Before you start shopping through our large selection, let’s look at how to select the best tennis racquet.

How To Select a Tennis Racquet

First, you’ll need to match a tennis racquet to your performance ability. Are you a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced tennis player?

Best beginner tennis racquet : Select an oversized, pre-strung racquet

Best intermediate tennis racquet : Select a lighter, smaller racquet if you’re a power player; a larger racquet if a finesse player

Best advanced tennis racquet : Select a light weight, high-tech composite racquet

Racquet Type

Next, you’ll need to select your racquet type. This is largely based on how you swing.

Power Player : Aggressively hitting the ball requires a control racquet

Finesse Player : Slow-to-moderate hitting of the ball requires a power racquet for leverage

Combination Player: Stiff, more powerful racquets are best for combination players

Racquet Technology

To get the most out of your game performance, you’ll need to know a bit about racquet technology.

Head Size and Shape

The sweet spot is the area on a tennis racquet that allows for a solid hit. The larger the racquet, the bigger the sweet spot. Oval racquets have a smaller, bottom area for the sweet spot, whereas the Tear Drop racquets provide an entire face for the sweet spot.

Length and Weight

Longer tennis racquets provide more power and can cover more area on the court, whereas traditional racquets offer a combination of both power and control. Heavy racquets provide the most power in a shot, mid-weight are versatile and suitable for most players, and light racquets provide excellent shot control.
