What Head Size Should I Get?

"What head size should I get?"
We get asked this all the time. The answer has to do more about how you hit and how much or little power and control you are looking for from the racket.
Basically, the larger the head size, the more depth you will get on your shots with less effort. This is due to an increased trampoline effect from the larger stringbed. This is a good thing for those who don't hit the ball as hard and need that extra depth on their shots.
Players who hit the ball harder will benefit from a smaller head size with reduced trampoline effect. This gives them more consistency and added control.
The best way to determine which head size is best for you is to try several different ones and go with the size that gives you the best combination of power and control.

Tennis Racket Grommets....What Do They Do?

If you look closely at your tennis or racquetball rackets, most will have one thing in common. The use of grommets.
Grommets are the plastic tubes extending out from the inside of the frame that the string passes through. They are there to form a protective barrier from the sharp edge of the frame. Eventually, you will find that some of the grommets wear out and break off. This is a problem because the string will be able to rub against the frame leading to string breakage.
If some of your grommets have broken off, there are ways that we can still string your racket with some confidence in the strings holding up. Assuming that only a few grommets have broken, we can use a Teflon tubing in the holes to act as a buffer to the frame. This usually holds up well and is a good option to keep playing with your racket.
Stop in and we'll take a look at your racket and let you know what can be done to keep it playing like new.
