Overview

Most of the time people end up purchasing a racquet which is unsuitable for their level of play. It’s not because they don’t have anything to do with their money but it’s as a result of wrong ingestion of information. You’ve found yourself at the right place if you want to know how to choose a racquet because I’ve been in that place before.

Irrespective of your level or the level you’re dreaming to be, the kind of tennis racquet you wield in your game influences your results. Therefore, it’s worth researching the right racquet if you play tennis in any capacity because all tennis racquets are differently made. They all have good and bad sides which you must know before you make a purchase.

It’s my desire to share with you what I’ve gathered during my search to help you get one that you would love to play with. So, do get along because the kind of racquet you end up with, contributes to your style of play and performance.

What is Your Playing Level?

---

Besides your stature, the starting point in making the right choice is knowing your level or rating. If you’re not sure of your level, then you can use the United States Tennis Association rating system. Find it here.

In the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) under the association, beginner, intermediate and advanced level players are rated as NTRP 1.0 – 2.5, NTRP 3.0 – 4.5 and NTRP 4.5 – 7.0 respectively.

Beginner

If you’re at this level, you’ll want a racquet that will help you to be consistent in the fundamental techniques of getting the ball into the court. In this regard, a larger head size will be suitable to provide you with a bigger area where you can get maximum response from the racquet. Also, the larger head size enables you to generate more power enough for you to maintain the consistency in your fundamentals.

Among the several options available, you can start with the following racquets: Babolat Aero 112 Strung, Babolat Pure Drive 107, Babolat Pure Drive 110, Head Graphene Touch Instinct PWR Racquet, Wilson Burn 100 LS CAMO, Wilson Ultra 110 Racquet, Wilson Ultra 110, Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 Stretch OS Racquets and Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 Stretch OS.

Intermediate

At this level, you have a good amount of experience for all-around playability and that you’ll want a racquet that will enable you to intensify your secret weapon of throwing off your opponent. This could be magnifying your forehand, backhand, spin creation or serve.

The racquets I would suggest starting off your test with are Babolat Pure Aero Lite, Babolat Pure Aero, Babolat Pure Drive, Babolat Pure Strike 98 18×2, Head MicroGEL Radical Midplus, Head Graphene Touch Instinct MP, Prince Textreme Tour 100P, Prince Textreme Tour 95 and Wilson Blade 98 (16×19) Countervail.

Advanced

With your extensive experience from competitive games, you’ll want a racquet that will give you the flexibility of deciding when to hit the ball hard or when to be easy on the ball with consistency without sacrificing power. Your target is to get a string that will magnify your strength and normally, smaller head size is preferred.

I think starting with these racquets will be helpful: Babolat Pure Aero VS Tour, Babolat Pure Strike VS Tour, Volkl V-Sense 10 Mid, Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph Black, Prince Textreme Tour 95 and Babolat Pure Aero Tour.

How Do I Choose Then? The Guide

---

Having known your level of play and the kind of properties you should expect, the following titbits will enable you to nail it down to the right racquet that will give you what you need.

1. Know the category of the racquet that meets your performance expectation

---

Whether you’re changing your current racquet or making a purchase for the first time, you should have a basis to make a choice of the kind of the tennis racquet you want. It could be that you’re seeking a perfect blend of power, control, comfort or varying degrees of these three. In any case, these three main categories should help you out:

Game Improvement or Power Racquets: These racquets are mostly for players at the beginning level and intermediate level who seek power and want to polish up their discovered area of strengths as well as improving their weak spots. They are usually lightweight with bigger heads and longer overall length with evenly distributed weight at the hitting surface.

Examples of racquets to start with are Babolat Pure Drive 110, Wilson Triad XP5, Head MxG 5 and Volkl V-Sense 1.

Tweener Racquets: They are mostly lighter weight racquets of well-balanced feature suitable for intermediate and advanced players. It provides a perfect blend of control and power with improved manoeuvrability due to its extended length.

Some examples of these racquets are Babolat Pure Drive, Prince Textreme Warrior 100, Wilson Ultra 100, Head Graphene Touch Extreme MP and Yonex EZONE 100 (300g).

Control Racquets: They are normally heavyweight racquets with smaller heads of exceptional control at the expense of power. Professional and top-level players wield these racquets as they generate their own power.

Some examples: Volkl V-Sense 10 Mid, Prince Phantom Pro 100P, Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph Black and Yonex VCORE Pro 97 (330).

