Racquet or racket?

Both spellings describe the same thing. “Racquet” is standard in American tennis writing and in most of the equipment industry; “racket” is more common in British English and in general usage. This site uses both, and the tool does not care which one you type into the search bar.

What gets rated

Eleven axes per racquet: Control (flat), Precision, Spin, Power, Feel / comfort, Stability, Maneuverability, Serve, Smash & overhead, Slice / touch, Return / blocking. Plus a difficulty rating describing how demanding the frame is to use well. Underneath sit the specifications — unstrung weight, head size, string pattern, stiffness (RA), swingweight, balance and beam width.

Where people go wrong

The most common mistake is buying on static weight. Swingweight, which describes how the mass is distributed rather than how much there is, predicts far more of what you feel through contact. The second most common is treating stiffness as a performance number rather than a comfort one: a stiff frame strung with a stiff polyester is the usual story behind a club player's sore elbow.

Balls

A setup is a frame, a string bed and a ball. The tennis ball finder rates every ball on the same kind of scale, adds the court it actually suits, and gives each one a cost per playing hour — the only ball price that means anything.
