Top 30 - June 2000
Best out of 187 Racquets

Based on racquet measurements done by technicians at the U.S. Racquet Stringers Association, published in the April 2000 issue of Racquet Tech.

The rankings under the macro criteria were weighted thus: 1.5*Elbow Safety + 0.5*Dexterity + Wrist Safety + Shoulder Safety + Efficiency. These are all excellent racquets. Expert players should disregard the Dexterity rankings, because they have the strength to wield the heavy, head-light, high swingweight racquets that score well otherwise.
