So, if the sweet spot were enhanced to cover a greater surface, would that result in better performance on the court? At Sergetti, we\u2019re convinced the answer is, \u201cyes!\u201d Read on to learn more about the advantages of a larger sweet spot\u2014something the legendary Roger Federer knows about himself\u2014and to discover Sergetti\u2019s innovative stringing process.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The irrefutable benefits of a larger sweet spot <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the past, Roger Federer would have never stepped onto a court without his 90-square-inch tennis racket. However, over a two-year transition period, the Swiss champion slowly discovered the benefits of playing with a 97-square-inch racket instead. According to him, the larger hitting area improved the power of his backhand swing, as cited in this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tennis.com\/pro-game\/2017\/03\/roger-federer-racquet-change-backhand-rafael-nadal-indian-wells\/64840\/\">article<\/a> published on tennis.com. What\u2019s more, when you look at the latest standings from the most recent Wimbledon tournament where Federer hit his 10,000th ace ball (and achieved a historic victory in the process), it seems the switch to a larger racket served him well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These days, professional tennis players primarily use 95- to 100-square-inch rackets with the hope of improving their margin of error. However, the sweet spot on these rackets still represents only 12% of the surface area. The good news? Thanks to Sergetti\u2019s scientifically approved stringing process, your sweet spot can increase from 12% to an impressive 70%!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The art and science of stringing a tennis racket <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Think about it: stringing a tennis racket is comparable to fine tuning a musical instrument (like a piano, for instance). To make the perfect hit (or play the right note), nothing can be left to chance. That being said, very few people are aware that standard stringing processes create uneven areas of impact along the racket\u2019s hitting surface. Conventional methods don\u2019t take into account the position of the knots, the vertical and horizontal frame distortion during stringing, the length of the strings and their exact position on the frame, the friction between strings while weaving, as well as the type of strings used, ultimately affecting the overall stability of the racket head.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The consequence? Each area of the hitting surface plays a distinctive \u201cnote\u201d, which results in a less than stellar performance. After many years of research and development, Sergetti has finally discovered <em>the<\/em> perfect tuning system to ensure that each string resonates in unison, no matter which area of the racket\u2019s surface the ball strikes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A larger sweet spot now at your fingertips <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After rigorous testing by the internationally renowned, quality assurance firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exova.com\">Exova<\/a>, our stringing process has been proven to enhance your racket\u2019s precision, comfort and stability, all while reducing torsion, shock and vibration upon impact.
