While watching the Australian Open tennis championships, you might have noticed a couple of new racquets being used by the tennis pros. We have identified most of the new tennis racquets that were showcased at the beginning of the tennis season and we have highlighted them right her for you.
We start with our personal favorite tennis racquet – the Head YouTek Prestige Mid Tennis Racquet:
A great tour racquet that offers maximum touch and control with the extra stability that is ideal for serious heavy hitters. Now with YouTek™ to perfectly match every player’s individual needs. This awesome tennis racquet weighs in at 12.1 ounces (strung), 27″ long, 93 inch head size (for more power), and comes with the YouTek, and d3o technologies – The specially designed molecules in d3o™ react on different impacts within nano seconds. They stay soft during slow hits and lock together on hard strokes.
Next we move onto the Wilson SixOne Tour 90 BLX – Used by the greatest tennis player of all time (and 2010 Australian Open Champion) Roger Federer:
Tour BLX features a unique “Wilson” feel that has been enhanced with basalt fibers. Possessing the qualities that allow for thundering ground strokes and serves along with deft drop shots and volleys, the Six.One Tour BLX is the obvious choice for those who aspire to play the game like the legends of tennis. The Wilson SixOne weighs in at 12.5 ounces, 27″ long, head size coming in at 90 inch head size, and uses the BLX technology – Wilson’s new technology, BLX, has used these basalt fibers and woven them longitudinally with [K]arophite Black to create one of the most advanced composites in the industry.
Of course it takes more than just an awesome tennis racquet to play tennis, but it sure does help you out. If you have a tennis racquet and want to learn more about the game, we suggest that you start by learning the game. Getting better at the game of tennis, you have to practice as much as you possibly can – remember Practice Makes Permanent!
