The usual method for choosing a tennis racquet is going to a pro tennis shop where the player will be advised on the best options for his/her game and experience. Many stores also offer test racquets that can be used for a week in order to decide if they fit our game. This method is very convenient, but not perfect, since according to the string type and tension the impression may vary.
Another option might be to test the racquets of friends or colleagues to see if they suit our game. The downside is that these racquets are strung according to the preferences of other players, but it can be instructive before deciding to buy one.
The third option, less desirable, is to buy the racquet without testing. It is therefore advisable to seek information and opinions on the internet about the racquet, and use the racquet finders offered by some companies (such as “Racquet Finder” from Tennis Warehouse, http://www.racquetfinder.com/,), which suggest possible models on the market and even old models based on the characteristics introduced by the user.
Other retailers include filters to narrow your search according to the desired characteristics or playing style.
Of course, you can also buy either a tweener or a control racquet and try to customize it to your playing style, but this is reserved for players with some experience. Before deciding to buy the racquet, some priorities need to be considered.
Our mission here at Tennis Review is to give you honest and useful information so you can take the right decision when buying a tennis racquet.
