How to choose a tennis racquet, strings and balls

Head size, weight and grip decide how a racquet feels. Strings and tension then fine-tune power, control and comfort.

Head size and weight

A larger head, around 100 to 110 square inches, has a bigger sweet spot and gives easier power, which helps beginners. A smaller head, around 95 to 100 square inches, gives more control for players with a full swing. Lighter racquets, under about 285 grams unstrung, are easier to swing. Heavier racquets, over about 300 grams, are more stable against hard hitting.

Grip size

Grip sizes run from L1 to L4 for most adults. L2 (4 1/4 inches) and L3 (4 3/8 inches) are the most common. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller one and add an overgrip.

Strings and tension

Polyester strings last longer and give control and spin for hard hitters. Synthetic gut and multifilament strings are softer, more powerful and easier on the arm. Most racquets are strung between 50 and 58 lbs. Lower tension adds power and comfort. Higher tension adds control. Polyester is usually strung a little lower. A common rule is to restring as many times a year as you play each week.

Balls and racquets for children

Children learn faster with low-compression balls. Red balls (stage 3) are the slowest, orange (stage 2) are in between, and green (stage 1) are closest to a standard ball. Junior racquets run from 17 to 26 inches, sized to the child's height.

Tennis questions

What tennis racquet should a beginner choose?

Choose a lighter racquet with a head of about 100 to 110 square inches. It is easier to swing and more forgiving when you miss the centre.

What tension should a tennis racquet be strung at?

Most racquets are strung between 50 and 58 lbs. Lower tension gives more power and comfort, and higher tension gives more control. Polyester strings are usually strung a little lower.

How often should I restring my tennis racquet?

A common rule is to restring as many times per year as you play per week. Strings lose tension over time even if they do not break.

Do you string tennis racquets in store?

Yes. Bring your own string or choose one of our reels, tell us the tension, and we string it at our Point Cook store. Regular turnaround is 4 days.
