Tennis Racket Help?

Ok so I have a brand new tennis racket. I've only used it once. I was wondering if I need anything for it...like those shock things or is it better to not put anything on it at all?

    yes you should use the shocks...it makes sure that when you make contact with the ball that your racket doesnt vibrate which is very important.

    A squash racket appears to have a longer handle and the head is smaller. The stringing is very similar and the tension on the strings is made to suit the individual player. The squash ball is smaller and softer than a tennis ball and can have different degrees of bounce according to the colour of the spot on the ball.

    Go out and get yourself a Prince NXG Silencer.

    That will help reduce the shock to your hand when you stroke the ball. Also since it's a brand new racquet, I would suggest always keeping some overgrip. You don't want to use and ruin the factory grip, so before you play again, put an overgrip on to save the original.

    I use this Prince Durazorb (Except in grey, not black) and would highly reccomend it.
