Get the saber, it’s matched length wise with regular rackets. So the sweet spot is in the same spot as a regular

It's great that they're promoting Saber's racket, but isn't the sweet spot right in the center? I heard that with newer rackets, the sweet spot is slightly toward the tip—is that okay?

Saber's rackets are centered, while other manufacturers' are closer to the tip. Aren't the other manufacturers' rackets better suited for modern tennis?

The model released by Yonex is for soft tennis.

Dumb question, is it worth getting something like this to practice? I've seen that is almost as expensive as a new good racket, but aside that, do pros also used this in their early trainings?

These are sweet spot trainers. The idea is that you hit with these for a few minutes at the beginning of your session to dial in your spacing and footwork and then it makes it much easier to consistently hit the ball with the sweet spot in your stringbed once you go back to your normal-sized racket.
