What racket should I buy?

Question

I'm a high school varsity tennis player in need of a new racket. I have a short, compact swing, and I'm an all court player, so I need something that is powerful for baseline rallies but also lightweight for volleys. I've looked at the Prince O3 and Wilson K Series rackets, but those are way too expensive for my budget, because I'm looking for something under $100. So, what brand and model should I buy? Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

I guess you can try going to your local tennis shops and look at the sale racks.

Or you can go to a tennis website, like tenniswarehouse.com and look under sale racquets

Good luckk.

Answer 2

You should go to the store and try out all the models that were released the series BEFORE the current one. These are usually on sale.

Also, ask the store about their policy on returns for rackets. Often times they will let you buy the racket, and then return it later (For a full refund!) after you've tried it out

Answer 3

You should try the Wilson nCode rackets.  They are about $70 now.  If you want buy cheaper rackets you can get the Wilson Hammer.  Wilson Hammer is a series older than the nCode, but they are still very powerful and suitable for baseline players.  You could probably get the Hammer at $60 range on the internet.

Here are two websites that might help.

Thanks

whats up..1st lets start off with the major brands i'm familiar with(wilson,prince,head,babolat). If you go to modells.com , they have some nice good rackets in the sale section from $50-$100. But of my experience, would say wilson rackets are the heaviest rackets , and need alot of strength. Head, and Prince have alot of light rackets, good for slices, and putting good spin, if your not strong. But with a heavy racket, it can produce good powerful strokes. Different rackets suit different players. I would try testing with them 1st............bye
