Shopping for the right tennis racket can be confusing. In this article, I’ll give you a few tips to help make the process a little easier. Check it out…

Know your skill level. Rackets are divided into three categories: power rackets (best for beginners and intermediates), tweeners (for intermediate and advanced players), and control rackets (best for advanced players). By categorizing your skill level, you will instantly narrow down the field of rackets to buy.

know your options. Head size, racket length, weight and string tension are all important things to consider when selecting your racket.

• A larger head size equals more power, but a smaller head will give you more control.
• The length is also important. The rackets are available in lengths from 27 to 29 inches. A longer racket will give you more range for groundstrokes and is generally more powerful than a short racket. Longer rackets are also lighter than their shorter counterparts.
• Heavy rackets pack more punch, but lighter rackets are more maneuverable and provide more control. Medium weight rackets are a good choice as they provide a good mix of control and power.
• Most tennis rackets for sale come pre-strung with a fixed amount of string tension. Restringing the racket is always an option. Tight strings will give you more control and loose strings offer more power.

Know your grip. Put your hand around the grip. You will see a gap where your finger and palm meet. Place the index finger of the other hand between that space. Does it fit? Perfect! The grip is right for you. If there is too much space, the grip is too big. If there isn’t enough space, try something smaller.

know your price. If you are really committed to your game development, then price should not be an issue. For the rest of us, that’s not practical. If you’re just starting out, you can even try out a used racket, just to get an idea of ​​what you like or don’t like. Ultimately, only you know how much you can afford.

There are dozens of online tutorials, quizzes, and demos to help make this process easier, but the most important thing is to try the rackets for yourself. Does the racket feel too heavy or too light in your hand? Do you have a good grip on the handle? Is the head too big?

Follow your instinct, and you’ll be on your way.
