Head (size) and shape of the head
Rackets have different shapes and different sizes of heads. When it comes to the shape of the head, there is no clear assessment of what shape is ideal and recommended for the appropriate group of players. Most of the heads are in the shape of a "classic egg". There are clearer classification rules for the size of the racket head. The size of the racket head is given in centimeters and / or square inches and refers to the surface area. The surface of the racket head is responsible for the force and precision of the strike.
There are three basic sizes of racket heads:
- Midsize (small) - 85-93 square inches
- Midplus (medium) – 94 – 103 square inches
- Oversize (big) – above 104 square inches
The larger the head of the racket, the greater will be the impact force. The player will therefore have to put in less of his own strength to get the ball to the other side of the court. In addition, in large-headed missiles, most of the surface is covered by the so-called "sweet spot", i.e. the central field of tension, which ensures the optimal hit of the ball. A smaller head racket hits the ball with less force, so the player has to put more of his own strength into each stroke. A small head gives a much greater ability to control the ball and hit precision.
Summarizing, it can be assumed that:
- Beginners - should pay attention to heads with a size from 660 cm2 (102 square inches)
- Intermediate people - heads of size 645-690 cm2 (100-107 square inches)
- Advanced people - individual selection, but rather, these are heads with an area 645 cm2 (100 square inches) i mniejsze.
