🎾Best Tennis Racquets for Beginners

Most new players do best with a racquet that is forgiving rather than one built for a touring pro. A larger head and a frame that is not too heavy make it easier to find the sweet spot while your strokes are still taking shape.

If you can, demo a couple of frames at a local club or shop before buying, and remember that the strings and grip size matter almost as much as the frame itself. The lessons on this page cover grips and first strokes, so you can get the most out of whatever you choose.
