Introduction. Historically, biomechanics research has examined discrete kinematics, however there is now a general appreciation that tennis racket weight, size and sweet-spot vibration play equally important roles in the execution of assorted movement skills in youth players. Objective. The aim of this paper was to determine if young tennis players can accurately perform a tennis serve with altered forms of their preferred rackets. Materials and Methods. The participants in this study were young tennis players (N = 12), males, with the ages between 14 and 15 years old. Results. There was a significant difference in the scores for weighted and threaded rackets for both the left-to-right and right-to-left serve directions. Conclusion. Our study managed to show that a different kind of racket can affect the serving accuracy in youth tennis players.
Keywords: tennis, accuracy, youth, equipment, serving.