2. Choose head size depending on the level of power you want.

---

The larger the head of the racquet, the greater the power one can generate and the lesser the control. If you’re a beginner or intermediate player, a larger head size is required since that provide you with a larger hitting area to enable consistent hitting at the centre.

For advanced players, small head size is ideal to provide you with maximum control. The current range of racquet head size is 85 to 135 square inches.

3. Decide on the length that will provide you with a better manoeuverability

---

The allowable range of racquet length specified by the ruling bodies of the professional tournament is 27-29 inches. The standard or traditional length of racquet normally used is 27 inches long. In terms of power and manoeuvrability, longer racquet outperforms the traditional length racquets. For beginners and intermediate players, the standard length is ideal.

4. Choose a weight that gives you a better feel of the racquet

---

The way a racquet feels in your hand is dependent on its weight. And feel is mostly associated with vibrations generated in your hands upon ball impact on the racquet. Heavier racquets generate more power with minimum shock transmission whereas lighter weight provides you with better manoeuvrability.

The weight and balance of racquets can be categorized into:

• Heavier, head-light racquets: heavy handle with a lighter head which is good for generating more control.
• Lightweight, head-heavy racquets: lighter handle with a heavy head which is very good for manoeuvrability.

5. How Stiff do you want the frame of the racquet to be?

---

Stiffness is referred to as the degree or level of racquet frame deflection upon direct contact with the ball. You must be duly diligent in settling on the stiffness level because it affects your power, control, comfort and spin generation.

The lesser the racquet frame bend (stiffer), the more power the return ball goes with due to less absorption of energy by the racquet. However, more shock will be transmitted to the arm upon ball impact as stiffer frames are a poor absorber of vibrations. Generally, power is inversely related to control. So, when one gets more power control is sacrificed.

Flexible frames which are most preferable to advanced players who generate more power themselves provide better control over their shots. Also, flexible frames provide more spin than stiffer frames because the ball spends a few more seconds on the stringbed. Hence, stiffer frame with less bend on impact is ideal for beginner or intermediate players.

6. Select a string pattern that will add to your performance

---

There are two string pattern densities: open and closed string patterns.

Open pattern: The string bends more upon ball impact than the denser pattern. This pattern is generally suitable for topspin players because more spin can be generated as the ball stays a little while on the racquet. However, the string may not last long to break due to free movement and abrasion.

Closed(dense) pattern: The strings are closely spaced to provide improved durability and less deflection upon ball impact. If you hardly hit topspin but seek better control and want your string to last longer, this pattern is your best choice.

7. Find Your Grip Size

---

Your grip size contributes significantly to your play style development and comfort. Too Small or too big grip size requires extra muscle strength to handle the racquet well which consequently leads to tennis elbow issues. If you’re not sure of your grip size, there are two ways to measure it.

Option I

Hold out the racquet by eastern forehand grip and use your index finger of the other hand to slide through the space between your ring finger and the palm of your grip. If your index finger fits the space well, that’s your grip size. If there’s no space or space is too much, then it’s either too small or too big grip size.

If you’re to settle between these two sizes, go for the smaller one because you can adjust the grip size with an overgrip tape.

Option II

The second method is when you’re not with a racquet. Open your palm with your fingers straightened closely together. Then align a straight rule with the starting edge at the centre of your palm and measure to the tip of your ring finger.

Mostly, the grip size of adults is between 4 1/8 inches and 4 5/8 inches with 5 3/8 inches as the most common grip used by players.

Sample Guide in Choosing a Racquet With The Above Method

---

Level of Play: Beginner

Category of the racquet: Game improvement or power racquet

Head size to try: 106 – 118 square inches

Length of the racquet: Standard adult length of 27 inches

Weight and Balance: Weight of 9-10 oz of lightweight, head-heavy balance racquet.

Stiffness of racquet frame: Stiffer racquet measuring between 65 – 75

Select a string pattern: Dense or closed pattern of about 18×20

Grip Size: Use the first option described above.

Note: When you have nailed down your options with the above method, do a try test on the racquet that qualify these criteria before you finally settle on one. After that, go and rock!

Summary of Facts About Choosing Racquet

---

Free Caution!

---

Do not settle for a less quality racquet or racquet that is not suitable for your level of play because of cost. Choosing a wrong racquet can end you up in tennis injuries such as tennis elbow, arm or shoulder issues.

