Work should be low, to maximize the ball speed you can get from a given effort. The rankings under the five benchmark conditions were weighted according to the amount of effort required for the best racquets under each, then summed to give the weighted sum that determined the overall rank. The predominant value was the rank under the Second Benchmark Condition (2 BC) — how much effort you need to produce a 110 mph serve with each racquet. To see the range of Work values under each of the 5 Benchmark Conditions for the 167 racquets in the survey, click here.
