The Weed Story:
The original Weed racquet was developed by Thurlow “Tad” Weed in the early 1970’s. Tad had formerly enjoyed a position as placekicker for the Ohio State football team in the 1950’s, and eventually moved on to playing recreational tennis. Being a “throat hitter” he wanted a racquet with a larger hitting area, so he made one!
Weed racquets can be found at Amazon and at some tennis merchants.

I have never tried a Weed racquet but after reading your article I will definitely try it out, especially because you mentioned that these tennis racquets can be used by pros and beginners! Thanks for the info!
Demo'd one last year for a week. I'm a 4.0 player, mostly baseliner, and was fairly amazed that I could keep the ball in the court with it. Control was better than I expected, incredible spin, and didn't miss a return of serve. Would have to work a lot on my serve - but someday I'll realize I should try one of these full-time. I'm mid-50's, with limited vision and mobility; this racquet could make the game much easier for me...
