Abstract: Few studies have analysed the effects of the racket inertial parameters on hitting performance in young tennis players. The research aims to study the relationship between the swingweight of the racket and speed and accuracy variables, in young tennis players. Twenty-six players (13.1 ± 2.94 years) performed a forehand hitting test with three rackets of different swingweight (low, medium, and high). Ball speed and hitting accuracy were calculated using a radar, Zepp2 sensor and photogrammetry. Significant differences were found in the ball speed measured by the Zepp2, with the racket with a low swingweight producing a higher speed (p
