Step 1 of 3
How to choose a tennis racket
A few key specs shape how a racket plays. Match them to your level and the way you swing.
| Spec | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Head size | Smaller (around 95-98 sq in) gives control; larger (100-110 sq in) gives power and forgiveness. |
| Weight | Heavier frames are stable and powerful with a full swing; lighter frames are easier to manoeuvre. |
| Balance | Head-light suits fast players; head-heavy adds power to lighter frames. |
| String pattern | Open (16x19) helps spin and power; dense (18x20) helps control. |
| Grip size | Most UK adults use L2 or L3; juniors and small hands go smaller. |
Match the racket to your game
| You want | Look for |
|---|---|
| Power | Larger head, lighter, stiffer frame |
| Control | Smaller head, heavier player's frame |
| All-round | 98-100 sq in mid-weight frame |
| Spin | Open 16x19 pattern, fast head-light frame |
Stringing & care
- A common guide is to restring as many times per year as you play per week.
- Lower tension gives more power; higher tension gives more control.
- Keep your racket out of a hot car, which can affect the frame and string.
