I'm reading the book technical tennis and it says to reduce force on arm:
- use heavier racquet
- use head heavy racquet
- use more flexible racquet
- lower string tension
- use softer thicker grip
Now, are they saying that when comparing 2 racquets of the same weight strike an ball with the same speed, the head heavy one will impart less shock to the arm?
And I quote from the book, "It is fortunate for professionals prefer racquets that are heavy, head heavy and flexible."
I thought pros wanted heavy, head light racquets to produce higher racquet head speed to result in more topspin?
I'm abit groggy now, so I might not be making any sense, and I havn't gone through the whole book yet either.
