no man...use a MP or larger if necessary and in the very rare case where you could possibly benefit from a move to a mid, do that after you've reached the 5.0 level or so..a Mid almost never helps anyone w. precision...it usually makes them less precise <more misshits and less depth control> . there is absolutely zero that a midsized racquet can do for you that a MP cant and you dont have any of the downsides of using a mid. i can easily say this after giving a few thousand tennis lessons. as far as the swingweight goes..that very much is an individual thing and is very much a function of technique and age rather than a function of physical size/strength

i cant tell you what she does off court, but i've hit on the court next to her practice court a couple of times and can tell you that she has a very solid detailed structured warmup procedure, cool down procedure, and workout procedure. has a great coach and physio. as i stated before, i believe her problem stems from having the yips..chasing a bad toss all around isnt a good healthy thing to do for an extended period of time
