A lighter racket, generally under 280 grams, is very maneuverable and makes it easy to execute your swings. This is why beginners or junior players moving up to their first adult racket often fall into this weight range. The downside is that lower weight usually means less stability.
Medium-weight rackets, from roughly 285 to around 300 grams, are experienced by many players as a good balance between maneuverability and stability. Depending on experience, playing level, physical traits and swing technique, this category can suit some beginners but is especially popular with (lightly) advanced players.
Heavier rackets of 305 grams, 310 grams or more provide the most stability and the greatest potential for control and power, but are also the hardest to maneuver. Long, well-developed swings and good physical conditioning are therefore required for rackets in this weight range.
A racket's string pattern is described by the number of main and cross strings (MxC). The number of strings and how open or dense the pattern is affect the amount of power, spin potential and control.
In open patterns, the strings are spaced farther apart and can move more freely. This increases spin potential and power. With this pattern strings tend to wear out faster.
In denser patterns strings are closer together and move less freely. This reduces spin potential and power. The benefits are improved control, precision and string durability.
