Anatomy of a Tennis Racquet

Have you ever wondered what exactly is a tennis racquet?  The tennis racquet is an instrument used when hitting the ball in a game of tennis. It has a long, straight handle and an oval frame that is strung with natural gut, or a synthetic material. Up until the late 1960s, racquets were made of wood, but then steel and aluminum frames were introduced, followed by frames of graphite, fiberglass, titanium, and carbon. The maximum dimensions are 29 inches in overall length, and 12 inches in overall width. The hitting surface can be no more than 15 inches long and 11 inches wide.

The Head Size of Tennis Racquets

Head size is the single most important attribute to consider in a racquet. To assist you in choosing what will work best for your needs, here is a basic guide.

• Midsize: 90-98 sq. in. — Advanced Players tend to favor this size as they are more control oriented and don't provide as much power. These racquets are recommended for experienced players.
• Mid Plus: 99-106 sq. in. — Intermediate Players find that this head size suits a balanced game and offers a nice blend of power and control.
• Oversize: 107-125 sq. in. — Beginners tend to see better results with oversize frames because they give a lot of power, and allow a player to concentrate on perfecting their swing.
