When new to tennis does the swing type of the racket really matter if its one off.?

Question

I have medium swing and my rackets made for long will this really affect me in the long run

Answer 1

Possibly. What it's assuming with swing speed and length is how much power you are producing.

Someone with a very short or abbreviated swing needs more power from the racquet to compensate and someone who generates a lot of power from their swing (i.e. fast and long) needs less to control shots.

Basically if your racquet head speed is fast despite having a medium swing you're ok. However, if you have a medium swing and low or medium speed you won't see the full benefits of using that racquet.

You may hit it ok but it's akin to using the wrong octane in a car or wrong golf club for the distance.
