Not sure if it took more skill, but it definitely made for a better viewing experience; the ball travelled more slowly with the wooden rackets, making for more volleys and more strategy. As MLB bans aluminum bats because of how they'd change the game, pro tennis should have insisted on wooden rackets. BUT I guess it's too late to go back now.

I agree with you on professional tennis. They could have made it mandatory for rackets to be made of wood or set parameters on the head size of the racket. As you stated baseball bats must be made of wood, and there are very strict guidelines on the construction of golf clubs

I learned on these decades ago and got really good on them, I got so good that the hs coach was salivating waiting for me to get to 9th grade, then during xmas vacation 1982 in 7th grade I busted my lower leg so bad I needed surgery and three casts. They kind of misaligned my bones and I had a severe limp for five years and have a slight pigeon toe, I was never able to play tennis again.
