FAQ
Tennis rackets are designed for various playing styles. Power rackets offer extra force, control rackets provide precision, and tweener rackets combine both. Consider your skill level and play style when choosing a racket. Beginners may prefer power rackets, while advanced players might opt for control or tweener options.
Tennis balls are categorized by court type and bounce. Pressurized balls offer high bounce and speed, ideal for matches. Pressureless balls last longer, perfect for practice. Choose based on your playing environment: hard courts, clay, or grass.
Tennis shoes are essential for support and grip. Look for durability, comfort, and appropriate court surface compatibility. Hard court shoes need more cushioning; clay court shoes should have good traction patterns. Ensure a snug fit to prevent injuries.
Tennis equipment requires regular care to extend its lifespan. Clean your racket strings with a damp cloth and store the racket in a protective case. Rotate tennis balls to even out wear, and air out your shoes after each use to prevent odor.
Tennis gear varies by environment. Indoor gear often focuses on lightness and flexibility due to controlled conditions. Outdoor gear emphasizes durability against weather elements like sun and wind. Choose based on where you primarily play to optimize performance.
Tennis: 3 things to consider before buying
When selecting a tennis racket, it's crucial to consider your skill level. Beginners should look for rackets with larger head sizes, typically around 105–135 square inches, which offer a larger sweet spot and more forgiveness on off-centre hits. Intermediate players might prefer a mid-sized racket between 98–104 square inches for better control and maneuverability. Advanced players often opt for smaller head sizes under 98 square inches to maximize precision and power. By aligning the racket with your skill level, you can enhance your performance and enjoyment on the court.
The grip size of a tennis racket significantly affects comfort and control during play. To find the right size, measure the distance from the tip of your ring finger to the second line on your palm. This measurement usually falls between 4″–4.75″. A grip that's too small can cause wrist strain, while one that's too large may reduce control. We recommend trying different sizes in-store or using overgrips to fine-tune the fit until it feels just right in your hand.
Racket weight plays a pivotal role in how you play tennis. Lightweight rackets (under 10 ounces) are easier to maneuver and ideal for players who rely on speed and quick reactions. They’re especially suitable for doubles matches where net play is frequent. Mid-weight rackets (10–11 ounces) offer a balance of power and control, making them versatile for all-court players. Heavy rackets (over 11 ounces) provide more stability and power, preferred by baseline players who generate their own pace. Consider your playing style when choosing the weight to ensure optimal performance.
