Best Tennis Rackets For Beginners

If you are just starting to play tennis it can be very tempting to jump in and buy a very expensive racket, but this is not always necessary and probably not advisable.

You should be looking for a basic, versatile racket, which you can get for very affordable prices.

The two extreme types of racket which can be disregarded for the beginner are the heavy, head-light, low-powered racquet intended for an advanced player. or the extremely light and powerful racquet which is designed for those who don't play often and lack the strength to generate a powerful swing.

The rackets listed here generally have an even balance and feature a midplus headsize (98-105),
Suitable for beginners who want an 'in-between' racket., one that is not too difficult to use , fairly forgiving but not too powerful!
These type of middle ground rackets are also very good for the majority of club / recreational players who hit the ball reasonably well and also advanced players who need 'touch and feel', but who like a bit of power from the racket as well.