It’s Your Decision to Make the Choice – Last Words

---

At this point, you should be confident enough to choose a racquet for your game without anyone compelling you. Choose a racquet that will do the talking in your game because your performance and style of play is dependent on it. You can check the best brands of tennis racquet available on the market to nail down your search of racquet if you need one.

Feel free to share this post with anyone that you think it will be helpful to if it’s a great resource to you. Do well to drop your comment also if I missed something that you think will be good to add or share your experience on how you choose your tennis racquet.

Are you on the edge of choosing a tennis string but don’t know what to look out for? Or are you looking out for the property of tennis string that will give you the best value of money? If your answer is “Yes”, then you’re at the right place to find the explicit information that you need.

There are numerous strings flooding the market which make it hard to choose especially when you’re a beginner in tennis. Of a truth, even experienced players find it hard sometimes to get a suitable string for themselves. But having the fair knowledge of what makes up the content of the string and the property it should have for your skill level will be a helping hand in your selection.

In this article, I will be guiding you through the check marks needed for a string to be considered on a purchase. Money is hard to come by these days, so you don’t want to throw away the little that you have. Let’s move right to it.

The Material of Construction, The Principal determinant of Preference

The type of material used for the string forms a major part of the string’s quality. The kind of material used not only forms the bulk of the string but influences its playability as well as other properties. The wide range of strings available on the market is mostly made from nylon, polyester, aramid fibres and natural gut.

Natural Gut Based Strings – Ultimate Playability and Feel

In the history of tennis when strings had not advanced like today, it was the number one choice among professionals in the ATP and WTP tours. As strings evolved, the demand for this material type has been in recession due to its cost since the modern technology has made it possible to develop low priced strings.

However, it’s unmatched with the others in terms of its playability, exceptional feel and maximum control without trading off the power. The natural gut strings are made from cow gut or sheep intestines with some advanced technology. To ensure longevity, it’s modified to have a weatherproof coating as a means of withstanding bad weather.

You might hesitate to buy a natural gut based string due to its cost, but if you have arm problems or simply want the best string, then that’s your best choice.

Nylon Based Strings: Is It Synthetic Gut or Nylon?

It’s common to come across synthetic guts when you make mention of tennis string since the best choice is in decline because of cost. Is it a different material? No, the synthetic gut is actually a nylon string. It can be soft or hard depending on its chemical composition.

Its solid cores like synthetic gut and classic are from soft nylon compound whiles the harder ones such as Maximal or Velvet is coated to give a flexural stiffness.

During the heydays of natural guts along the history of tennis, nylon strings were found among beginner players. It was nowhere near natural gut, let alone being called a premium string. Now, its usage is on the rise among non-professional player and gradually making it to the professional tour players.

However, the modern manufacturing process of nylon strings have advanced in performance and provides a remarkable blend of playability, comfort, power and durability which is almost close to natural gut.

Polyester Based String – Designed for String Breakers

It’s the fastest growing string on the market and has become very popular among ATP players and some WTP players. It’s not known to deliver much power and outstanding feel but its development of co-polyester modules has made improvement in tension maintenance and feel making it less harsh now.

Its relatively less power generation compared to that of nylon or natural guts trades it for an exceptional spin creation. It’s a very durable string specially engineered for string breakers and players with aggressive play style.

When it comes to stringing, it’s easier in a hybrid. If you have arm issues or at a beginner level, it’s not the best choice for you. But if you want to try it, use it in a hybrid with other material strings.

Aramid Tennis Strings, Fantastic Abrasion Resistance

They are strings made from fibres which are more durable, stiffer and provide better control of high tensions on racquets. They are by far stiffer than nylon strings and mostly come as multifilament strings with some amount of nylon embeddings.

Its stiffness provides better control at the expense of power due to low deflection of racquet string bed on impact with the ball. This makes it a good option for big hitters who seek maximum control rather than more power in the game.

In stringing with aramid strings, it’s advisable to lower the tension by 10% than you would normally use. It’s not a better option for players who are at the beginner level or have problems with their arms to use on full beds. But stringing it in hybrids with natural gut or nylon at the crosses will be fine.

Under this string, you will find DuPont Kevlar fibre and Technora fibre.

Modes of String Construction – Does it Affect Performance of strings?

