 Which of these tennis racquets would be best for me? I am a 14 year old boy, 5'7", 136lbs. I am just starting out on the varsity team, and I think I need a new racquet. I am using a HEAD Ti.S5 Comfort Zone right now, but I think it's too light. It's really nice when I play the net, but I don't do that enough to get a racquet based around it. So, which of these racquets would be the best for me, do you think? Post up any other recommendations, please. http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Babolat_Aero_Strike/descpageRCBAB-BASTR.html http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Head_YOUTEK_Mojo/descpageRCHEAD-YTMOJ.html Thanks! Have you really demoed some of the heavier head-light frames out there? They can get pretty beefy, and the heavier ones tend to be more stable. If you're looking at head-light frames in the weight range of the three frames you linked, you probably won't like them much. Oh, at 'at least 9oz' only rules out the lightest of the light frames on the market. You'll really feel the impact with the ball due to the lack of stability in a lightweight and head-light frame. You're at a bit of a funny point for choosing a frame right now. The frames you've linked are good intermediate/game building frames. But if you stick with tennis, you'll probably find yourself ready to replace it again in a year or so. And what kind of frame would you move to at that point? A smaller, heavier, head-light frame. I would urge you to try something closer to 11.5 oz, that's a little head light. That should give you enough weight behind the ball that the frame stays pretty stable. And it'll be maneuverable enough for you to be able to easily generate topspin. Here's a number of frames I'd urge you to check out. I tried to keep the prices of these within your range: I'd also be curious to see how you do with something even heftier than those. Perhaps try one or two of these just to see how the weight feels: And I strongly urge you to demo before you buy. That's the only way you'll really know if something is going to work for you. I know I've kinda busted the playing field wide open here, but I honestly think that any of these would be a better investment because you will be able to use any of these for much longer than the ones you listed, because you won't 'outgrow' them (in terms of skill) as soon. Heck, you might find one you really, really like, and are able to stick with for years. I'm still using my first full-size frame which I got when I was about your age. It would fit well in with the first category of frames I linked you to, would be very similar to several of those. |
