Don't worry about raquetresearch.com, they don't make too much sense anyway.
Buying a racket is not like going to graduate school, NO1 ranked Harvard is
certainly better than Ohio college. Most sticks on the market are pretty good.
Even you just pick up a prince Force 3 for $40 from a local sports shop, it is
pretty good most people. Work on the swings, that is more important! Once you
are on Prostaff's level, racket does matter some time. But just "some time"
right, Mike?

发帖数: 19 | 2 I think the key thing for a racket( for intermidiate to advanced player, or
serious players) is:
Heavy racket, (100% graphite is the best)
Head light (actually those hefty raqs, like Prince OS, Wilson Prostaff does
not feel heavy when u swing them, bc the head light balance)
Low Power Level
These above three will be less forgiving but definitely good for your
shoulder, elbow, and increase your game.

anyway.

Although i can get some string from my university, that is not enough for me.
I just bought a whole wheel of nylon string about 500 meters,
which is for deep sea fishing. I got this from the top 1 varsity in china.
The only difference is, i just use one piece of them in one hole.
But that guy strung his rackets with 2 pieces per hole.
So acturally, his rackets is very strange, but last really longer, around 3-5

The sweet spot is small, the grip design is the worst I ever met ( got me
blister on the thumb). The only thing now I reflect that so many people say
it is good for girls lies in the power of the racket. (precisely, i mean even
a slow and short swing can hit the ball back anyway).
A racket made in japan does not seem better at all. |

发帖数: 1389 | 6 to create a topspin you don't have to hit the top of the ball.
most of spins ( top, side, back) come from off-center hit. for example, when
you're serving a topspin, your racket moves mostly up-forwards before it
reaches the highest point when your arm and racket are straight in line,
therefore, the force transmitted to ball will be up-forward. forward force
gives the pace, upward one brings the topspin. sure, during contact the ball
sinks into the springbed,springs bite the ball and give it ext |

发帖数: 602 | 7 Even if you are not a frequent string breaker, you also should have several
rackets.
Brad Gilber suggested in his book "wining urgly" that you should at least have
3 rackets. One strung with normal tension, one tighter one looser. So if you
have some perticular control or power problem at that game, you can do a
little ajustment. |

I tried western/semi-western, but my fingers hurt the next day, maybe the
grip is too thick for me. However, using eastern, as long as I have a clear
feeling of the position of the racket, I can still hit with racket face
closed.
Using the left hand to help with changing grip is quite useful, and looks
pretty cool as well. :-) |

发帖数: 1389 | 9 that's interesting point. although i am noy sure "from fast to slow" is
referring to just service or point construction and whether it is correct
for either tennis or tabletennis, if you are speaking of serve, it is one of
the approaches neglected by tennis amateurs in developing their serves.
both pace and spin need racket speed. when you can not improve the racket
speed anymore, you have to mix pace and spin, disguise and place the ball
well. some friends always want to improve the pace and se |

发帖数: 1632 | 10 Most pros today are still using old tennis rackets paintjobed to resemble
whatever latest model their sponsor is trying to sell to their viewers.
Federer for the longest time used the PS 6.0 85 - made famous by Sampras.
He later switched to a 90" model and eventually Wilson adopted the K90 based
on his specs -- which is about as traditional as you can get. This is
repeated with other pros. It's also very well documented that Joker's

But I switched to use thinner mains (18 poly), and it felt absolutely
fantastic. I have a reel of 17 poly that I will use to string on my other

Definitely a good racket for serving as well (the mid one anyway - i never

what she uses.
Once she has built some power, and starts to play very often, and actually
develops a style. OK, now maybe think about how to tailor her equipment to
her particular style of game. Also, racket is just 50% of the equation -
your STRING selection is just as important. |

发帖数: 1632 | 22 Well it's just a misconception that changing racket is the only significant
way to alter you game... The truth is that changing string setups can have
an even more drastic effect on the characteristics of your racket.
The same frame can feel very different with 2 different string setups. If
there aren't any "hard" limitations to the frame - like you have a 110" but
you *really* prefer a 90", or yours is really really stiff, but you love the
feel of a very soft frame - then yea, time to explore |

But my point was, even the pros have extreme variations - from low 40s to 70

It's pretty well documented that the K90 is the ACTUAL spec that Federer
uses. While most top pro do customize their racket, there's nothing secret
about it - you can customize your racket too by changing weight
distributions.

Other aspects to consider:

3) string pattern - open pattern improves the spin and accuracy
of serve
4) racket weight - this hardly has any effect, you just need to

发帖数: 507 | 33 找了一下，我觉得这个比较靠谱。
1) Swing your racket behind you, keeping your wrist angled back so that it's
roughly perpendicular to your forearm.
2) Stroke the ball from low to high. To aim the ball crosscourt, make sure
your wrist is still angled back as the racket makes contact with the ball.
3) Follow through. As you hit the ball, rotate your shoulders so that they
are square with the net and transfer your weight to your front leg. |

发帖数: 13172 | 44 在女子里算很不错了。稳定性很好，也有一定速度和旋转。不过要按标准动作来说，有
几个严重问题。推荐你看看FYB的“Server Fundamentals"系列，里面有详细分解录像
1. 没有knee bend.是要真的下蹲，同时顶胯
2. 没有trophy pose。或者trophy pose时本来应该举拍向上，而你提前把拍子背到背
后了。这样就失去了做下一个动作“Racket drop”的可能了
3. 没有racket drop，这样拍头加速度距离不够，也无法做“甩鞭”动作和snap手腕
如果你能克服这些问题，你发球的球速和旋转可以提高很多。
