This is an essay on the biomechanics of tennis racquet, how the technology of a tennis racquet has evolved and how to choose the right one.

When selecting a Tennis Racquet there are many factors to take into account like, length, mass, weight, elasticity and feel. The aim of this report is to study the biomechanical principles associated with all these factors like; mass, radius, moment of inertia, ease of rotation, speed of rotation, forces, design, construction, elasticity, feel and balance. The first thing to know about a tennis racquet is that it is an extension of the arm which is …

…centre of gravity will be from your body and the more off balance you will become. You will need to have a bigger base to counter balance the great movement of your centre of gravity. Overall the best way to choose a tennis racquet is to try a few different length and weight racquets with different tension strings to find what has the best balance of length, mass, weight, elasticity and feel to suit you.
