How do you choose a tennis racket?

Answer 1

Depends on a few things:

If you're a newbie, start off with something more on the cheap side. If you like and really get into the game, then you can always buy a better racquet later.

If you lack power, buy a widebody racquet. (thicker around the Y and the head).

If you can generate enough power, then go for a slimmer racquet. (helps with control).

For newbs and intermediates, I would suggest an oversized head. (typically 110sq in. and a bit larger than your standard head...head being the round part where the strings go)

Any of the brands will work for a starter racquet. Can't go wrong with Wilson or Prince.

It's vastly different if you're advanced, but if you were, you probably wouldn't need to ask how to choose a racquet, so I'm assuming you're a newb. :)

Answer 2

you should start with a cheap racket and once you get better you can demo rackets and chose the racket that u like. Thats what i did.
