Selecting the right tennis racket is crucial for maximizing your performance and preventing potential injuries like tennis elbow.
Racket head size directly influences the 'sweet spot' and power potential. For most intermediate players, a 100 sq in head size offers the ideal balance of forgiveness and control. Advanced players often prefer smaller heads (95-98 sq in) for surgical precision, while beginners benefit from larger heads (102-110 sq in) that provide a larger margin for error.
Don't just look at the gram number printed on the frame. Swingweight is arguably more important—it measures how heavy the racket feels while moving through the air. A racket with a high swingweight plows through the ball effectively but requires good technique to maneuver. Our AceFinder algorithm calculates these variables to ensure you don't buy a frame that is too demanding for your current fitness level.
Playing with the wrong grip size is a leading cause of wrist and elbow strain. A grip that is too small forces you to squeeze too tight to prevent twisting, while a grip that is too large inhibits proper wrist snap on serves and forehands. Most adult males fit a size 3 (4 3/8) or 4 (4 1/2), while females typically fit size 1 (4 1/8) or 2 (4 1/4).
