I'm a 17 year old girl who has never played tennis before, but I've played plenty of badminton and I've been very good at it, and I need help in finding a good tennis racquet for beginning tennis players who would like to eventually play seriously. If I want to play seriously, should I buy an intermediate level racquet because I'm 5'7 and I weigh roughly 105 lbs. but I'm pretty strong because I'm also a figure skater. And which companies??

Is Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Oversize Tennis Racquet a good beginners racquet? I seem to find only Junior's beginner racquets, but no adult beginner racquets.

You should find a racquet that you are comforatble with and also in your price range. I've never used Prince - Just Wilson. But Prince, Head, Wilson and Dunlop are all excellent. You should probably start with an oversized head and make sure you have a grip that fits your hand. The important measurement for a beginner is the string size and the weight it is strung at. You probably need a size 16 or 17 string and have it strung at 55 LBS. The pro at wherever you buy your raquet at will know what this means and be able to help.

You could go to Walmart and buy a Wilson US Open racquet. That's what I started out with and i progressed quickly. When you hit the stage when you need to up the racquet, start trying them out. The Wilson Hyper Hammer 5.3 is very popular.

if u dont want to spend much money, eg. less then 50, 40 $ go to a store and buy something u like, racquets at that price are very similar, just watch out not to buy junior racquet! :D i guess wilson is the best one to start with, enjoy tennis! ;)

Well, you should probably just head up to Wal-Mart and buy a cheap one. Then see if you like or are any good at Tennis. If you stay with it, then buy a nice racquet. Good Luck

I would really speak to a tennis coach for advise, so that you will not spend money on a trashy raquet

i would deffinetly recommend babolat probably the pure drive team would be good. maybe the pure control, but thats fairly heavy. badminton is quite similar to tennis in the foot-work, and serve
