Do pros use 16×19 or 18×20?
Sales have dropped dramatically in recent years with rackets having an 18×20 pattern. Many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is polyester string. Pros found out long ago that poly in a 16×19 pattern gives you the control of a tight pattern with more power and spin. No real reason to play with 18×20 anymore.
What is the difference between 18×20 and 16×19?
16X19 will give you more spin, power, and response. 18X20 will give more control but much less spin. Also, it will feel more solid (or dead, as some would say) and wil give you less power.
