Tennis Rackets That Pro WTA Players Use (Woman Tennis)
If one day you wondered what Tennis rackets the girls on WTA tour uses, you came in the right place, here I’ve put together all the search I did to find out the gear they endorse and use.
For most of then is really hard to find the exactly model of the racket since is common to paint it with other model’s color, but I tried my best to getter the most information I could through forums (mostly Tennis Warehouse Forum), videos, photos and social media.
Lots of Tennis Pros uses Pro Stocks that are rackets made with the same mold of old rackets that you can’t find anymore to buy; the racket company provides Pro Stock rackets for some of the players they have contract with.
I’ve also used all this information about the Pro’s rackets to know the size they normally use, click here to check it out and click here to my list of the rackets ATP players use.
Most Pro Tennis players add lead and silicone on their racket to increase the weight, and that’s going to be the case for most of the Pro’s I list here, if you want to know why, click here to read another article I’ve wrote.
