Scientist Reveals Racquet Performance Myths

Ever wonder what makes a tennis racquet powerful? Or why you can put balls away with one racquet but cant seem to get the ball past the baseline with a different one?! Me too! In this episode, I chat with the founder and brains behind Tennis Warehouse University, Crawford Lindsey! He has co-authored countless papers and books about the science of tennis including "The Physics and Technology of Tennis" and "Technical Tennis," so you could say he knows a thing or two on the topic. Joining him is Jonathan Wolfe, who not only is a savvy expert on all things racquet and string related, but also is one of Crawfords closest friends since their days at the USRSA; but we really brought him in because he has a knack for breaking down the scientific jargon to make sense to the player. Join us as we define the simple science of power potential in this initial episode where we discuss the physics behind the sport of tennis.