The way strings are manufactured contributes to the string’s performance as much as the string material does. So, the type you go in for is essential for your selection. There are:

Solid Core with One Outer Wrap: Nylon strings are popularly known by this construction. The strategic design of nylon at the centre with nicely sized and calculated alignment of wraps at the outer surface provides the benefit of improved tension maintenance and awesome feel.

Solid Core with Multiple Wraps: It has a number of wraps around the solid core and offers added property of durability as well as cushioning effect. You get a maximum feel with the racquet when you strike the ball.

Monofilament Polyester: It’s mostly used for polyester strings and offers a great deal of durability. It’s relatively less stiff than Kevlar constructed string except for its dead feel. It’s recommended for players who break their strings often.

Multifilament with No Wraps: Unlike the solid cores, this has rolls of tiny synthetic fibres clumped together to offer improved cushioning effect. It’s more comfortable than the solid core of nylon. It’s also soft and makes a good choice for players with problems with the arm but can’t afford the natural gut.

MultiCore with Wraps: It has smaller diameter bundles of microfibre core with one or more outer wraps. It’s not much different from the multifilament (no wraps) except for the improved durability.

Textured: It has a solid core with wrapping. The only difference is the embedding of filaments in the outer wraps or on the surface of the wraps. This configuration enhances the string’s spin potential.

Composites: it’s formed by blending different materials of unique properties together with the aim of maximizing them. It’s to incorporate a uniform mixture exceptional characteristic.

What Else Do I Look For?

You might be wondering why you need to know all this information just to find a right string for your racquet. Tennis string is important as the engine of a car. Most people fail to consider that until it disappoints them on the court.

Among the several grading categories, below are few to take note of:

String Gauge

It refers to the diameter of the string. The thinner the string the better its playability whiles durability is associated with its thickness. Per the naming system, the thickest is 15 and the thinnest is 19 and sometimes 20. When L is attached to the value it implies half gauge where the L means “light”.

So, a string specified as 16L means its thinner than 16 but thicker than 17. Generally, thinner strings are known to generate more spin.

String Gauges and Diameters in millimetres:

15	=	1.41 – 1.49 mm	17	=	1.20 – 1.24 mm
15L	=	1.34 – 1.40 mm	17L	=	1.16 – 1.20 mm
16	=	1.26 – 1.33 mm	18	=	1.10 – 1.16 mm
16L	=	1.22 – 1.26 mm	19	=	1.00 – 1.10 mm

Playability

This has to do with the overall quality of the string and the ease with which you unleash that in your game. In addition, it’s how fast your string snaps back to its original position after hitting a ball, that is how resilient the string is.

It’s influenced by the material of the string, its construction and gauge. Natural guts are unmatched in resilience and still continues to carry the baton. Some popular strings you can check are Babolat X-Cel, Tecnifibre NRG2, Wilson Sensation NXT and other few.

Durability

We’re easily attempted to buy things which are tagged durable. In the tennis game, durability is inversely related to playability – so, going in for a very durable one will be sacrificing playability.

Hence, a player who easily breaks strings – for example, a 16L gauge string will do himself good by switching to the 16 gauge version of that string. Strings like Babolat and other popular versions of Luxilon strings offer a reliable durability.

Tension

It’s a secret weapon to power generation and having control over your shots. Generally, more power generating racquets would have relatively loose strings (lower tension) whiles higher tension strings offer better control over shots.

For advanced players with fast, aggressive swings often need more control and thus tighter strings are helpful. However, a beginner player in which control is essential doesn’t necessarily need a high-tension string but a lower one to be able to frequently hit balls at the centre of the racquet.

You’re to note that every racquet and the recommended tension range specified by the manufacturer as result of their playtesting.

Power

As most players would like their shots to drop like bombshells (with great power), it is advisable to find your best string tension setting to get a perfect blend of power and control.

But if you want more power then drop your tension by a few pounds. Lower tension not only gives you more power but reduces arm injuries. That’s vibrations transmitted to your hand and elbow anytime you hit the ball.

Summary

Up to this point, you have a handful information to help you decide on what type of string to go for. Having the right information is a great resource to discovering the best string for your racquet. Let me have your comment if this article is helpful to you or if you have a question and I will be glad to get back to you.

Now that you can make a good choice, you need to know how often to replace it. Check it out here. For a more detailed information on the top rated strings to consider for your racquet, click here.

As we seek for the best strings to have on our racquets, it’s relevant to know how often to change it. It’s a concern most players have even when they’re trying a string they’ve just strung. How far can this string take me? Almost every player asks this question.

