Thinking differently about gear

Some of us, myself included, are always trying to find the perfect racquet and setup. Getting that right to the gram and kps. Then put much effort into ending up with additional racquets that match, including the frame itself, the string jobs, the grip feel, and so on.

However, part of the fun of playing tennis can also be experiencing different gear. Just as we can appreciate multiple stadium rock bands rather than choosing one over the other, it's OK to play with different racquets!

That experience can help us
* become more versatile by forcing us to adjust
* better understand the different characteristics
* confirm and/or re-appreciate our preferred setup, and/or 
* give us insight how to tweak that a little

Or maybe find something very different that surprisingly fits us better.

I also wouldn't shy away from trying the extremes, even if just to experience the whole spectrum. While of course being conscious of and avoiding the risk of injury.

Maybe just don't do all that on matchday or leading up to it!
