The general rule of thumb is to first determine how many times per week you play tennis. The number of times you play per week should equal the number of times you have your racquet restrung each year. For example, if you generally play 3 times a week then you should have your racquet restrung 3 times per year.

What size tennis racquet works best?
The size of tennis racquet you choose is really a personal preference. Basically, tennis racquets come in a mid-size and oversize. The mid-size racquet has a smaller tennis face and less surface area of tennis strings. Mid-size racquets are more compact and usually lighter. They are easier to swing and move around quickly. Serve and volley type players often prefer the smaller mid-size racquet. An oversize racquet has a large surface area of tennis strings. This can make the racquet feel heavier and it is more difficult to swing the racquet around quickly. However, the "sweet" spot on the racquet is larger. The sweet spot is where you want the ball to hit your strings more maximum effectiveness. Players that hug the baseline tend to enjoy using an oversize racquet. You can always "demo" different racquets at your tennis club to see which size is best for you. Your tennis pro can also give you great reccomendations.
Tennis players often complain about pain in the forearm that swings the racquet What muscle is usually strained under these conditions?
The muscle that is usually strained in tennis players experiencing forearm pain is the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. This muscle helps to extend and stabilize the wrist during the racquet swing motion. Overuse or improper technique can lead to strain and pain in this muscle.
What are 5 things you would find in a tennis bag?
The answer to your question is not an easy one. Every tennis player keeps different gear in their tennis bag at all times. A once-in-a-while player might only keep their racquet and tennis balls in their bag on a regular basis, but by the time they get to the court, there will also be a cell phone, car keys, a towel and a water bottle in their bag. I weekend player may be a bit more prepared on a daily basis and might keep their racquet, tennis balls and their court shoes in their bag at all times, then when they head out to the court they will throw in a clean towel and a bottle of water (water is important when playing and it should always be found in a tennis bag). Someone who plays often, but not daily might keep their tennis racquet, balls, shoes, a clean towel and some court clothes in their bag at all times. They will probably have a larger bag than just a 3-pack racquet bag to fit everything they keep in it and all of the gear they need when they get there. The serious player will have more than five items in their bags, but assuming we accept that all of the above items are already counted for, lets look at the need for dampeners, a score keeper for times when the condition of the court is in question, extra socks, extra string, and an extra overgrip. Another thing that is a good idea to keep in your tennis bag is a small first aid kit with some tape for your fingers and some antibacterial ointment for preventative care while out there on the court.

What tennis racquet tension make you hit a ball harder?
Every tennis racquet is marked by the manufacturer with the recommended range of tensions. For example most medium sized racquets can be strung from 22Kg up to 28Kg. For maximum control the higher tensions are best. For maximum power the lower tensions are best. For a good mixture of both control and power the tension should be midway - that is 25Kg in the above example. The thickness or gauge of the string will also effect the power. A racquet tension of 25Kgs with a thin (1.20) string will produce more power than a tension of 25Kgs with a thick (1.35) string. If your average shot is falling nearer the service line than the baseline then either lower the tension 1 or 2 Kgs or use a slightly thinner string to get more shot distance. However, be warned, a thinner string is not as durable as a thicker string so it may need replacing more often. If your average shot is going off the end of the court then either increase the tension on your racquet by 1 or 2 Kgs or use a thicker string (or both) to reduce the shot distance. Developing more topspin on your shots will also bring the ball down earlier - so there are many more factors than just racquet tension and string size to consider. An oversize racquet (i.e. the head is larger) will also produce more power since the central sweet spot is larger and also the strings produce more of a trampoline effect. A heavier racquet will also produce more power but you may lose a degree of control due to the difficulty of manoeuvring the extra weight. As a generalisation a keen amateur would probably play best with a medium size racquet, a string tension of around 25Kgs, a string size of around 1.25mm, a racquet weight of around 300gm and a desire to hit topspin whenever possible. However the question "What tennis racquet tension makes you hit a ball harder?" may not be as important as "Which tennis racquet set-up will help me hit more accurately?" The last thing to mention is that the size of the grip on a tennis racquet (between 4" to 5") is crucial to hitting accurately and powerfully. Always buy a racquet with a grip that your hand can go nearly all the way round (4 1/8" or 4 1/2" for most adults). A grip that is too big will produce poor tennis and cannot be reduced. Whereas a grip that is comfortable will produce better tennis and the grip size can always be increased later if necessary.
Are Wilson tennis bags good with thermal guard and moisture guard?
The short answer is yes. Two of the most common things that shorten the life of a racquet are moisture damage and heat damage. What exactly is it that happens when a racquet is exposed to these conditions? Excessive heat causes the racquet and its strings to expand to the point of becoming deformed and unusable. Racquets are often damaged after being kept inside a car on a hot day, which can get up to 150°F/66°C. Perhaps the most common playing surface, asphalt, also gets hot enough to cause damage to racquets placed near it on a hot day. While minor amounts of moisture on the racquet probably won't cause damage, it is important to remember that racquets are not water tight, nor are they 100% moisture resistant. Moisture can collect in unsealed and unprotected areas, adding weight to the racquet and possibly causing warping. A common way moisture damage happens is when a racquet is stored with wet towels, sweaty clothes or leaky drink containers inside equipment bags. The MoistureGuard and ThermoGuard liners found in Wilson tennis bags protect racquets against this kind of damage.

Discount Tennis Equipment: Following Trends and Styles?
When shopping around for tennis apparel, gear, and equipment, it is first important to understand your skill level. The price range for tennis items has a wide gap between the cheapest and most expensive items. To save money and make the right purchase, you should give yourself an honest evaluation of your tennis game. Ultimately, there are two ways to get discounts on tennis products. The first way is to buy items that are no longer produced by the brand. The second method is to shop at online wholesaler retailers that can pass on the savings to the customers. Just like fashion clothing, tennis items often come and go with each season. For example, top brands such as Nike and Adidas design new apparel for the top professionals every few months. A sleeveless men's tennis shirt may be hot during the summer season of the professional ATP tour, but it may quickly go out of style by the end of the year. A polo style shirt with a neck collar may be the most stylish design for tennis shirts after the sleeveless shirt loses its spark. As soon as such a tennis shirt loses its popularity, it also loses its expensive price tag. Whenever a top professional player is shown wearing certain apparel , the price on such items will remain high. The same price trends go with tennis racquets. Leading brands such as Babolat, Head, Prince, Yonex, and Wilson design new racquets every year, mainly for the professional level. The world's top players often update their racquets every season, making the previous versions seem outdated. The truth is that recreational players do not need to spend over one hundred dollars on the benefits of a new improved racquet. The general trend is that a racquet that is no longer used by the world's top players usually drops in price significantly. It is easy to find out which racquet your favorite pro male or female tennis players uses. You can save a lot of money by purchasing a racquet that the player used in previous years. Keep in mind that many high quality racquets are often sold without strings, so additional money has to be spend on stringing and handle overgrip.

Fastest game between lawn tennis and table tennis?
In terms of ball speeds lawn tennis will register faster; Andy Roddick serves the ball at 155mph. The ball has a long way to pick up speed and the racquet is engineered to be able to hit the ball very fast.However, in terms of game speed, table tennis will be quicker. Games are for fewer points than in lawn tennis, so in terms of time you're looking at less time to get to a win than a professional tennis game, which can sometimes last for hours. Also you could argue the game looks quicker; given the shorter length of the table there are more hits of the ball and it goes back and forth more often.