Just as you look out for the string properties that will give you the best performance, so should you keep track of it anytime you play. That’s the most effective way around it especially when you play regularly. But what if you’re not a regular player? You’ll find out soon by the time you’re at the bottom of this article.

Changing your string will depend on a number of factors which are mostly influenced by you. In this post, I will guide you through the indicators that inform you that – “change me” and why it’s necessary to restring your tennis racquet often.

Why the Need to Change Your String?

---

Tennis string, like any other product, cannot retain its original properties over a period of use. Its deterioration is initialized at the point of stringing and on the first usage on the court. That’s the more reason why the Pros change their strings after every game. That’s not you and I, right?

The moment the string is strung, its tension and elasticity begin to reduce. And string’s tension is a determinant on how much power one can generate and control you can have on the ball. So, when these are set on the decrease as you play, your performance reduces. Instead of maximizing your playing style, you begin to cash into other techniques that will enable you to offset the lost properties of the string.

Consequently, it translates to other effects like injuries and having to put in much energy than your usual style of play. At worst case, you break your racquet and that becomes an additional cost. It’s therefore, relevant to change your string when you notice a significant change in its performance.

The Old Wisdom for Restring – “Rule of Thumb”

---

Well, there’s this general rule that goes: you should restring the racquet as many times in a year as you use it in a week. This implies that if you play once in a week, replace it once a year if you play thrice in a week, restring it at least every four months and so on. This rule may be a starting point but definitely not an absolute guide for everybody. Aggressive and big hitters might even restring many times than what this rule says.

However, this may work for others but not everyone because there are several variables that go into the decision of changing your string. This includes; the level of the player, your style of play, the type of string you use, your initial string tension, how you keep your racquet between uses and others.

In reality, some string materials do quite well that you can play even years before restringing. Like me, I restring when I feel that my string is not giving me the performance I need or when my string breaks. So, my recommended guide is that you restring your racquet when the string breaks or when you’re not happy with your string’s performance – period!

Some “Change Me” Indicators

---

Restringing of a racquet is usually an exercise of less concern to players at beginner level except for the obvious case of string break. At that stage, you tend to focus more on the fundamentals of play and nothing else. It takes a while for beginner players to be sensitive to the following indicators that I have observed. But intermediate and advanced players, know their racquets well to be able to notice a change in performance during play.

Change in string appearance: It’s the easy-to-know indicator since that’s observed with the eye when the string starts to fray during play. It occurs by the constant hitting and rubbing of the ball on the string surface. When you observe that, then it’s a warning shot that your string is giving you. The fraying of string can be facilitated by improper storage of racquet and wide variations of temperature and humidity. So, you’ve got take good care of your racquet.

Diminished control level: The best feeling a player can have is to be in control of his or her game. And you can get that when the tension of your string is high. With that, you can place your shots at calculated angles that you project the balls. That makes you feel you’re on top of the game.

However, disappointment sets in when your string can no longer provide you with that needed tension. Your shots wouldn’t drop at the exact point you would want to send it. When it’s obviously not from the wind or any particular cause, then you have all the reason to believe that it’s your string which is failing you. If you find yourself in that frustration, then it’s an alert that restring has to be done.

Enforced spin generation: At a point where you put in more manpower to produce similar spins like when you first strung your racquet is an indicator for you to assess your racquet for restringing. When your strings become loose, duration of ball contact is extended which affect the amount of spin you generate. This translates into the momentum that your spins carry. The momentum reduces and that your balls reach the opponent as loosed ones.

Loss of playability: When the string loses tension and goes dead over time, you lose power as well as feel. The ability of your strings to snap back after hitting the ball reduces and eventually goes dead. As a result, vibrations upon impact which is supposed to be absorbed by the string is then translated into your arms causing discomfort.

Consequently, it leads to pain to your arms and you can no longer go further in the game. I don’t think you would regularly want to be reminded to restring by this gesture.

Final Thoughts

---

Regular restringing is a good habit to practice but it should be performance driven. Apart from string breakage, the need to restring should be based on how happy you’re with the string’s output. Other than that, general rules cannot be an absolute solution to your restring routine. The frequency of restringing varies for every player but never forget its relevance to yourself.

Your questions are welcomed or you can share how frequently you restring your racquet in the comment section below and I will be glad to connect with you. In case you want to restring and you’re confused about how to get a better string that will fit your racquet, click here.

