Tips for Buying Tennis Racquets

Whether you're new to tennis or a seasoned pro, Walmart's selection of tennis racquets is a hit. Before you start shopping, consider your budget and the type of player you are to find your best racquet.

Types of Racquets:

• Best for Maneuverability: When you're just learning or need easy movement for serving and volleying, look for pre-strung racquets with nylon solid-core strings and lengths of 27 inches or less.
• Best for Heavy Hitters: If you need a little extra pop in your swing, look for racquets that are at least 28 inches long. Polyester strings let you hit harder. Synthetic strings offer the best feel and shock absorption.
• Best for Kids: Littler hitters need smaller grips. Look for junior racquets in fun colors and patterns.

Features to Consider:

• Check the string pattern. Open patterns give you more spin on the ball so you can hit harder without going out of bounds. Denser patterns provide optimal control.
• Choose lightweight racquets for comfort and performance.
