I don't know which tennis racquet i should use?

Question

recently i have been wanting a new tennis racquet... and ever since my last one's frame broke... i decided i should get a new one. I would really like a head brand racquet. someone recently told me i should get the Head MicroGel Radical Team Racquet because it is lighter in weight then the other Head MicroGel Racquets. Is this the racquet for me? Here are some details about me.

- I'm fourteen... and an adicquete tennis player (though i don't have very much strength)

-i have for the last few years used a Head Liquid Metal 4 Racquet

- i use lots of topspin

- i like to slice the ball with my backhand

-i like to volley shots with lots of power without having to move my arm (like my liquid metal racquet did for me)

Answer 1

my suggestion is to find a mid to mid-plus racket with a medium width profile (22mm+). from your description, you are still growing and rely racket to generate the power you need. you need a racket that is a little bid more forgiving until you develope your form and game.

if you start using the racket designed for player 4.0 and above, it is okay but you will have a hard time to get used to it to begin with. find a mid+ head size racket you will have more fun.

like all the people looking for a new racket, i always recommend demo bunch of rackets, play with them for good 1/2 hour each, this is the only way to invest your money for the new racket. don't blindly listen to how others saying, or worse, buy the racket your tennis idol plays, ha, we've all done that, right?

Good luck!

Answer 5

i like Wilson rackets! there the best! but i would choose whatever was comfortable for me! my racket just recently broke too, which sucked i know how you feel! lol but i had gone out and but a much recent racket that was about the same weight  so that wouldn't through me off. i hope i helped you choose your next racket! :)

Answer 6

Definitely get the Team version of the Head MicroGel line, because the heavier ones are for tour-level players with fast swing speeds.  If you're not that strong as you say, then the lighter Team version should suit you fine.

Answer 7

Try something that is comfy to hold and flows nicely when you swing it around. Try that out when your pick it out at a store. It helps you get a feel for what it will be like. I'm no expert but that's what my coach told me. I have no idea about that particular racket sorry. Hope I helped.

Answer 8

Dunlops are really good, thats wat i use
