What is a tennis racket string called?
the strings in a tennis racquet are simply called "strings".
What part of the tennis racquet makes contact WITH the tennis ball?
When you hit a tennis ball with a tennis racquet, you want the ball to contact the sweet spot of strings.
Why isn't steel used for tennis strings?
probably because with so many strings needed in a racquet, the racquet itslef probably couldn't withstand the forces of the tension trying to pull the racquet apart! and if you made one that didnt collapse itself then it would be too heavy and cumbersome to use with agility on a tennis court! a bit like a lead balloon!!
What size tennis racquet works best?
The size of tennis racquet you choose is really a personal preference. Basically, tennis racquets come in a mid-size and oversize. The mid-size racquet has a smaller tennis face and less surface area of tennis strings. Mid-size racquets are more compact and usually lighter. They are easier to swing and move around quickly. Serve and volley type players often prefer the smaller mid-size racquet. An oversize racquet has a large surface area of tennis strings. This can make the racquet feel heavier and it is more difficult to swing the racquet around quickly. However, the "sweet" spot on the racquet is larger. The sweet spot is where you want the ball to hit your strings more maximum effectiveness. Players that hug the baseline tend to enjoy using an oversize racquet. You can always "demo" different racquets at your tennis club to see which size is best for you. Your tennis pro can also give you great reccomendations.
What does your non-hitting hand do in tennis?
Your non-hitting hand holds the tennis racquet at the throat (below the strings but above the grip), so when you are getting ready for a shot, your non-hitting hand moves the tennis racquet back so your hitting hand does not get tired of moving the racquet back and swinging at the ball.
What does prestrung racquet mean?
A tennis or other sports racquet sold at retail is technically "prestrung" (ready to use). Pre-strung means the racquet is shipped to the store already strung and that is the way you purchase it. In specialty sports stores and pro shops, you purchase the racquet, choose the strings, and have the racquet strung at the tension you request.
Is it true that having a tennis racket strung too tightly will make it harder to serve?
No this is not true. Having a racquet strung tight does have an overall effect on how the racquet plays, but to say it will make it harder to serve is simply not true. Tighter strings can reduce the power potential of a tennis racquet but if the player has superb technique he/she may need to have the racquet strung tighter in order to maintain control on their serve.
