ultralight tennis racquet amounts to preferring a badminton over a tennis racquet to play great tennis. What happens when you do this?
A couple of things. First, you will look odd on the court. Second, the net construction on the racquet will give way easily. Third, your body will end up doing most of the work with the tennis racquet playing a mere supporting role in the game. This means you go home absolutely exhausted, and who knows? You might show up at the doctor’s clinic the next day with excruciating back and elbow burn.
Now you know why Andre Agassi’s Head Ti Radical weighs 2.5 ounces more than the average tennis racquet! Now consider for a brief moment how tennis equipment vendors have been selling you an ultralight tool. This explains why you will never become a Sampras or Agassi! What a deception!

Yes, four ounces less may be the culprit behind your lack of success in making it to the top echelon of the sport you love. Check it out! Unfortunately, because of this great tennis racquet conspiracy, there are only a few models which are heavy althroughout except the head part. So our advice is, when you find one, take it. Better yet, buy some!
