what does NTRP 4.5–7.0 mean for a tennis racquet?
http://www.tennis.com/yourgame/gear/racquets/babolat/babolat.aspx?id=655
here is a link of the racquet and what do people think of this racquet generally.
i want something which moves quick through the air and not too much on the wrist and good for spin any recommendations ?
i would say my rating if i was rated, i would be 4.5-5.0. aND i really like a racquet will enable me generate extreme spin and racquet speed and a racquet that will allow my wrist to bend the ball and stuff (variations of spins).
but very useful info from boss.
i tried the wilson k factor sixone team and that hardly moved through the air although it gave great feel on slice shot/volleys the ball felt like it hardly came off my racquet.
I have quite long swings
after reading the link i think im actually a 5.5 but have good potential to go higher, just need to regular practice on groundstrokes
NTRP is the National Tennis Rating Program. It rates your tennis skill level on a scale from 1.5 (complete beginner) to 7.0 (world class athlete i.e. Federer, Nadal etc).
You want you racquet to match your skill level so manufacturers typically put each racquet into brackets like you are suggesting (4.5-7.0). Using a racquet that is either too high or low for your NTRP can really hurt your game. So if you are a 3.0 using a 1.5 or a 7 will dramatically change the outcome of your stroke.
The Babolat is great but if you don’t know what NTRP is I’m guessing it’s pretty out of your league (not saying that insultingly). I’ll provide you a link where you can generally gauge your NTRP.
Without knowing your skill level it’s hard to recommend a racquet but in general terms if you are looking for spin you want a lighter racquet (<11.5oz), 27in in length, a less stiff frame and a more open string pattern (like 16x19 as opposed to 18x20).
