Message from Tom

"Thank you for visiting the site, I think you’ll find it eye-opening. I’ve been playing tennis; teaching tennis and tweaking tennis racquets for over 32 years and never thought I’d someday own a racquet company. However, because of the current trend in light racquets, which I do not agree with, I was impelled to see if I could produce player friendly racquets at reasonable prices. I’m glad to say I’ve succeeded and that AVERY Racquets now has 3 dynamite frames. These racquets have the weight, balance, flex and stability that are essential ingredients for a great playing racquet. AVERY Racquets are built to such strict standards they’re practically hand made. I hope you get a chance to demo one and feel the difference for yourself.”

Why Choose AVERY Racquets?

"You know it seems we live in a light society, there are super thin fashion models who are very light, we have light beer, light yogurt, light running shoes, light bicycles, you name it, it seems that everything has to be light to be considered good. Well, not when it comes to tennis racquets, really a lightweight racquet is not a good idea, as pro customizers attest. The touring pros know better, they add weight when they customize their racquets. They know that a heavier racquet will crush through the ball instead of bouncing off, which makes it more comfortable on impact and more accurate. They know that you need weight to return a heavy ball with lots of pace and spin.

At this point you may be thinking, “The heavier racquets are fine for tour players, but I’m certainly not at their level.” This statement raises a question. Are the heavier racquets that work for the tour players also the better one for you? The answer is yes, as long as you have no trouble maneuvering the racquet throughout a match. Obviously, you don’t want to play with anything that is “too heavy” and tough to maneuver, but, what most players don’t realize is, that a racquet considered heavy by today’s standards, is usually easy to deal with once given a chance. And think about this, AVERY racquets are used by 12 and 14 year old girls, who are USTA nationally top 25 and sectional top 10 who never complain about too much weight, or not being able to maneuver the racquet.

I’m convinced that 90% of tennis players are playing with racquets too light, and could easily maneuver an AVERY Racquet. But today many players stay away from the so-called player frames thinking they’re too heavy for them and that they may hurt their arm. That type of thinking is a common myth that I’d like to address at this time. First of all, you’re a tennis player why shouldn’t you use a player’s racquet? Second, the myth that a heavier racquet will hurt your arm is dead wrong. The opposite is actually true; a heavier racquet protects your arm.

Let me explain, if you were in a car accident which would you rather be driving a truck or a compact? Obviously, the truck. Well the collision of a racquet and ball is similar, the heavier racquet will crush and plough through the ball and absorb the shock of that collision; therefore, the heavier racquet protects your arm against tendon and muscle tears. On the other hand, a light racquet will not crush through and absorb the shock, and the shock of that collision will transfer to your arm. It’s this trend in light racquets that has really been the cause of many of the arm injuries we see today.

So, to the uninformed a heavier racquet may hurt your arm, but to those who know the truth about racquets it’s a recognized fact that weight in a racquet is your friend, it protects your arm. And remember I’m not saying to play with a racquet that’s “too heavy”, AVERY Racquets are not “too heavy” but, they are heavy enough to provide plough through, at contact, and absorb the shock.

And arm protection is not the only advantage; think about this, what would happen if you tried to hit a hardball home run with a softball bat that is lightweight? Well, a softball bat cannot hit a hardball very far because it doesn't bring enough mass to the collision, and therefore its momentum on impact is low. The same is true in tennis, you’ll never hit a ball with the pace and spin you’re capable of with a light racquet. On the other hand when you’re holding a racquet that has some weight it enables you to hit a “heavy ball” which means you’ll hit with more pace, spin and control.

People often ask me 'Hey Tom, what does the M3 stand for?' and I tell them 'the M stands for mass (weight) and the 3 stands for emphasis because I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a racquet with some mass.' I hope you get a chance to demo an AVERY and see for yourself that a racquet with some weight makes this great game even more enjoyable."

Yours in Tennis,
