Surely a beginner who goes to play tennis for the first time is wondering how to choose a racket? Even amateurs who have been playing for more than one year face this question, so we will try to understand this issue, what you should pay attention to when choosing a tennis racket.
Hello everyone!
Today I want to talk about how to choose a racket for big tennis, what you should pay attention to and what not. What plays an important role in choosing, and how to choose the right company.
There are various numbers of tennis rackets, and we will probably start with the manufacturers.
Today, there are probably 7 most famous companies on the market, such as:
- Head
- Wilson
- Babolat
- Yonex
- Prince
- Dunlop
- Prince
If you look at the professional gamblers, they only use these firms. Most likely, their choice depends on the contract that they sign with the company, thereby representing it at championships and various games. I personally use the Wilson Six One Team racket.
How to choose a racket?
- We look at the weight. Each racket has its own individual weight, which affects not only the power of the blow, but also its main purpose. For example, my racket is good at spinning balls, because it leads about 280 grams (without strings). If you take a heavier racket, such as the Wilson Blade 98, then here the emphasis is on the power of the blow, it will be difficult to hit a twisted ball with such an equipment.
- Strings. Rackets sold with strings tend to have a slight stretch (factory tension). Because of this, your strings may break, or thunderbolts will fly out. And this is an extra cost. You should choose a professional rocket that is sold without strings. In this case, you need to buy additional strings and give it to the hauling. The master will do everything for you.
- The shape of the ruchi. Everything is simple here. We take the racket in hand, and check that it would fit comfortably in your hand, ideally, make a couple of manners, both forehand and others, in order to understand how it will seem to be in the game.
- Pay attention to the winding. Standard windings are different. It is best that she does not slide on her hand, and lie firmly against her. If not, you can buy a new winding.
- Material. Choose an aluminum racket, and preferably a graphite one. They are lighter and do not chafe the strings as much.
Also, an important parameter when choosing a racket is the size of its head. There are not many racket head sizes for adult racquets. Manufacturers offer us only a few variations - from 95 to 110 inches.
BABOLAT RIVAL AERO tennis racket, head size 102 sq. inch
If you are a beginner, then it is recommended to opt for a racket with a large head, as it has a larger center of impact on the ball and a better transmission of sensation when hitting.
Large-headed racquets often use a wide rim to mitigate mistakes. These rackets are recommended for beginners and for people who have been injured. If you have pain in your elbows or hands, this racket allows you to soothe all discomfort and do what you love, regardless of your age and health condition.
The standard head size for an adult professional 27 "racket is 100".
Babolat Pure Drive tennis racket, racket head size 100 sq. inch
This is the most optimal size for a racket, in this situation the head of the racket and the racket itself retain their playing qualities for a long time and allow you to play tennis despite the weather conditions.
