Abstract
The moments of a tennis racket are defined and the properties of the second moments are discussed. It was found that proficient tennis players can distinguish the swing weight moment of inertia of one racket from another for differences as small as 2.5%. For the polar moment, proficient players require at least a 5% difference in the moments for the rackets to be distinguishable. Since the polar moment is an order of magnitude smaller than the swing moment, players are actually inore sensitive to differences in that moment. Verf.-Referat
