Guide
Advanced players can generally handle a smaller sweet spot in exchange for more power or spin, since consistent technique makes the racket's extra demands less of a liability. These are often diamond-shaped rackets built from premium, firmer materials — not necessarily the most forgiving racket, but the most capable in the right hands.
