thay have many good rackets there but you have to decide on what her strengths are. i would sugest a power racket no a players racket. i would also sugest a 27.5 inch. this may cost around 120-200$ for a good one. be prepared to spend. as for tips just have her serve it to the center to the serve boxs and have her work on her forehand and back hand thats all she needs for now scince it seems she is a beginner.

At this point, she really doesn't need an amazing racquet. She could probably handle a full size racquet (27 in. lenght) unless she is small for her age. I would advise just getting a pre-strung racquet from any sporting goods store, or try tennis-warehouse.com or midwestsports.com. You don't need to spend a whole lot on her, yet. At her level, she just needs something kinda lightweight that she can swing easily. That racquet should last her for a few years of learning, unless she improves very quickly.

Get her a good brand. Don't get her some cheap knockoff such as Wilsons. When I switched from Wilsons to Prince, my game got a bit better, but I have heard many veterans of the game saying the racquet does not make for a better player. At that point though, I sucked a tennis and it does make a difference for a novice.
