How does a expensive racket differ from a non expensive one?

Question

What kind of an edge do the 60 dollare rackets have over a 25 dollar one?

Answer 1

Usually weight and strength.  To make something lightweight and strong you need quality materials and quality engineering.  Compare your question with bicycles.  The cheapo is still a bike, but heavy as h**l and strangely not as strong.  The top of the line uses expensive metals that solve the lightweight and strong issue.

Don't forget you're also paying for the Brand Name.  

Answer 2

25 dollar ..... rips off, cheap. Trash, not professional. last 4 a day. 60 dollar does not break, opposite of 25 dollar one

Answer 3

Cheap racquets are for beginners as you improve you should get more expensive but not too expensive.

Answer 4

They cost more.

Answer 5

the cheaper ones aren't usually made really well, are from cheap materials, not a good name brand, are really old, or are for beginners who hardly play

the more expensive rackets are usually better made, good name brand, and are for better and more experienced players, or for those who play a lot more

Hope that helps! =D

Answer 6

the expensive one are more durable and made better so it will last longer and the cheap ones arent really made as good so they wont last as long

Answer 7

The cheaper ones are usually C items. While the expensive ones are A items. If you don't tru out or research an expensive racket then it a waste of money because you might get up not liking it because it doesn't fit your style of playing. I can tell you most rackets in the range 70-20 dollars rackets aren't really good. I'm not sure about the both cheap racket comparsion, but if you don't research you racket are try it you will regret it. Because my friend plays better with a 75 dollar racket than a 200 dollar racket.

Answer 8

The really good racquets don't have strings in them when you purchase it, and the good ones have graphite in it, come with a case, and give you just a better quality hit. If you play once a week start out with a 35 dollar one, as you advance more purchase a more expensive one, or do what I did, play with an old racquet until i was SURE i wanted to keep playing, then I invested in a nice spendy racquet :)

Answer 9

The more expensive they are, the better they will be

Answer 10

Heres my so called price guide:

Under 50: This racket is pre-strung, and it is made so that once a year you can hit a tennis ball on a court. Or if you have young children that are just beginning to learn.

Under 100: This racket is most likely pre-strung. You have probably decided to start, or have been taking lessons for a few months.You aren't looking for anything special, yet you are trying to play tennis, not swing a piece of c**p around a local court, and occasionally hit the ball.

Under 150: You are an Intermediate player, and are looking for a racket that will help you improve your game slightly.

Under 200: You are an advanced player, you know the tennis market, you know that the best rackets aren't cheap, but also aren't ridiculously expensive.

Under 300: You are either to weak to generate the power necessary for the ball to go over the net (old, or young, but good) Or you are an int. player that has a enough know how to know the rackets are out there, and think, that the power will substantially improve your game. It wont, if anything it will make it worse.
