Troubleshooting

Racket feels unstable on impact

Ensure the racket is strung to your preferred tension. Check if the string bed is worn out, as this can affect stability. Consider if the balance point suits your swing.

Reduced power output

Verify your string tension is within the recommended range (18-20kg). Ensure you are using proper technique and follow-through. The frame's stiffness may also be a factor; consider a more flexible string if needed.

Frame makes unusual sounds

This could indicate loose strings or a potential internal issue. Have the racket inspected by a professional stringer.
