Getting the most out of your racquets
Start with the handle and grip. Make sure you have the correct fit for your hand and the grip is to your liking. When you find a grip you like, use it on all your racquets.
Try adding five to eight grams of lead to the head of the racquet for more power and control.
Establish a relationship with your stringer and seek advice on finding the best string and tension for your game.
When tweaking your racquets, only change one variable at a time. For instance, when changing string, string at the same tension. Keeping the tension the same will give you a reference point to work from.
Keep a court log of the hours of good playability from a string. Note the conditions and how long the string lasts before playability starts to drop-off. If you are using a synthetic string and find playability is best right before the string breaks, then you are probably stringing too tight.
As long as you don't break strings too often, use a thin string gauge for added playability.
Try natural gut strings, even if it comprises only half of a hybrid string job. You might love the extra feel you get from gut.
Play with the loosest string tension you can still control. The more power the better.
