We've been in touch with the top tennis brands and kept tabs on who's swingin' with what this 2014 U.S. Open season. If you're curious about the hottest rackets on the market right now, here's one of the newest, one to look out for and a tried and true favorite among the pros.\\n\\n__Sum of Its Parts__ Choose the look, feel, and length of your choice with the new [Dunlop iDapt ](http://www.dunlopidapt.com/)racket, $199. There are four different head sizes to pick from and each has three color options to help make your end product feel unique and personalized (three parts, below left). In-store the build takes 60-seconds by a professional or you can just order online.\\n\\n__Awaiting The Score__ Want a racket worthy of the pros? Three years in the making, the [Wilson Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph](http://www.wilson.com/betterer/us/), $250 (below center; in stores in October), is the culmination of the tennis brand and 5-time U.S. Open winner Roger Federer's collaboration. The weapon is seven percent larger than the Swiss native's previous tool and therefore has a larger sweet spot (or ideal area for it to connect with the ball). It's perfect for anyone from beginner to Grand Slam champ.\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8be914b76f0f832a0ef99]||||||\\n\\n__On The Court__ Wondering where Caroline Wozniacki gets all the power behind her groundstroke? It could be in the [Babolat Aeropro Drive](http://www.babolat.us/product/tennis/racket/aeropro-drive-+-102174) racket, $199 (above right)! The more aerodynamic frame allows for 10 percent more air penetration, which produces a faster shot with more spin. The handle features the company's 1-pipe construction inside (as opposed to the usual two) for a more dynamic feel in the player's hand. (Rafa uses this bad boy, too!)\\n\\n__RELATED:__\\n\\n- [Watch Caroline Wozniacki Suffer This Awkward Mishap at the U.S. Open](http://www.self.com/flash/video/2014/08/watch-caroline-wozniacki-suffer-awkward-mishap-u-s-open/)\\n- [Tennis Lingo for Dummies](http://www.self.com/body/fitness/2014/08/us-open-2014-tennis-terms/)\\n\\nImage Credit: *1.
