Ok i really need to know bcuz im buying a racquet soon. I mean the racquets from stores are a little more expensive than a website but i wont have to pay for shipping, and i get it direct where i dont have to wait. But website racquets have more choices and sometimes cheaper even if u have to pay for the shipping. So please answers!

Online racquet purchases are cheaper but at what cost? Local tennis stores are there to help and take care of you. If your racquet breaks or if there's something wrong, they will take care of it right away. No need to ship a racquet off to the company to if their warrenty will cover it. Local tennis scores can better customize your string selection. Would you rather deal with someone face to face or email to delayed email?

well i would recomend tennis warehouse, since they let u try out racquets 2 see if u like how it feels. u only get 1 week to try different racquets out, a max of 4 at a time, n u only pay for d shipping. if u like a racquet then just buy it. anothr good thing is tht u can recieve ur purchase in 2 days, n not d usual 5 days or more

Depends on how seriously you are going to get into it. If you are really serious the store will fit to your needs and they can help you with questions. You may even be able to try out a few before you buy. If you are going to play casually or if you know your specifications, buy from a website.

Depends on what you know about racquets. I would buy a camera online, but I know quite a bit about cameras. And, i would expect to have a warranty with my purchase.

The biggest disadvantage to buying from a website is you don't get to feel the racket in your hand. Since I have played tennis and some racquetball, believe me when I say the way it feels is more important than the way it looks or the name stamped on it.

Demo a racquet from your local shot, then buy from online, they are way cheaper.

You need to go to a store to check out a racket and hold it in your hands to see if it suits you. After that, maybe you can order the one you liked over the Internet.

Try them out before buying. If u know the brand and strings, then get them online.. but u shouldnt buy something without feeling it out first. IMO

what the other person said, go to a store swing them around and get a feel for them before you buy it
