Power in tennis is determined by many things. Mass is probably the most important factor. More importantly, if you use the term retard to describe a person, you are pathetic. Get some class.
although i learn from watching lendls rhythm with the backhand, i think the more important lesson would be how to grip the racquet and the mental timing. always admired lendls and edbergs one handed backhand but they differ with federers in that the follow through differs.
it's funny!! i'm not a teenager now, but 4 yrs ago i used too, i started to play tennis with a prince raquet, a over size one, then i broke it and i didnt have another "new raquet" so i found a old model in my house, a dunlop from 195....the size of the head was very different from the another one, i got say that i learned to play tennis with the old one; i got change my backhand( 2 hands to one hand) . Lot of hours hitting balls to the wall would make me another perspective to play tenis. lol
@ripperduck My racquet is a 93 sqaure inch racquet, and it's not any harder to hit than a 100 square inch. I've hit with old 85 inch wooden racquets without any problems. Oversized racquets are for people with no power or hand-eye coordination. Retards in other words.
@sultanabran1 Has little to do with coordination or retards on the court or whatever other bullshit. When you have 100 square inches, you have more mass than you would with a smaller head. More strings psi, should mean more energy hitting the ball.
@ripperduck Yes I agree, sorry I didn't make my point clear. If you hit the sweet spot on any racquet, the power is almost equal. Small racquet heads have a smaller sweet spot. What I was trying to say, which I didn't do very well was, I've hit with a wooden racquet with a very small head, and I had no trouble find the sweet spot. I think people who 'need' big a racquet head are lacking in coordination. People who 'need' it, not people who use a big racquet head.
@sultanabran1 You are ignorant. While I prefer a mid (Head Prestige mid which is 89.5 sq in), players who use oversize sticks are not uncoordinated. Andre Agassi is the best example. And there were plenty of great players who grew up using the Prince Original Graphite Oversize...which is considered one of the greatest performance racquets of all time. If you disagree, post your opinion on Talk Tennis (Worldwide Tennis message board) and they will rip you a new one. Idiot.
@MagnumTX07 because world tennis message board aren't full of idiotic 14 year olds who think that wearing a new pair of shoes suddenly give them an awesome 200km/h serve. If you take message boards or forums crap as gospel then you're as much of an idiot as I am.
