If you have ever wondered what tennis rackets the pros use, then you have come to the right place as I have compiled a list of rackets endorsed and used by some of the top players on the ATP and WTA tours.
The Difference between Pro and Retail Rackets
It is important to note that pro rackets that are used by ATP and WTA players can vary greatly from the racket you buy from an online tennis shop.
This is because the pros customize their rackets by adding more weight or by adjusting the balance of the racket.
The Pros will also often use an older generation of the same tennis racket rather than the latest generation e.g. Nadal uses the Babolat AeroPro Drive Original.
The result of these differences is that a Pros racket will often play very differently from the version you can buy in shops or online.
In my own opinion, this is not a bad thing as the customized versions the pros use in the majority of cases are completely unsuitable for even advanced recreational players with some Pro players playing with rackets that weigh in over 360g strung.
It is important to get a tennis racket that suits your game rather than trying to emulate your tennis heroes.
