Types of Tennis Rackets


For several years now, Attorney Louis Rubano has been a partner at Webber and Rubano. The Connecticut law firm handles more than 1,600 personal injury clients. Outside of his work as an attorney, Louis Rubano indulges in several hobbies, one of which is tennis.


Tennis is a racket game played by two individuals or two pairs of players competing with each other. The game is played in a marked area, or court, bisected by a net. Players use tennis rackets to hit a ball across the net, and score points according to the rules of the game.

Professional tennis players and varsity athletes typically play with a traditional racket. These rackets are heavier than other kinds and have a smaller head. For the casual tennis player there are better choices since traditional rackets are built for strong players looking for ball control. For instance, players with less arm strength are advised to use power rackets. Power rackets have weighted heads but they are lighter and longer. They are built to augment slow swings. On the other hand, if a player finds traditional rackets too heavy but would like to emphasize more ball control, the modern player’s racket is a good choice. These have small heads just like traditional rackets, only lighter. Finally, the most popular kind of racket is the tweener. These rackets aim to provide a player a balance of both power and control.
