Tennis Rackets & Sweet Spots

Here is some basic information when looking to buy a new tennis racket:
  • Racket-head Size (Standard & midsized = up to 94 square inches; midsize-plus = 95-105 square inches; oversized > 105 square inches)
  • Grip size: 4-1/4 inch to 4-5/8 inches.  This is a matter of comfort, with many men using grips of 4-1/2 and 4-5/8 and many women using 4-1/4 to 4-3/8.  
  • Cosmetics: some people may be interested in how the racket looks (color).
  • You can't go wrong with the major brands such as: Head, Prince & Wilson.
