Premium Racquets
If you have a little extra to spend or you’ve refined your skills and moved past the level of a beginner, you’ll find there are four different types of premium racquets: power, control (player), tweener, and modern player’s racquets.
Power Racquets
Power racquets have larger heads than the other two types of racquets and are generally lighter (usually under 9.5 ounces). They’re often stiffer to reflect more energy to the ball when you hit and have their balance closer to the head for a higher swing weight.
Power racquets are suitable for players with compact, slow swings. If you’re a relatively small player or aren’t as physically strong as other players, you might like this kind of racquet since it helps you increase your power output.
To summarize, power racquets generally have the following attributes:
- Oversized head
- Extended length
- Stiffer frame
- Lighter construction
They make a great choice for players who are:
- Learning how to play
- Smaller in height
- Looking for power
