I am 14 years old. I play for fun most of the time with my family. I am about 5'4" or 5'5". I want a good tennis racquet that is the right size. Thanks

Don't look for specific brands. A Wilson racquet is no better than a Prince or Babolat. All companys have their performance racquets and recreational racquets. You need a good recreational racquet, usually oversize, extended length and a grip size that fits. Graphite frames are usually stable and powerful. Aluminum or Titanium racquets are durable and inexpensive.

It sounds like you are a beginner or close to it. I would go onto www.tenniswarehouse.com and check some of those out. They have some cheaper ones too if you don't want to spend too much. The brand doesn't really matter, but I would stick with one of the more popular brands (head, babalot, wilson, prince). I would get a racquet of light to medium weight (anything under 11 ounces). I would also get a medium or a high powered racquet. On tennis warehouse it tells you the power level of the racquet. You have a choice between Midplus and and Oversized frame(I will translate)-midplus is a normal sized racquet head and oversized has an enlarged racquet head frame. I would stick with the midplus if I were you. So the racquet that would be good for you would probably be a
head, babalot, wilson, or prince
weight 9-10.5 ounces
med. or med-high powered racquet
midplus
If you are a beginner, I wouldn't spend a lot of money if you plan on taking tennis seriously. You'll find once you get better, you would want more of an intermediate level racquet. Good luck.

Hey so Ryan I play Tennis 5 times a week and compete in lots of tournaments. I suggest to you the K-Factor Racquets. There are a whole range of the Wilson K-factors at various different prices. I use the K-Six one team and its great. In terms of the bag you may get a bag with a racquet but you can always get a racquet and a bag all under $200.

Only you know the answer!
Don't purchase a racquet online because you won't be able to demo it first.
Instead, go to a tennis store and rent a dozen demo tennis racquets. It's generally not very expensive, and the rental fee is usually applied to your purchase.
Try standard length racquets as well as long-bodies. Try racquets with small heads as swell as large heads. Try racquets that are heavier as well as lighter. Try racquets with larger grips as well as smaller grips. Try racquets that are balanced more head-heavy as well as racquets that are balanced more handle-heavy.
In just a few short hits with each racquet you'll have your answer.

that would really depend on your style of play. If you visit any tennis racquet website, most will have a racquet wizard to help you choose the right racquet for you. You can try princetennis.com, wilsontennis.com, babolattennis.com, and so on.

a "good" tennis raquet creates many variables. It should be more like a raquet that fits your style of gameplay. For example, if your stroke is long and loopy, than you will want a raquet that contours to that type of swing. So examine yourself during gameplay. Most raquets today have swing index so that you will recognize what raquet is more to your liking. But if you want an easy answer, try either the Wilson nCode nPro Open X, or the Babolat Pure drive. Both fashionable raquets and popular. Especially the Pure drive.

Visit your local shop that specializes in tennis and talk with the sales clerk. Dont go to your Sports Check or similar type of box store, these people do not usually know much about tennis.

You should get a small grip size, its more comfortable. The best way to demo the rackets. I think a great racket for you is the PRINCE NXG GRAPHITE FRAME. Its inexpensive, very good control, good power, etc. Just try! ALso, NCODE wilson rackets are pretty popular right now.
