What is the difference between pro tennis rackets and recreational rackets?

Posted by admin on July 29th, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 5 Comments »

Is the quality different? Is it the way they make it? What is it? When i look in dicks sporting goods the pro rackets are more expensive then recreational rackets.

I will compare the pair.
Recreational rackets are generally lighter, have a bigger head size
Pro rackets are heavier, the head size is small(or smaller), have tighter string patterns (for example, closed), they are generally heavier
Pro rackets give you more control, but less spin and power because most pros can generate a lot or most of their own spin and power.
Like Roger Federer, his racket has a closed string pattern, is about 322 grams and has a small head size.
I hope this helps buddy =]

What age do i go from junior to adult tennis rackets?

Posted by admin on July 26th, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 6 Comments »

im 14 years old and in need of a new tennis racket. But im not sure whether to get an adult racket of a junior racket

I’ve never used a junior racquet when I started. But then again, I was 12. Kids usually start out with junior racquets until they are strong enough to carry and swing adult racquets without difficulty. I’ve seen children ages 5-6 carrying an adult racquet and practically dragging them. Now you know these kids have no business using the adult racquets. I think the best time to transition from a junior to adult racquets depends on the ability to carry and control the adult racquet with ease. Try out an adult racquet for yourself. You’ll be surprise!

Black Friday Sale for Tennis Rackets at Sport Chalet?

Posted by admin on July 23rd, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 1 Comment »

I live pretty far from a sport chalet and didn’t go on black friday. I’ve been searching for tennis rackets and on the sport chalet website they have some of the best such as babolat, wilson k-factors, etc. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how much the $150-200 rackets were on sale during this day over there.

Try Amazon Cyber Monday Deals :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FRacquet-Sports%2Fb%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D706816011%26ref_%3Damb%255Flink%255F84502591%255F15&tag=cybermonday-deals-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

How can i sell my tennis rackets?

Posted by admin on July 20th, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 5 Comments »

I have a 3 tennis racket! and i was wondering how can i sell them! I have a 2 Wilson N-Tour 95 Ncode and 1 Prince Orange OS (Davyedenko)! Do you guys know any Free web-site can i sell them? Thanks!

Well, ebay is the obvious choice, but it isn’t free to sell there. Craigslist might also work. Your best bet though, is to list them in the For Sale section of http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/
Just make sure you follow the listing guidelines given, and include pictures.

Oh, and Davydenko doesn’t use the Prince O3 Orange OS. He uses the Ozone Tour. The O3 Orange OS really wouldn’t be worth much. You may be able to get a reasonable amount for the Ncodes though, depending on their condition.

Is there any difference between the pure drive and the pure drive GT tennis rackets?

Posted by admin on July 17th, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 3 Comments »

just wanted to know because i live in N.Z but might be getting the GT tennis racket from the U.S.A but i don’t know if im ordering the GT or not

i think the difference is more to the addition of graphite/tungsten to the frame material. to my knowledge these materials increase stiffness. i’d suggest you demo both the PD and the PDGT version to find out which one suits you most.

hope this helps :)

What are tennis rackets made of?

Posted by admin on July 14th, 2010 and filed under tennis rackets | 4 Comments »

What is the frame part of a tennis racket made of? I would also appreciate it if someone could tell me the difference between the materials used to make expensive rackets compared to cheaper ones.

The racquets you buy at wal-mart are usually made of a cheap, lightweight metal alloy. These typically include titanium, and sometimes have aluminum or graphite added in smaller quantities.

Actual performance frames usually are made mostly of graphite. Other additive materials include kevlar, titanium, tungsten, fiberglass, copper, and more recently aerogel. Other stuff you might find listed would be materials specific to a brand, like liquidmetal, karophite black, and the like. There’s really no way to know that these are legit materials, but that’s another argument. The reason I listed aerogel separate from this, is that I know from experience that it is a legit material, known for being ultra-lightweight and strong.

The biggest difference between the cheap frames and the expensive ones is the material used. Some companies actually use the same molds for their cheap frames, but they use cheap materials to make them. The cheap racquets are made to fit a certain price point, where the "better" racquets are made to meet the certain specifications for the frame being made.
