So we know that the vast majority of professional tennis players are using much heavier racquets than factory racquets...
I am recently making a switch to a 12 oz racquet. At first i had alot of trouble being late on ground strokes. I quickly realized the key to not being late is to always keep your racquet moving. My serve felt great because it seemed like my racquet was almost forcing me to do my form perfectly.
My forehand grip shifted downwards which is very weird. down to a FULL western. i dont know if this is due to the fact that when i swing my racquet, the energy from swinging is continuing forward much more and i cannot turn over it quite as well. it drives through the ball much more.
Anyone with experiences of playing higher level tennis 4.5 and above id appreciate your thoughts on this as what you have experienced or what you believe you must do different to hit with a heavier racquet. Please state how much you experienced playing with the heavier racquet.
Thank you
