Answer 2

A lot of these things are up to you and your level of play. There really isn't any "bad" combo.

If you are a beginner, I would suggest a larger head size. Generally, rackets with a larger heads give you a larger sweet spot, thus more safety for hitting the ball and getting it in. The smaller the racket, the more control you have, but you have to hit the ball in the middle with the right spin. (It looks like Tennis Warehouse is only selling mid+, which is, literally, in the middle of head sizes.)

Grip size doesn't matter as much. Whatever fits your hand. The average player plays with 3/8-1/2, but you can always wrap more grip on it the handle is too small. It's harder to make a handle smaller than wrap it and make it larger. I would go with 3/8 to be safe.

Strings and tension are really hard decisions. If you aren't too serious, any strings will work. The string quality is directly related to the price. Generally (not always!), expensive strings mean they are more "professional." If you're just beginning or doing recreational, go with the cheapest string. You can't really tell the difference until you get better. If you're more serious, you can choose from any of the mid-priced or upper strings. When I was beginning, I began with cheap polyester. I couldn't tell the difference so I stuck with what incurred the least price. As your level of play increases, so can your strings. But, I know some AMAZING (like really, really good) people playing with some sketch, cheap strings. Just to prove to you it doesn't really matter. It makes a little, itty-bitty difference, but I would suggest practicing with cheap strings, then changing them to more expensive ones a week or two before a tournament (so you can get use to them) if you're going to do anything. You're not going to benefit enough to make the cost worth it.

String tension depends on the racket, and this racket suggests between 52 to 62. You can take some liberties with this (52 is pretty low... I think 55 would be the min.) The lower the tension, the more the ball will fly from your racket and the less control you will have. The higher won't give you as much power, but a lot more control. Find a balance. Start with about 60, then experiment.

Hope this helps.
