With the huge choice of rackets available today things can get a little confusing. To help simplify the selection process, and to ensure you play with a racket best suited to your individual game, every racket has been given a Pro Direct Tennis Swing Index rating, ranging from 1- 10.

The Pro-Direct Swing Index guide (left) will help to match the right type of racket to your style of play. For example, sdvanced or progressive players with longer swings should look for rackets with a higher swing number then players with a mid length swing. Those who play with a more compact swing, with less of a take back and less of a follow through will get the best results from those rackets with lower Pro Direct Swing Index ratings.
