By balance is meant the conditional point of the centre of gravity of the racquet, in other words, the point at which the handle and head of the racquet will have the same weight. Three options are possible: balance in the head, in the handle, neutral. The number specified in this parameter is the distance from the end of the handle to the balance point. Important clarification: balance is measured without strings!
—
In the head. This means that the head of the racquet, relatively speaking, is slightly heavier than the handle. In fact, this can provide some advantage in hitting and serving.
—
In the pen. The balance of such a racquet is in its handle, from which we can conclude that the model is more manoeuvrable and can best perform when playing under the net.
—
Neutral. The balance of this racquet is in the middle, meaning it will not provide any advantage to the player regardless of playing style.
As the weight of the racquet increases, the impact force increases, but its accuracy decreases. On the contrary, it is easier to swing
with a light rocket, but at the same time the player needs to make more effort to give the ball the desired speed.
