How to choose a tennis racquet
Three things decide how a racquet feels: head size, weight and grip size. Get these right and you’ll enjoy the game much more.
- Head size: power vs control. Oversize (105+ sq in) gives the biggest sweet spot and easy power, which is ideal for beginners. Mid-plus (98–104 sq in) is the best all-round choice for most players. Midsize (under 98 sq in) gives precise control but needs a trained swing.
- Weight: easy swing vs stability. Light racquets (under about 285 g) are easy to swing and kind to the shoulder. Medium (285–300 g) mixes power and control. Heavy (300 g+) feels stable against fast balls but suits advanced players.
- Grip size: comfort and safety. A grip that is too big or too small can cause wrist and elbow pain. Most adults use G2 (4 1/4") or G3 (4 3/8"). If unsure, choose the smaller size; you can always add an overgrip.
- Strung or unstrung. Beginners should buy strung racquets, ready to play. Players who know what string and tension they like should buy unstrung.

View price & options →Best junior tennis racquets
Children should use a racquet sized for their height, not an adult racquet. A simple test: when your child holds the racquet by their side, the tip should not touch the ground.
📏 Junior size guide
| Age (approx.) | Racquet length |
|---|---|
| 4–6 years | 21 inch |
| 6–8 years | 23 inch |
| 8–10 years | 25 inch |
| 10+ years | 26 inch |
Height matters more than age. A tall 7-year-old may need a 25 inch racquet.

Expert tips from our stores
- Don’t buy a racquet that is too heavy. A heavy frame feels powerful in the shop but tires your arm in a long session.
- Don’t copy the pros. A Blade or Pro Staff suits trained swings. Most players improve faster with a forgiving 100 sq in frame.
- Restring regularly. A simple rule: restring as many times a year as you play each week.
- Replace your grip when it feels slippery or flat.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best tennis racquet for beginners in India?
For most adult beginners a light, strung racquet with a big head (100–110 sq in) is best. Good choices are the HEAD Ti.Reward, Wilson Energy XL and Yonex EZONE Ace. For the lowest price, the Vector X VXT-520 is a good first racquet.
What head size should a beginner use?
Choose an oversize (105 sq in or more) or mid-plus (98–104 sq in) head. A bigger head gives a bigger sweet spot, more power and fewer mishits. Smaller heads (under 98 sq in) give more control but need good technique.
How heavy should my tennis racquet be?
Beginners usually play best with a racquet under about 285 g (unstrung). Intermediate players often use 285–300 g, and advanced players 300 g or more for stability. If your shoulder or arm hurts, go lighter.
How do I choose the right grip size?
Hold the racquet normally. You should be able to fit the index finger of your other hand in the gap between your fingertips and palm. Most adults in India use G2 (4 1/4") or G3 (4 3/8"). If you are between sizes, choose the smaller one and add an overgrip.
Should I buy a strung or unstrung tennis racquet?
Beginners should buy a strung racquet, which is ready to play. Intermediate and advanced players usually buy unstrung so they can choose their own string and tension.
What size tennis racquet should my child use?
As a guide: 21 inch for ages 4–6, 23 inch for 6–8, 25 inch for 8–10 and 26 inch for 10 and above. When the racquet is held by the child’s side, the tip should not touch the ground.
Which tennis racquet is best for tennis elbow?
Choose a lighter, more flexible frame, a soft multifilament or synthetic gut string and a lower tension. Racquets such as the Wilson Clash 100UL are designed to be arm-friendly.
