Troubleshooting

Reduced power on shots

Ensure strings are properly tensioned. If strings are old or worn, consider restringing. Check for any physical damage to the racquet frame.

Uncomfortable vibrations during impact

Verify grip size is appropriate for your hand. Consider adding a vibration dampener to the strings. Ensure strings are not too loose.

Slippery grip during play

Clean the existing grip with a dry cloth. If the grip is worn, consider replacing it with a new overgrip or re-gripping the handle.

Racquet feels heavy or unwieldy

Confirm you are using the correct grip size. Ensure the racquet is balanced and not damaged. For beginners, a lighter, more maneuverable racquet might be considered in the future.
