Dexterity - Top/Bottom 30 out of 176

Top 30 / Bottom 30 for Dexterity - July 2001

The best (lowest rank number) are the easiest to wield; the worst are more tiring to weak players. Expert players, please note that many of the best racquets get low rankings on Dexterity because of their high weight and swingweight, so for you Dexterity should be disregarded. The macro criterion of Dexterity comprises Moment, Swingweight, and 0.5*Weight. The rankings under these were compiled, weighted, summed, and sorted to produce rankings under the macro criterion of Dexterity. This is a measure of how light and agile the feeling of the racquet is, before contact with the ball. Because "pick up appeal" is the top criterion for most racquet sales, and many players do not have the physical conditioning to manage the heavier racquets, this macro criterion is included. Please note that swingweight rank is based on an axis of rotation 7 cm from the butt end, not the 10 cm axis used for published swingweight specs. Low swingweight was taken to be good for Dexterity, although high swingweight is good for a dominating stroke.
