How To Choose A Tennis Racquet
Selecting the right tennis racquet for you depends upon your level of play. If you are a beginner, you should start with a power tennis racket . If you have been playing for a while, let's say for a year, you probably should opt for one which gives you more control. Regardless of your level of play, there is a third factor which a tennis player should be aware of: comfort. You should choose a
tennis racquet
which fits your physique and level of play and thus you are most comfortable to play with. By choosing the right racket, you also avoid the pain associated with tennis elbow which incidentally afflicts almost 50% of all tennis players in America. So having the knowledge about raquets is important in ensuring that you have the right tennis equipment which will help you tremendously in your quest to be a better tennis player.
For the average player, a combination of power, control, and comfort is probably ideal.
Category 1: Power Tennis Racquets
Manufacturers usually indicate in their packaging or internet description what category the model that they are selling belongs. These racquets feature oversize to super-oversize heads, are lightweight (8-9.5 ounces), longer (27-29 inches), stiffer and are balanced head-heavy (or evenly balanced) to retain enough weight in the hitting zone. These are designed for players with shorter, slower swings and who want more zing and pop.

Category 2: Control Tennis Racquets
Denotes tennis racquets that would be used by professional and more advanced players. These models are typically heavier in weight (11.5-13+ ounces), have smaller heads (85-98), thinner, more flexible beams and are balanced head-light to allow for more maneuverability. The result is low-power and designed for players who provide their own power and prefer one that offers more control. Can be standard or extended length.

Category 3: ‘Tweener Tennis Racquets
There are several models that offer a blend of features from power and control racquets. They are often lighter (9.5-11 ounces), balanced anywhere from slightly head-light to slightly head-heavy, have midplus (95-102 square inches) heads and are usually extended length (27.5-28 inches). These models offer low-medium to medium-high power and are most appealing to intermediate-advanced players, seeking enhanced maneuverability.
