I agree with your coach. For me, at least at the 4.0 level, the more times I get it over, the more likely I win the point.

In regards to your question, and for me, it is all about placement. I try...

USTA 4.0 rating.

Around 4 or 5 a match playing doubles. More if playing singles.

Agree, and I think some coaches do. But I would anticipate that the coach would provide general ranges (weight, size, stiffness, etc). Then the player can try the one best suited for them.

I think coaches say that because a racquet will not materially change a player's level or game. Although it will certainly help in certain aspects, it won't change a 3.0 to a 4.0, etc. And, I think...
