What to think about when choosing the racket?
There are a variety of factors that may be important for which racket suits you best. Below are some things to keep in mind.
1. The shape of the racket
Round shape:
For most players, regardless of level, it is easier to play with a round rack. Such a shape on the rack head means that the so -called "sweet spot" is at the center on the rack head. A racket with around the racket head is often called the control rack.
Diamond shape:
A diamond -shaped racket has its sweet spot a little higher up, which gives an extra "kick" if you have a good smash. The diamond shape is best suited for advanced players.
Drip shape:
Droppform/pear/hybrid is called this shape on the racket head, which is a mixture between round shape and diamond shape. The drip shape Suitable for both medium and advanced players.
2. Weight
Most rackets for adult players weigh approx. 370-380 g and has a frame width of 38 mm. Many players play with unnecessarily heavy or misbalanced rackets.
3. Balance
Balance refers to the area of the rack head where the balance point is located. The balance can be high, i.e. Near the top of the racket head, medium or low. The closer the grip the balance point is, the easier you experience the rack head. A racket that is top heavy will be perceived as heavier to swing. Often, top heavy rackets are counted as more offensive, with more "power" versus control, as they give more weight to a smash. Diamond shaped rackets are generally top tongue while round rackets have a low center of gravity. Drop -shaped rackets are usually medium -balanced.
4. Material
The frame of paddle rackets is almost always made of carbon fiber for extra durability. The core consists of a foam rubber -like material; Eva or foam. Most of today's rackets use Eva, as Eva has better "memory properties" and is more sustainable.
