Racquet

John Isner and Jelena Jankovic will be sharing the same Speed this season. The 6-foot-9 Isner, who routinely rocks the radar gun with serves in the 140s, and the 5-foot-9 Jankovic, a speedy baseliner who uses her serve to set up her groundstrokes, have two different body types and two different styles of play, but both will carry the same racquet in 2008 - the Prince 03 Speedport White.
 

Racquets come in all shapes and sizes.

The standard length for an adult racquet is 27 inches. A junior should use as long a racquet as she or he can comfortably handle.

If it is too small, the player will have to use excessive wrist and elbow action - which is bad for technique and the arm.

Once a junior weighs about six stone (38 kg), they are ready for an adult racquet.

Go for a light racquet; which makes it is easy to handle.

aluminium - Generally the least expensive material used to construct a frame, aluminum is best suited for players who want a flexible racquet or don't hit with enough precision or power to mind one.
 

Tinkering with the specs on your racquet can turn a good stick into a great one. The pros do it, and so should you.
