Racket advice
Customize your tennis racket
Each tennis racket has its own technical specificities. These are what make a racket rather powerful or precise, more or less maneuverable, more or less tolerant. Some characteristics are fixed (string pattern, frame profile, head size...) and others can be modified to match your playing style.
Expert guide
Technical advice
We can modify the following characteristics of your racket and adjust the swingweight to change the overall behavior of a racket so that it is perfectly suited to you:
- The weight of the racket : by adding lead, for example, it is possible to maintain the balance of the racket, but to add mass for more stability and ball heaviness.
- The balance of the racket : it is possible to make it more head-heavy or more handle-heavy by adding weight in a targeted manner. The more handle-heavy the balance, the more maneuverability you have; the more head-heavy it is, the more power and spin you get.
We can therefore prepare your frame to obtain more power, control, comfort, or maneuverability by adjusting the weight and balance, and thus the swingweight.
Did you know?
Racket brands have a tolerance of 5% on frame construction.
2 identical rackets can have different weights and balances. Thus, a racket advertised at 300g unstrung can weigh 309 or 294g. A balance advertised at 32cm can actually be 31cm, for example.
When purchasing 2 identical frames, most of the time, and without knowing it, you will have a different weight, swingweight, and balance. For a large number of players, the difference is not perceptible, but it is possible (in extreme cases or for demanding competitors) that 2 rackets of the same model give different playing sensations.
What can we do?
1. Offer you the same characteristics for 2 identical frames
For the purchase of 2 identical frames or more, we can prepare your frames to have the same characteristics (weight, inertia, balance)
2. Customize your frame
We work on your frame if you want more power, control, maneuverability, or comfort.
We are equipped with the latest generation Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro machine allowing us to measure the balance, mass, inertia, vertical and horizontal stiffness of your racket. We directly adjust the parameters (weight and mass) you desire on your frame to have two identical rackets. We can also adjust the weight and balance to improve certain aspects of the racket.
