The skinny on swing weight
Article Abstract:
The stationary weight of a tennis racket differs from its weight when it is in motion. Determining the swing weight of a racket is important because weight is one of the elements, along with racquet length and balance point, that determine whether a racquet plays light or heavy. Swing weight is best measured by the Babolat Racquet Diagnostic Center.
