Frequently Asked Questions
What tennis accessories does every player need?
At a minimum, every tennis player benefits from a quality overgrip for racquet feel, a vibration dampener for comfort, socks designed for court use, and a water bottle. More regular players should also carry spare grips, sunscreen, and a small towel for courtside use.
What is lead tape used for in tennis?
Lead tape is applied to the racquet frame to add weight in specific locations, which changes the balance, swing weight, and feel of the racquet. Adding weight at 12 o'clock increases power; at 3 and 9 o'clock improves stability. It's a popular way for advanced players to customise their frame without buying a new racquet.
Are tennis-specific socks worth buying?
Yes tennis-specific socks are designed with extra cushioning in the heel and ball of the foot, arch support, and moisture-wicking materials to reduce blister risk during long sessions. They're a worthwhile upgrade from regular athletic socks for any player who spends significant time on court.
