OEM Mens Intermediate Long Tennis Racket

The racket is designed for male players at the intermediate skill level who seek a slightly longer frame to increase reach without sacrificing maneuverability. Its nominal length is 27.5 inches, measured from the butt cap to the tip of the head.

Increasing the frame length shifts the balance point toward the head, which raises swingweight and can generate more power on groundstrokes. However, the added length also increases the moment of inertia, requiring the player to adapt stroke timing. The design targets a balance point of approximately 320 mm from the butt cap, providing a head‑heavy feel that suits baseline players looking for extra depth.

String pattern is configured as 16×19, a common arrangement that offers a balance between spin potential and durability. The cross‑string spacing is optimized to maintain consistent tension across the hitting area.

The frame utilizes a high‑modulus graphite composite with a unidirectional carbon fiber layup in the throat and hoop regions to maximize stiffness while keeping weight low. A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) bumper guard is integrated at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions to protect against impact damage from court surfaces. The handle incorporates a silicone‑based dampening layer to reduce vibration transmission to the player’s wrist. Overall frame weight is targeted at 300 ± 5 grams unstrung, with a tolerance that allows for minor variations due to resin content. This combination yields a flex rating (RA) around 68, indicating a relatively stiff response suitable for intermediate players who generate moderate swing speeds.

Key dimensional and performance parameters are summarized below for quick reference. Values are typical for the standard configuration; custom adjustments are available upon request.

Material selection can be adapted to meet specific performance or cost targets. For example, a lower‑modulus graphite blend reduces weight by up to 15 g while increasing flex, suitable for players preferring a more forgiving feel. Conversely, adding a Kevlar reinforcement layer in the hoop raises impact resistance without significantly altering weight.

OEM customers can tailor several aspects of the racket to align with brand specifications or player preferences. The following list outlines the most commonly adjusted parameters.

• Frame length (27.0–28.0 in)
• Weight distribution (head‑light, even, head‑heavy)
• Grip size (4 0⁄8–4 5⁄8 in)
• String pattern (16×19, 18×20, 16×18)
• Paint finish (matte, gloss, metallic)
• Logo placement and color
• Bumper guard material (TPU, rubber, none)

The longer frame benefits players who rely on a two‑handed backhand or who prefer to hit with a closed stance, as the extra length provides additional leverage for generating racket head speed. Intermediate players often transition from beginner rackets to this size to gain more power while still maintaining control over shot placement. The design also serves as a platform for coaches who wish to demo the effects of length on swing mechanics during lessons.

Each racket undergoes a three‑stage inspection: raw material verification, in‑process dimensional checks, and final performance testing. Dimensional checks include length, width, and throat geometry measured with calibrated calipers to ±0.1 mm tolerance. Final testing measures swingweight and flex on a calibrated RDC machine, with acceptance criteria matching the target values within ±3 %.
