A good tennis racquet can make all the difference in your performance and enjoyment of the game.
When shopping for a tennis racquet, decide whether you are looking for a pre-strung racquet or an unstrung racquet. Pre-strung tennis racquets are a good choice for most beginner and intermediate players. They are highly versatile and allow you to focus on the fundamentals without added complexity. Advanced players often prefer an unstrung racquet. These allow the individual to tailor the string type and tension to their swing and playing style.
It's also important to consider the size and shape of the racquet head. Oversized and mid-plus sized heads have larger sweet spots, making it easier to hit the ball with power. Smaller head sizes allow for greater control. Tear-drop shaped heads also provide a larger sweet spot. Traditional oval heads are valued for their feel and control.
Your swing style is another important factor to consider when shopping for tennis racquets. If you have a fast and long swing, you'll want to go with a racquet with a mid or mid-plus head for improved control. If you have a shorter and slower swing, an oversized racquet head may be a better choice as it can increase the power of your shot.
You will also want to make sure that the grip of the racquet, as well as the weight, offer a comfortable feel. Using grip tape that is designed to absorb sweat can help improve your overall handling during your swing.
Note: Adult racquets are sized by thickness of grip. Junior racquets are only available in one grip size.
