Tennis Equipment in general

I am a keen tennis player and I like to think that I am very good. I play for about six to eight hours per week depending on the weather. I play in competitions and have coaching sessions throughout the week. I will justify my reasons for using this tennis racket in the paragraphs that follow this one. ---Power--- This racket has a very low power rating. This means you have to generate much of your power yourself, through your technique and the natural power you posses. The benifit of have a low level of power, is that you can really strike through the ball without much fear that it will go out of the court.

I am questioning advancing technology in tennis. Has the equipment been evolved to far that the matches are really about who can use their racket the best, or how hard can you hit the ball with it going in?
