- What the term professional means
For professional players like the Williams sisters, they may pay more for their rackets because they can afford the higher quality. Whether they do or whether they use items they obtain for free by doing sponsorship commercials is not known.
Most sporting goods stores will have rackets that are anywhere from $50 to $300. It means they have a professional racket for various price ranges. A racket that is cheaper may not hold up as much.
- How to choose your racket
The balance is also determined by how you swing a racket. You want to have a good swing that does not hurt your arm. If you tend to have a different style swing a heavier balance in the handle may be more appropriate to your swing.
A professional can tell you the type of swing you have and thus the type of racket to look for. From there you can look at the cost of rackets; getting the one that fits you over concern of cost.
