Tips for Choosing the Right Adult Tennis Racquet Size

1. Know Your Skill Level
   • Beginner: Look for a racquet with a larger head size (100 to 110 square inches). This gives a bigger sweet spot and more forgiveness.
   • Intermediate to Advanced: Choose a smaller head size (95 to 100 square inches) for better control and precision.
2. Consider the Racquet Weight (Strung)
   • Lighter racquets (270 to 300 grams strung) are easier to swing and suitable for beginners or players with less upper body strength.
   • Heavier racquets (315 to 340 grams strung) offer more stability and power, and are ideal for experienced players.
3. Choose the Right Head Size
   • Oversized (105 to 115 square inches) provides more power and a larger sweet spot.
   • Midplus (98 to 104 square inches) offers a balance of power and control.
   • Midsize (less than 98 square inches) gives maximum control for advanced players.
4. Think About Balance
   • Head-Heavy racquets provide more power and stability on groundstrokes but may feel tiring over time.
   • Head-Light racquets offer better maneuverability and are easier to handle at the net.
   • Even Balance racquets strike a good mix of control and power.
5. Select a Grip Size That Fits Your Hand
   • When holding the racquet, there should be about a finger’s width of space between your fingers and palm.
   • A grip that is too small can strain your hand, while one that is too large may reduce control and comfort.
6. Try Before You Buy - If possible, demo a few racquets. Choose one that feels comfortable to swing and matches your playing style.
7. Don’t Forget String Type and Tension - String choice and tension significantly affect performance. Softer strings and lower tension give more power and comfort, while tighter strings provide more control.
