Introduction: Why Standard Advice Fails Go to any tennis shop, and the advice is almost always the same: "You are a beginner? Take 280g. You are a competitor? Take 300g." This approach relies on a social metric (your ranking) to solve a physical equation (a collision). It is fundamentally flawed. At Matcheur , we believe that a tennis racquet is not just a product; it is a counterweight system designed to manage kinetic energy. We built our ProSetup Selector based on two fun

CHAPTER 4: GEOMETRY, AERODYNAMICS & INTERFACE (THE FINAL OPTIMIZATION) 4.1. Aerodynamics: The War Against Drag (Cx) Marketing uses the term "Aerodynamic" to sell speed. The engineer sees a Drag Force equation: Fd = ½ · ρ · v² · Cd · A Where: v: Racquet velocity (Note that it is squared: a small aero gain has an exponential impact at high speed). A: Frontal area (profile thickness). Cd: Drag coefficient (related to section shape). Box Beam vs. Elliptical Section (Aero) Squ

CHAPTER 3: MASS, INERTIA & BIOMECHANICS (THE DYNAMIC EQUATION) 3.1. The Myth of Static Weight and the Racquet/Ball Couple The fundamental error of mass-market marketing is segmenting racquets by static mass (e.g., "280g for a beginner," "300g for a competitor"). This is an incomplete view that only considers the Player ↔ Racquet couple (the sensation of heaviness at rest), completely omitting the Racquet ↔ Ball couple (the collision). At impact, we are dealing with an Inela

CHAPTER 2: STRING INTERACTION & BALLISTICS (STRING PATTERN) 2.1. Beyond Standard Nomenclature (16x19 vs 18x20) The market categorizes string patterns with a simple matrix: Mains x Crosses (e.g., 16x19). This is a gross simplification that masks the mechanical reality: String Spacing / Density . Two racquets displaying "16x19" can have radically opposite behaviors. Historical Example: The Babolat AeroPro Drive (2013) had a very concentrated 16x19 pattern in the center. Modern

Introduction: Breaking the Myths Tennis is a sport of sensation, but above all, it is a sport of physics. Too often, the choice of a racquet comes down to a color, aggressive marketing, or a vague feeling during a 5-minute test.At Matcheur , we are engineers. We don't believe in magic; we believe in mechanics. This guide aims to deconstruct misconceptions and provide you with the real keys to understanding—those used by ATP technicians—how your equipment truly influences you

Strings represent more than half of what you actually feel when hitting a tennis ball.Yet, most players still choose their strings based on habit, brand reputation, or trends. MATCHEUR®  introduces a rational, measurable approach to string selection — built on real, physical data.Each model in the range is evaluated according to three key parameters: elasticity , linear density , and geometric structure .These objective values make it possible to classify strings from N°0 (th
