Good tennis racquet?

Question

I have a 13 year old son who wants to buy a Babolat Drive Z Lite Cortex 08. I know nothing about tennis racquets and would appreciate answers to the following:

1) Is it a good raquet?

2) Is it suitable for a 13 year old?

3) Is there another racquet for £100.00 (approx US$200.00) that is much better value for money?

Thanks everyone, Mark.

Answer 1

Hmm ive never heard of that racket but when i was around his age and actually younger i used a "Wilson" they are great and i actually have a bunch of their rackets ! i like the decorations and they are very cheap. none of mine have broken, bent, or anything. they've been in perfect condition for more than 5 years !

Answer 4

yes there sure  is buddy

now im guessing he wants to use babolat because it is a good racket very light and is a very well known name now thanks to raffa like the nike of football.

So i would reccoment the babbolat aero drive racket, is a good one used by raffa and is a bit cheep (its ok but very pro)

But the racket i use and by far the best i have evr had (i am just a year oldeer than your son )

is the babolat sie wofer is a good racket and light but not to light
