Racket Frame Profile (Width)

The width of the frame (Frame Profile) is one of the main factors in the stiffness or flexibility of a racket. Players who want more power should use a stiffer racket, and for better control a more flexible frame is better.

The width of the frame is a good guide to the stiffness of the racket. Most rackets have a frame profile between 19 and 30 mm measured at the throat of the racket .
