Answer: Well, this is a preference, you might like the feel of a heavier racquet better. It says that you should swing the heaviest racquet you can handle though... because of more control and stability. But, using a lighter racquet might give you more spin potential. Roger Federer uses a very heavy racquet and Rafael Nadal uses a fairly lighter racquet. The average racquet weight is about 10.5 to 11 oz. You can find this number on the inside of the racquet's throat, or on a tennis racquet website.
