Question about Serena's racquet....

[danniflava]

I know that Serena Williams doesn't use a stock Wilson n3. Obviously, any professional player on the male or female tours would be using a game improvement racquet. Serena's racquet is heavier, and more stable.

Her racquet gives off a sort of formula:

Heavy racquet + 113 sq. in. head size = powerful racquet

So, my question is:

If Serena is a very erratic player, and her technique isn't the best, how does she hit MOST of her balls in when playing with a racquet like that?

Nobody has an opinion?

At first the 18 main strings and a very high tension help her a bit. But apart of this I asked myself this question already. For me her racket is one of the reasons for her sometimes huge amount of unforced errors. In my eyes she would play better if she used a racket i. e. like Agassi. And if she would lose 10 kilos

Definitely she has to lose a lot of weight :*. I agree with the other part, too. I think Serena would be better off even using the n5 Oversize (I think she's already using it anyway).

Venus and her also hit with typically a lot more spin than most women. That would obviously help her control the ball better, as opposed to the flat blasts coming off Davenport and Sharapova's racquets.
