Tennis rackets

Choose your tennis racket according to your level of play!

The choice of a tennis racket is based on several criteria: racket head, weight, balance, grip size... Beyond all that, the level of the tennis player remains central. A beginner will never have the same needs and expectations as a professional player. With this in mind, it's worth noting, for example, that a lightweight racket with a large head size offers greater forgiveness and power for beginners. The Lite ranges from our Artengo brand are therefore ideal. Intermediate and advanced players, on the other hand, should look for heavier tennis rackets with smaller head sizes, for excellent control on the court. Here, the Pro, Control and Power ranges are best suited.

Tennis racket head size: an essential point

In addition to your level of play, you also need to take into account the size of your racquet's head to play in the best possible conditions. To do this, we advise you to get to know the advantages and disadvantages of each range:

Large (oversize)

• Tennis racket head over 645 cm².
• Benefits: Increased tolerance and power, ideal for beginners and for maximum comfort.
• Disadvantages : Less control than smaller heads.

Medium to large (midsize)

• Tennis racket head from 630 to 645 cm².
• Advantages: Good compromise between power and control, suitable for a wide variety of players, including intermediates.
• Disadvantages: Less forgiving than oversize snowshoes, but offers more control.

Small (midsize to small)

• Tennis racket head less than 630 cm².
• Advantages: Excellent control and greater precision, often preferred by advanced players.
• Disadvantages: Less tolerant, requires a more precise technique to generate power.

By taking these differences into account, you'll know exactly which head to turn to.

Weight, balance: how to choose tennis rackets?

Finally, you'll also need to pay attention to the racquet's weight, balance, string pattern and handle. A racket is considered heavy if it weighs more than 300 grams. With such a model, experience is particularly important, as the risk of injury is higher. As far as grip size is concerned, the average is 2 (19 cm) for women and 3 (19.5 cm) for men. Size 0 (18 cm) is reserved for children under 11. Before making your choice, remember to compare these last two elements:

Racquet balance

• A head-balanced racquet offers more power, while a handle-balanced racquet offers more control. Center-balanced racquets are versatile.

Stringing plan

• The string pattern affects the feel of the racket and the way it transmits power. A more open string pattern offers more spin, while a denser string pattern offers better control.
