When it comes to Tennis, your racket (racquet) is critical because it’s the only piece of equipment you need to buy, other than tennis balls. Having a well balanced and powerful racket should be your focus, but you also want one that is forgiving and has spin control. Other than that, you should consider buying a racket that is endorsed by a professional, like Nadal or Roddick because their rackets typically have advanced technology. These technologies can include a lightweight graphite composition, a dampening effect for less vibration, or an aerodynamic frame design.
