¿Qué es la rigidez en una raqueta?

La rigidez de la raqueta es la medida que determina cuánto se dobla una raqueta cuando hace contacto con la pelota de tenis.

Cuanto más distorsiona la pelota el marco, más flexión tiene una raqueta, por lo tanto, menor es el índice de rigidez.

El punto más importante está localizado entre el mango y la cabeza de la raqueta donde se flexiona la raqueta. Al golpear, se ejerce una fuerza con el mango y la pelota hace una fuerza contraria a nosotros. 

Las calificaciones de rigidez se cotizan como un número llamado RA, esto suele ser entre 50 y 70 en la mayoría de las raquetas, el número más bajo indica una raqueta más flexible y el número más alto una raqueta más rígida.

Por lo tanto, una raqueta con clasificación RA 50 se doblará más que una raqueta en RA 70 en el momento del impacto, suponiendo que sean idénticas en todas las demás especificaciones, por lo que tienen el mismo peso, tamaño de cabeza, etc.

La medida RA es una tecnología patentada por Babolat, Wilson utiliza otra medida, algo que llamaron Índice de rigidez (SI).

¿Cómo afecta la rigidez al rendimiento de la raqueta?

La rigidez de una raqueta afecta la jugabilidad de una raqueta en tres áreas: Poder, control y comodidad.

Poder

La rigidez afecta el poder de la raqueta ya que se debe a la transferencia de energía. Cuando haces contacto con la pelota de tenis, el marco se dobla. Cuanto más flexible es una raqueta, más se dobla y más energía absorbe. Eso disminuye la potencia ya que le quita energía a la pelota.

Un cuadro más rígido se flexiona menos en el impacto, manteniendo más energía en la pelota y generando más potencia en tus golpes. Una pelota de tenis solo permanecerá en las cuerdas por una fracción de segundo, lo que no es suficiente para que la raqueta se recupere y devuelva energía a la pelota.

Control

Mientras que el poder se explica fácilmente por la física, el control es un área más subjetiva y varía de jugador a jugador.

La teoría general aquí es que cuanto más flexible sea la raqueta, más control dará porque tiene menos potencial de potencia.

¿Eso significa que un jugador que no puede encontrar la cancha debería cambiar a un marco más flexible y ver resultados instantáneos? No. El control proviene principalmente de la técnica y nivel de habilidad de los jugadores; una raqueta solo puede hacer cambios sutiles en la colocación de la pelota.

Las raquetas más rígidas son más estables en los golpes de contacto y descentrados.

Vale la pena señalar que el tipo de cuerdas que está utilizando también tiene un impacto significativo en la sensación y el control de una raqueta.

Comodidad

Debido a que se doblan y absorben más golpes al impacto, las raquetas flexibles generalmente se consideran más amigables con los brazos.

Los marcos más rígidos transmiten vibraciones más duras al brazo que golpea, y muchos los consideran un factor que contribuye a los problemas del brazo o el codo.

Número de RA Categoría Poder Controlar Comodidad
64 y menos Flexible Bajo Alto Alto
65 a 69 Medio Medio Medio Medio
70 y más Rígido Alto Bajo Bajo

  • Dear tiendadetenis.cl Administrator.

    Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – tiendadetenis.cl – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across tiendadetenis.cl, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?

  • Hi tiendadetenis.cl Owner! Eric here with a quick thought about your website tiendadetenis.cl…

    I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.

    Like yours, many of them have great content.

    But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.

    I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.

    Here’s a solution for you…

    Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.

    CLICK HERE https://advanceleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Web Visitors Into Leads now to see exactly how it works.

    It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.

    Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.

    Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.
