About this guide

What gear gives you

Each item adds a bonus to certain attributes such as power, control or movement.

Frequently asked questions

Is expensive gear always better?

No. Gear that fits your style matters more than price, especially on a tight budget.

Does this work in every career?

Not in exactly the same way. Playing style, age, surface preference, fitness and the current ranking can change which choice is best.

How long should I test the idea?

Use several weeks or a small tournament block so that one unusually good or bad match does not decide the conclusion.