Tennis court, a field where tennis game is played, is a rectangular grid somewhat like the table tennis platform. This field from history has undergone series of modifications from dimensions through material of construction to other factors determined by the governing bodies. However, the tennis of today has four main court types based on the surface material used to construct.

Overview of the Court Types

As stated earlier, the tennis game enjoyed by professionals and the public has the following court types:

• Clay Courts
• Grass/Lawn Courts
• Hard Courts
• Carpet Courts

Each court comes with its skill set requirements to overcome the challenges it poses to players. Tactics such as speed, agility, coordination and level of endurance of a player may vary from one court to the other. It is quite rare to find a professional player who is a master of all the tennis court types. Let delve briefly into this court types.

Clay Tennis Courts

Clay courts are the kind of courts that require much endurance and demands more strength. The clay used on the surface of the court is derived from brick, shale, stone or other aggregate of minerals loosely bound together. These source materials are crushed into smaller particles which are combined with other additives to meet standard specifications.

Under this type, comes two sub types due to the colour of the clay material namely red and green clay court. Among the grand slams, the French open is the only tournament that uses the clay court. It has been the only tournament which has maintained this court from its inception despite the modifications on the other grand slams. This makes its tournament unique. For full content of this click here.

Grass/Lawn Tennis Courts – From the Origin!

These courts are the fastest types which have come a long way with the history of tennis game. In the early stages of tennis development, it was commonly called lawn tennis court. It seems to be fading out of the system but people sometimes use it to distinguish the tennis game from table tennis.

These courts are made of grass lined in different designs which make an awesome display. It comes in different colours and types of grass used which give them unique characteristics. They are predominant in Wimbledon Championship.

Hard Tennis Courts

The name of this court type got me into thinking on the first time I heard of it. Is it a court based on difficulty level or the field on which it is played is very hard? Don’t be carried away too, it is a court classified according to the type of surface material used.

These courts come in many colours and are suitable for several styles of spin demanding less physique as compared to the clay type of courts. They are mostly constructed from synthetic materials layered on concrete. These courts are mostly used on the professional tour among the US Open and Australian Open.

Carpet Tennis Courts

What comes to mind when you hear of carpet court? Can you guess? It is a court which is similar to the normal carpet concept that you and I know. The surface material of this court is nylon, rubber or polymer which can be folded in rolls. It is sometimes referred to as indoor court by people. This can be folded into sheets and spread on any suitable surface which can be inside a room or outside on suitable ground.

One can regard it as a carry-on court because you can carry it anywhere. It also has two main types which are indoor and outdoor versions. This court has the highest injury record because of its nature and thus its use in major professional tournaments retarded in 2009 to reduce injury cases.

Indoor and Outdoor Courts – Are they types?

These terms are commonly used but are not considered as court types. They are used as a qualification to the setting of that court. Any of the main types of the court described above can either be termed as an indoor one or outdoor based on the confinement.

Tennis games played indoors are void of any environmental interruptions such as wind which can be very disturbing sometimes as compared to the outdoor ones. The court types briefly explained above can be adapted for indoor or outdoor use in any tournament depending on individual’s choice. But the most common type of the courts normally used is the hard court.

Historically, there are number of championships played in an enclosed area with different court surfaces. The Davis cup mostly use a clay court type for its matches played indoors. These courts normally have underground watering systems used for the maintenance of the court. Also, with good lighting system, the 2012 Wimbledon Championships were completed on a lawn court played indoors. Beside these, other court types have been used indoors for the following tennis games: Halle Open on grass court, London Indoor Professional Championships and World Covered Court Championships.

One of the most important tennis tournament played indoors currently is the ATP World Tour Finals. Most of the major tennis championships are played outdoors which are common to find.

What’s Your Experience on These Courts – In Conclusion

If you are a fun of tennis game, I believe you have had some experience on one or two of these types. Was the feeling the same? I remember my experience when I first played on a hard court after several training on clay tennis court. I was kind of disappointed in myself because I couldn’t really flow well for the few hours. It took me some time to get accustomed to it before I could play a smooth game. So the feeling is not the same in my opinion.

I guess you have your experience too. Do well to share yours in the comment box below and I will be glad to get back to you. If you haven’t got that experience, then I will recommend you to acquaint yourself with these posts (clay, grass, hard, carpet) to see if the feeling is the same when playing on these courts.
