Tennis Rackets fit for a Beginner or Pro

Author: Frederic

Go on, hit them with your best shot! Whether you’re a Beginner or Pro tennis player, Twenga offers a diverse array of tennis rackets from the biggest brands, and the ability to compare prices online.

Beginner: Light and equipped
Whether you’re a novice, or simply looking to play a little bit more than usual, it’s best to start with a pre-strung tennis racket (neutral strung). As a beginner, it’s not necessary to get a sophisticated or expensive racket. Try a light racket, particularly one equipped with a vibration dampener to avoid injury and tennis-elbow (elbow pain resulting from the overuse of arm and forearm muscles). Prices for these lightweight rackets range from £7.50 and £50.00

Pro: Detailed and powerful
The head size, racket weight, string type and tension, and frame build are the main criterion for choosing a tennis racket. You can also leave the decision making to the pros, and choose a racket by your favourite player: Nadal’s Babolat, Federer’s Wilson, Sharapova’s Wilson…
For a powerful and durable racket, price ranges £50 to £120

Accessories:
Tennis Shoes
Whatever your tennis level or play surface (clay, grass, hard…), don’t forget you’ll need good shoes. When it comes to tennis shoes, don’t skimp on comfort. Tennis is not for the faint of foot. Gel tennis shoes or air cushioned tennis shoes will give you added support on the court, both increasing your comfort and reducing your risk of injury.
Remember that spiked shoes are best for lawn courts. Various tennis shoe prices start at £20.99

Tennis Balls
The tennis balls you choose can make all the difference. For hard surfaces, buy tennis balls with pressure from brands such as Wilson and Gamma. The fine felt used on regular duty tennis balls tends to deteriorate and collect dirt on hard outdoor surfaces.

Additional accessories
Don’t forget the small things that can make huge difference in a winning game: Tennis racket grip, tennis bag, tennis shorts.
