Frequently Asked Questions
What weight tennis racquet should an adult use?
Beginners do best with lighter racquets (255-285g strung) for power and manoeuvrability. Intermediate players typically use 285-300g. Advanced players often prefer 300g+ for control and stability.
What head size should I choose for an adult tennis racquet?
Midsize (85-95 sq in) gives more control for advanced players. Midplus (96-105 sq in) is the most versatile for all levels. Oversize (106+ sq in) offers the largest sweetspot for beginners.
What is the difference between open and closed string patterns?
Open string patterns (16x18, 16x19) generate more spin. Closed patterns (18x20) provide better control and durability. Most recreational players benefit from the spin potential of open patterns.
Should I buy a beginner or performance racquet as an adult starter?
Adults new to tennis benefit most from a beginner/intermediate racquet - lightweight, larger head size, and power-oriented. Performance racquets require better technique and are unsuitable for beginners.
How much should I spend on an adult tennis racquet?
Beginner racquets range from $80-150. Mid-range options ($150-250) offer better quality and durability. Performance racquets ($250-400+) suit competitive players. The $150-250 range offers the best value for most adults.
