Just post some stuff and don't spam.

For a while I thought racket technology was something used to improve grass resilience, then I understood.
I have read multiple comment threads on here and I still don’t get it… they used to hit the ball in the middle of the field now they are edging the court?
Yes, probably because the new rackets allow faster balls, so it has become too difficult to try to surprise the opponent with a short return at the net.
