Get a racquet with an oversized head. And don't spend more than $40. I wouldn't worry too much about head size or length, etc. It won't make a difference when you're just beginning. Focus on the grip. If you get one that's the wrong size it can lead to tennis elbow and loss of control.
The easiest way to determine if the grip is the right size is by holding the racquet in one hand and making sure that the index finger on your other hand can fit in the space between your fingers and palm. If you find a racquet that you love but it's a little too small you can always add grip tape.
Here's some more help on choosing grip size if you're interested. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/LC/Gripsize/Gripsize.html

depends how good you are, if yoYour a beginner id recommend a bigger racket that can generate more power, if ur advanced then u should get a smaller racket with more control. At most tennis shops there should be a court that you can try out rackets so that's helpful too.

Those rackets are really awesome! But... Be careful the K six-one and the K Tour are rackets used by the pros they might be your favourite pros but not everybody can use the pros rackets the way they themselves can. But otherwise I say they're good rackets. Also ask your coach, trainer or a pro for advice. Cheers

If you are talking about the head size get around 110. If its the grip size, measure from the middle of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. It usually ranges from 4 1/4'' to 4 5/8''. Whatever that meausrment is, get that grip size.

There are 3 possible answers.
1st the size of the grip is important, one that fit's well but is not too small.
2nd the size of the length of the racquet. 27" is standard. Longer racquets are usually called extended or plus, shorter ones are for youth.
3rd the size of the racquet head is important too. Larger heads like the oversize are have large sweet spots for beginners. Mid plus or smaller heads are used by more advanced players.

well if your a beginner i would suggest that u use an oversize raquet,also if the ball keeps hitting the frame of the raquet than use an oversize.
usually novice players us midplus, and also advanced players,
but the smaller the head the more control
and it also depends on which you feel better on, first start out with oversize, and slowly go down to midplus

put the end of your racket at ur fingertips and then if it ends at the inside of your elbow then it is the right size.

well; it depends how good you are; if you are developed, go with a smaller one, they usually have a little bit more power and precision
