Incorrect Racket Customisation - It is Not About "Feel"

Key Points

• Too much emphasis is placed on how a racket feels rather than how it performs.
  
• Any change will feel different—better feel doesn't always equal better results.
  
• Data shows performance often improves (e.g. +5% ball speed), even if feel is initially worse.
• Players usually need 1–2 weeks to adapt to changes.
• Tennis Lab focuses on performance first, then adjusts for feel.
• Data helps athletes trust changes outside their comfort zone.
