Featured Article:
There are various factors that you need to consider when choosing a tennis racket, but they basically fall into the following categories:
- Playing / swing style
- Grip size
- Budget
First of all you need to know what type of racket is suitable for your style of play and ability. There are 3 basic types of racket: Power, control and all round. If you know what your swing style is, this will enable you to select the right racket type and head size.
Power
These are the racket of choice for players with a narrower or shorter swing. They generate a fast ball speed off the racket. They are great for serve and volley players and tend to be lighter to make them more manoeuvrable through the swing. If you take a huge swing at the ball and create your own power, you may wish to opt for a control racket with a midsize head.
Control
Perfect for those who are able to create their own power, the control racket gives the ball a slower speed coming off the strings. This gives you more control. Control rackets are ideally suited for players with a wider or longer swing and tend to be heavier so they can capitalise on their power with a real hammer-type effect.
All round (Hybrids)
These rackets have a good balance of power and control and are Ideal for aspiring recreational players who want a racket to cover all the bases. The all round racket will not provide a huge amount of power, but will be forgiving and allow those who haven't fully mastered the strokes to hit the ball with confidence.
Now let's look at Head sizes
Racket head sizes fall into the following ranges:
- Midsize - around 70 to 89 sq in
- Midplus - around 90 to 105 sq in
- Oversize - 110 to 115 sq in
- Super oversize - 116 to 135 sq in
Beginners will be best suited to rackets with a larger head size as they have a larger "sweet spot" for better control as well as offering more power. More experienced players should opt for a racket with a smaller head size. Better players can generate more power in their swing and a larger head size may cause problems controlling the ball.
Once you have decided which type of racket is best for you, all you need to do is make sure you chose the correct grip size. Playing with a racket in the wrong grip size will be uncomfortable and could lead to injuries.
The quickest way to measure your grip size is to hold a racket! The best way to hold the racket is to 'shake hands' with it. From there, you should just be able to fit your index finger between the end of your fingers and the palm of your hand.
The circumference of the grip determines the grip size. The grip sizes are as follows:
- Grip 1 - 4 1/8"
- Grip 2 - 4 1/4"
- Grip 3 - 4 3/8"
- Grip 4 - 4 1/2"
- Grip 5 - 4 5/8"
As a general guide:
- Grip 1 or 2 for juniors
- Grip 2 or 3 for ladies
- Grip 3 or 4 for men
- Grip 5 is for those with large hands!
Finally we come to budget. Obviously you can spend hundreds on a racket but by doing your research on line there are bargains to be had. Beginners should consider buying the previous years model or look out for special offers on a pair of rackets, perhaps with a racket bag thrown in.
The key point is that the most expensive racket may not be the best one for you.
So follow this simple advice to get the right racket for you at the best price.

How to Choose a Tennis Racquet
Selecting a Tennis Racquet:
1. Choose a tennis racquet based on price. Lower-priced racquets perform well for casual racquet sports, although high-priced racquets include more features that are designed to allow a player to execute difficult or expert shots.
2. Choose racquets based on your level of play. There are racquets for beginner, intermediate and advanced players. Light racquets are best for beginners. Advanced players will perform better with heavy racquets that have light heads. Such a racquet is designed for those who provide their own power.
3. Consider the material. Graphite is considered the best material for tennis racquets and is often mixed with other materials such as Kevlar, titanium and fiberglass. Other materials for racquets include aluminum and titanium.
4. Choose from strung and unstrung tennis racquets. Manufacturers sell unstrung tennis racquets for those players who choose to select their own string. You can string the racquet yourself with a stringer or have it professionally done.
5. Select a string for unstrung racquets. There are different types of tennis strings, including natural gut, kevlar, nylon and synthetic. Strings are sold in gauges ranging from 15 to 18 gauge.
6. Think about size. Racquets are available in three head sizes: mid-size, mid-plus and oversize. Mid-size racquets are smaller but less cumbersome, while larger racquets have more headspace and a larger sweet spot, making it easier to hit a ball solidly.
7. Consider weight and balance. The weight of a tennis racquet ranges from 8 ounces to 12.5 ounces unstrung and could weigh more than 14 ounces when strung. The weight is not evenly balanced and could be concentrated in the handle of the racquet or at the head.
8. Check the length of the racquet. The standard length for an adult racquet is 27 inches, but there are longer racquets. Some players choose longer racquets for increased serving power and others avoid them because of their reduced maneuverability.
9. Check the grip size. An incorrect grip size can affect your game, so be sure to carefully measure your hand and select a grip size that will feel comfortable while you play.

Small Tennis Racquet Head = more Control?
Does smaller tennis racquet heads mean I
If I buy those 1920 racquets with super small head, will that mean maximum control?
Does smaller racquet heads mean more control?
Let me put it this way, as you get better you would like to play with a smaller head racket. It gives you faster racket head speed and control.
