How to Pick the Right Racket…
For You
When trying to find the right racket for your game, there are many things to keep in mind.
First of all, you will need to be able to answer three basic questions.
- What racket do you now use?
- What would you like a new racket to do better or different?
- What style of game do you play
Knowing the answers to these questions will help narrow your search. Also, knowing the answers to these questions will help you should you do our demo program by helping us know what to and not to recommend.
The single best thing you can do to find the right racket for you is to try them. It is the only way to know for sure you are buying the racket that best fits your needs.
When trying rackets out, keep these three things in mind:
- Take your normal, natural swings. If you feel you need to over/under swing to make the racket work, you are using the wrong racket.
- Don’t try them against a ball machine only. You will be playing other people, and their inconsistent games, so hitting only on a ball machine, which shoots balls right at you, is not realistic. A ball machine can be a good way to narrow the search, but hitting against your typlical opponents will give you a real feel for how a racket hits.
- Don’t get to caught up in weight, balance, etc. Give them a try and see how they hit. Some people limit themselves drastically by only wanting to try rackets in a very, very small weight range.Try rackets that are maybe a little to heavy or light and see how they perform. You might be surprised by how well they hit.
Stop in and we will be glad to guide you though the demo process where our only goal is finding the racket that best fits YOUR game.
