Tennis is one of the most technical and mental sports out there—and your racket is at the center of it all. The right setup can make your game easier, more comfortable, and even protect you from injury, while the wrong one will hold you back no matter how hard you train.

With real racket examples and a quick-reference chart, you’ll finally know which frames to explore, which to avoid, and how to match your gear to the way you actually play.
