How many types of rackets are there on the market?
Of course, it is not divided by star players, but there are several key indicators that determine the characteristics of a racket: weight, balance point, material, string layout, and racket surface size. As for the handle, it is decided according to the size of your palm, and the thickness of the frame, frankly don't care about it first, and wait until the time of the professional golfer.
How to choose so many indicators? It's also very simple, these indicators have a "middle" point, as the most balanced point, such as weight 300, balance point 320, beat string layout 16*19, beat face 100.
This midpoint data is suitable for "amateurs", so let's not talk about "I like it" because it's not qualified yet.
The material is also an important factor that affects the feel, of course, the lighter the material, the better, at least the full carbon material, there are also carbon rackets like YONEX that pursue high elasticity, this feel is really good, but unfortunately the signed players have not been very popular with the public.
With this "balance point" as the center point, there are three types of rackets, the center point is on the left, which is closer to the "beginner", and the racket on the right is closer to the "professional".
And then how do "amateurs" find the right racket for themselves?
In fact, the answer has already come out, which is to choose the racket on the "balance point", and the data above has already told you.
Some students may still not know "why", so I will talk about the requirements of the following indicators for technical movements and physical fitness on the left, middle and right:
Start with the weight, the heavier the weight, the more explosive the body is required, and the physical requirements are high, once you meet the physical requirements of this type of racket, you will get a faster and more stable shot.
Many people ignore the "balance point", the balance point is almost the most picky racket indicator of technical requirements, the balance point exceeds 320, the racket head is heavy, which can force the player to maintain more head stability when swinging the racket through an overweight racket. The balance point is less than 320, the most extreme is the Pro Staff RF97, the previous Sampras 85, 90, 95, are all extreme typical, this type of head is "very light", which in turn shows the flexibility of the head and the need for more explosive power to control the change of the head, which will bring out the potential of more players in high-intensity technical level confrontations. But for "amateurs", all you can feel is the frequent "can't hit the point" feeling of reduced control, and don't choose this type of racket if you can't train for a long time.
The pat string layout, that is, in the case of more than 16*19, the control will be higher, but it is rarely less than this indicator.
When the surface is less than 100, the "dessert" interval will be smaller, which is more demanding for technical motion capture desserts, but the benefit is that the power, elasticity and performance control of the dessert when it touches the ball will be better. When the racket surface is greater than 100, all the performance is completely opposite to that of less than 100, and there is no need for overly precise movements, stronger penetration, and more precise control, which are the characteristics of many "advanced" rackets. But for skilled "amateurs", choose a maximum of 97 beats, as well as 100 beats, and do not choose other beats. It is also easy for novices to get started at 100 rackets, and as the "control" increases, you can try a 97-sided racket and don't try smaller ones unless you have a long period of professional training.
