@kisetsushin Federer has some muscles lol. Actually he is stronger than what he looks.

@thisislaser Actually, i only mentioned Isner because of his height, but look at every one of the top ten players on the pro-tour, and look them up on tennis warehouse, it'll show their racquets and you'll notice that they're all under 13oz, some are 11oz flat. You can't buy a 13oz racquet, even mine wasn't 13 oz when i bought it. But, again, i guarantee none of these top players are playing with completely stock racquets. Also, the majority aren't mid-size either, only Federer uses a mid.

In fact, most "players" racquets are very light compared to just 10 years ago, but i highly doubt any of the top level players are using these racquets with their stock weight and balance.

I don't know very much tennis player stats, so i have no idea, but being shorter or taller doesn't make that huge of a difference in the game. You also can never tell what a pro player is actually playing with, most pro's don't just buy a set of racquets, stick an over grip on them and start playing, they will get the weight and balance exactly as they want or need to play their best. Look at Isner, his racquet is only 11.3 oz in stock form.

@kisetsushin I'm only 5'8. How many short players do you see use 13 ounce racquets on the pro tour? If I was 6'1 I'd never miss a serve. I'd be serving at a better angle. If I lost a match I'd jump into a lake filled with Piranna fish for failing.

@thisislaser

I should also mention, that 20-30% of strength is mostly in the torso and legs, hardly any of your arm's strength is required, have you seen how skinny Federer is? My arms are more muscular than his, yet he hits harder than me and with better accuracy.

@thisislaser

Have you ever actually played a game of tennis? I play with a 13.5 oz racquet and i can play using full swings with full power for literally hours and my arm barely notices. If you knew anything about a proper swing you would know that heavy racquets are actually easier to hit with than lighter ones if you have the accuracy to make full swings due to momentum, i'd estimate that roughly 20-30% of the full motion of a good swing is where the strength is used, the rest is momentum.

@kisetsushin Ha! You probably could and don't even know it. Extreme open string patterns and spaghetti strings would cause you to generate an unlimited amount of spin. The ball would always stay in.

@thisislaser

I could too, yup, definitely, uh huh.
