Tennis racquets

Why do pros carry so many racquets?
According to Trish Faulkner's book, Pros carry a lot of racquets is because if a string breaks, a grip fails, or a tennis racquet just doesn't feel right you could always switch a racquet. Trish put up an example, that she broke 2 racquets and the third had a bad grip and she didn't have a new grip, she was gripping it uncomfortably and she lost the match. If you are a begininer then buy 2 racquets, one for yourself and another for your parthner.
There are a lot of different racquets of different sizes and shapes, but it wasn't this way forever. Before the 1960s they only had wooden racquets, and pros started designing new racquets with steel or aluminum frame. If you are under the age of eighteen, then try to earn the money,because if you earn the money you have a better chance of learning the sport for a longer time.
