    When to move up in weight

    How would you go about determining when a young teen should move from a lightweight version of a racquet to the regular weight version? (I know I can add tape rather than buy a new racquet.) Similarly, when/if would a high-level older teen want to move to the heavier or "tour" version of a...

    Radical Microgel MP as a younger junior racket

    One of the underappreciated junior rackets I think. There are very few 18x20 98 softer rackets with low swingweights around, so for a junior player it's a good introduction to 'proper' rackets. Plus points for being cheap to boot. Bought one to try myself, to get a sample of what that fuss about...

    My 10 year old plays a good game and is competitive in tournament tennis. Overall, her game is more about consistency than power. She has fast feet and a will to win. We have noted that her forehands are good but that the other kids at her level seem to have a more powerful forehand across the...
