Troubleshooting
Racket feels too heavy for the player.
Ensure the player is within the recommended age range (7-8 years). If so, it might be due to the player's physical condition or grip size. Consider a lighter racket or consult a coach.
Strings break frequently.
This could be due to aggressive play or the strings being worn out. Replace the strings with a similar gauge and type, or consider a more durable string option.
Player is unable to generate enough power.
Make sure the player is using proper swing technique. Consider practicing drills to improve swing speed and power generation. Ensure the racket is the correct size for the player, and consult a coach for technique advice.
