Michael S: What tennis racquet is best for beginners? And which racquet of all in the world do you like?
I am barely learning tennis, but I am planning on joining a team. I wanted to buy a racquet for beginner, since i am new to tennis, but i do not really know which one. I want to buy one for just beginners, and then buy another one, like really good tennis racquet. So please give me recommendation of a tennis racquet for beginner and for advanced players. Thanks 🙂

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). Head size, racket length, weight and string tension are all important things to consider when selecting your racket. Check below article for the full guide in choosing the best tennis racket for you.
If you plan on getting into tennis seriously, which it sounds you are, I would advise starting a small step up from a true beginner’s frame.
Check out these frames:

I would look to stay somewhere between 10.5 and 11 oz in weight, with a slightly head-light balance (even would be fine, too). For head size, stay below 105″, but you’ll probably want at least 98″.
This will get you something that won’t be too forgiving, which will force you to learn to provide a little extra power on your own. Now, these are still going to be pretty forgiving frames, and are definitely fine for a beginner to use.
The other reason to go with one of these is that it should last you a little bit longer as you improve. If you buy a true beginner’s frame, you’ll probably outgrow it in terms of skill in a very short time.
Which racquet do I like best? The ones I’m using 😛
Well, this is true to an extent. I’ve been considering a racquet change for some time now, but I need money first. But for the time being, mine are my favorite (they’re pretty old-school by now: Prince More Control DB 800’s, from almost 8 years ago).
