Why is it that smaller head rackets are suited for more advanced players?

Question

since smaller head rackets provide more control, wouldnt it be suitable for some beginners and such to use a racket that provides more control over power?

Answer 1

Smaller head rackets provide less of a trampoline effect (less power), and require players to supply they're own power from decent stroke mechanics.  A beginner also tend to mishit balls more than an advanced player, and generally need a bigger hitting area. Still, I think a smaller head racket could really help a beginner learn the game faster.  A more "advanced" racket forces you to supply your own power and penalizes you, when you don't.  

Answer 2

its harder to hit the ball with a smaller head racket, so beginners start with those. the downside is that they have greater wind resistance when swinging.
