Troubleshooting
Racket feels too light/heavy for the player.
While this racket is designed for a specific age range, player strength can vary. Consider a professional racket assessment or consulting a coach for grip size or string tension adjustments, or exploring other models if the fundamental weight is unsuitable.
Strings break easily.
This can be due to normal wear and tear, hitting the ball off-center frequently, or aggressive play. Consider having the racket restrung with a more durable string or a higher tension if appropriate for the player's technique.
Reduced power or feel after some use.
Check the string tension, as it can decrease over time. If the racket has been significantly impacted or damaged, the internal construction might be compromised, though this is rare with proper care.
