Tennis Racket Selection Guide

We have divided our racket selection by player type, but remember that every player is different and this is just a rough guide, feel free to get in touch if you have questions or would like any advice.

 

PRO - Surgical precision for advanced players. Pro rackets can be unforgiving for most players, however they offer exceptional control & feel for those with experience , strength and skill.

CONTROL - For players who are strong both physically & technically. These rackets provide a firm ball contact giving players maximum feel, but there is an expectation that the player generates the power. These are precision tools not ball cannons

CLUB ADVANCED - These rackets cover two main player profiles. Firstly strong or improving club/intermediate players , and secondly control players who want a ‘players’ racket but like extra power. Ideal for baseliners. A versatile mix of subtlety & power.

CLUB INTERMEDIATE - Our most popular category, These racket are moderate in every aspect making them ideal for beginners, intermediate and club players. A great balance of power & control, the ultimate all rounder. Forgiving & manoeuvrable

CLUB POWER - Ideal for those with a traditional ‘flatter’ playing style. These racket provide powerful stable shots whilst maintaining some degree of manoeuvrability. (Advice - The stability offered by these rackets impedes a top spin style - If this is your aim consider Club or Club advanced)

POWER - Ultimate power. These rackets are designed to provide effortless power & a very stable racket face. Ideal for traditional players or those carrying injuries. (Advice - The stability offered by these rackets impedes a top spin style - If this is your aim consider Club or Club advanced)
