Some basic concepts – a heavy racket is more powerful, more stable, and transmits less shock than a lighter racket (all other things being equal). A lighter racket is more maneuverable and thus, a player is able to swing it faster.
How long does a tennis racket last?
But assuming you don’t intentionally splinter it, a new racquet should last at least two years before you have to start worrying about performance-affecting fatigue. This two-year rule applies to club players who play two or more times a week.
What size tennis racket do I need for my height?
