For as much as your skill, having the right or wrong racket also contribute to your performance in the court. Standard guidelines for using rackets vary according to age but factors such as physical stature and strength also matters in choosing the right racket.</p>
<p>Tennis rackets manufactured in the earlier days were mostly made of laminated wood materials and for the purpose of strings, animal guts were used and so they were generally heavy. So regardless of your choice for a particular racket, players had to use heavy rackets. However, modern rackets now comes in various weight, length, and sizes. As a result, players could now choose according to one&#8217;s requirement.</p>
<p>In principle, there are three types of tennis racket such as Power or Game Improvement Rackets, Tweener Rackets, and Control or Player Rackets. Besides, due to the importance of shapes, length, and weight in deciding the efficiency, rackets are also made available in customizable form so that you may configure according to your needs and skills.</p>
<p>There are basically three categories of a tennis racket, with several sub-categories under each category. The three categories are: Power or Game Improvement Rackets; Tweener Rackets; and Control or Player Rackets. Besides, people also have their rackets customized as per requirements of the length, size, weight, and their balancing prowess.</p>
<p>Then the Tweener tennis rackets that are sized anywhere between 27. 5 inches to 110 inches. These rackets are designed keeping in mind players having intermediate skills and so factors such as mobility and maneuverability are taken into account. These rackets, we may say are hybrids of both advanced level rackets and beginner level racket.</p>
<p>The third in the categories is the Control or Players tennis rackets, which focus on professional players. They are somewhat weighty, smaller, have balanced head, and are thinly beamed. The advantage of this type is that the smaller and balanced head of the rackets facilitate easy maneuverability and handling of the racket. Since they are smaller, they are not very powerful. And the reason also being that the players are supposed to provide the power required for an efficient stroke.</p>
<p>Ideal for professional players, Control or Players tennis rackets are heavier in weights, have smaller and balanced heads, and have thinner beams. The smaller and balanced head of this rackets offers the benefits of maneuverability and handling. They are generally low power rackets as the power is expected to be exerted by the players themselves.</p>
<p>As seen above, tennis rackets are available in various shapes, sizes, lengths, weights, and stringing patterns. Therefore, to narrow down your choices; you need to know exactly what length or head size will do for you. There are different lengths of the rackets ranging from 27 inches all the way up to 32 inches. So choose the one that&#8217;s appropriate for your stroking style and your physical stature, and your skills.</p>
<p>Keeping in mind your personal skills, stamina, and swings, you may choose the appropriate weight, length or head size. Tennis rackets generally comes in lengths that are as long as 32 inches. However, your stroking styles, stature, and preference</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After having performed thousands of sports physicals over the years, I have seen an ever increasing trend in poor posture. Often, the posture is altered before a sport is undertaken, and frequently the posture is affected by repetitive motions of a particular sport.</p>
<p>You can simply perform an assessment of your own posture by having another person observe you from behind you (six feet directly behind you). Does one shoulder look higher than the other? Does one hip look higher? Check to see if your feet are straight, is one flaring out more than the other? The knees should be in alignment as well, facing the same direction. Your head should be equally balanced, not leaning to one side. If some differences are noticed, you may have a biomechanical problem that is inhibiting your sports performance.</p>
<p>I like to use the analogy of your car being out of alignment. If your car is misaligned, your tires will wear out unevenly, you will not get optimum fuel efficiency in your car, and it will not run like it should. The same principle applies to the human body. Do you believe that your body would be more or less susceptible to injury if you were a runner and you had one hip higher than the other, which caused one leg to be an inch shorter? Running day-after-day, mile-after-mile?</p>
<p>The body will respond to the misalignment with its innate ability to compensate for its differences and will adapt to the change. However, there is an insidious process, disease starts, and so the person will not have symptoms for many years before they experience other health issues. One of the most common conditions that occur is degenerate joint disease of the spine and pelvis. The fact of the matter is, if your biomechanics were in proper working order, you would be a better, more efficient runner.</p>
<p>One of the most common comments I hear when a new patient visits the office is &#8220;I can golf fine if I take two anti inflammatories or pain pills before I golf, but after I&#8217;m done I have a lot of pain&#8221;. Do you see the point that I am trying to make? If our bodies are giving us pain or it has restricted our range of motion in some way, it is trying to tell us that something is wrong. Like your car oil light coming on to warn you that the oil is low, do you turn the light off?</p>
<p>We often treat our automobiles better than our bodies. We can thank the pharmaceutical companies and medical profession for constant bombardment in radio, print, and television advertisements. Billions of dollars are spent yearly to convince you to take that little miracle pill or potion for fast relief. They advise us to get rid of that symptom quick, ignore what the cause is. We need to take responsibility for our own health. Listen to your body; no one knows it better than yourself.</p>
<p>A pre-exercise warm up is imperative, but often disregarded. Most people want to &#8220;get right into their workout&#8221; and therefore begin their exercise regime before their muscles and ligaments have warmed up sufficiently. Without this precaution, one pre-exposes themselves to abnormal strain on their ligaments and muscular system.</p>
<p>It is even more urgent that we take a serious look at this with the looming changes in our Healthcare System. The quality will not be as good. We should open our eyes, and look to the future. Say to yourself, what if 10, 20 or 30 years from now I have (fill in the blank). What could I have done to prevent that, should I have done this or that? The time for action is now!</p>
