Using the concept of kinetic energy, how can you decide which tennis racket is best for you?

• By comparing the weight of different rackets

• By assessing the grip size and material

• By evaluating the racket's balance and frame stiffness in relation to kinetic energy transfer

• By picking the heaviest one you can swing the fastest.
