As a tennis player, there are many things that can be done in order to get the rackets ready for a practice or match.
It is true that every player has his/her own routines, but there are a few things that are for sure beneficial for the care of a tennis racket.
Overgrips
The first thing that we might think about when it comes to the care of a tennis racket is the overgrip. An overgrip the soft, padded, clothlike tape wrapped around the grip of a racquet. There are many different kinds of overgrips, varying on the material, the color or the thickness.
In order to be prepared before a match, it is really important to get a new overgrip. This would help with the slipperiness. When the hand gets sweetie while playing tennis, it is important to get a new overgrip. With a new overgrip, the grip and the swing will be more steady and solid.

Strings
Another important thing to think about is the strings. They are probably the most important thing when it comes to the care of a tennis racket. There are many things that can make the strings to get loose, and therefore is a part of the racket that needs a lot of attention. One of the mistakes that people make is to leave the racket outside or inside a vehicle when the temperature is too high or too low. Especially when is hot during the summer months, the rackets suffer if we leave them outside. Not only it affects the strings by getting them loose, but it also damage the frame of the racket and can cause a fracture or a big damage.
Moisture
Moisture damage is also a way to harm a tennis racket. It is not recommendable to leave a racket inside a bag full of sweaty clothes. It is important to keep the rackets away from things that are wet such are clothes or drink bottles. The best way to avoid moisture damage is also the best way to avoid heat damage: with a protective racquet bag. Just as many bags have heat-resistant linings, many also have linings to protect racquets from moisture.

If by any chance you are planning a tournament away and you need to get on a plane, you should definitely carry your racquets on board instead of checking them with other luggage. Tension loss and loss of string life are dramatically accelerated at temperatures above 90 degrees. It is also dangerous to check your rackets while travelling because it can be damage while flying due to the movement of the bags and suitcases checked by all the travelers.
Use your racket just for tennis
A racket is very useful for hitting tennis balls, yet very little else. Utilizing it as a pry bar, hammer or to carry heavy items is not the smartest thought. You should also try not to store it at the lower part of a pile of heavy things or in a vehicle trunk loaded with loose heavy things like the groceries or car tools.
A tennis racket is a very fragile and delicate thing, and therefore you should definitely go through this post and read it carefully if you want to get the best potential out of your racket!
