Balance between power and control
The main advantage of a tear-shaped racket is that it allows for powerful shots without losing precision. Its structure is designed to provide superior power compared to round rackets, but without being as demanding as diamond-shaped ones. This makes it ideal for players looking for a versatile playing style, allowing them to easily switch between defense and offense.
Wide and elevated sweet spot
The sweet spot is the optimal hitting zone on the racket, and on tear-shaped models, it is slightly elevated from the center. This makes it easier to execute powerful shots without excessive effort. Additionally, because it has a wide sweet spot, it provides a greater margin of error, allowing even off-center hits to maintain a good response.
Medium or medium-high balance
The balance of the racket indicates how the weight is distributed throughout its structure. In tear-shaped rackets, the balance is typically medium or medium-high, meaning the weight is concentrated in the upper part, but not as extreme as in diamond-shaped rackets. This improves stability on each shot and facilitates both volleys and control shots, providing a balanced feel in the hand.
