Size and Weight
The Balance between Power and Control
If you’re still new to the sport of tennis, you may be unsure about what size racquet to purchase. Depending on the racquet head size, weight, and length, the racquet will fall somewhere on the spectrum between power and control. If you’re new to the game, then you may desire power to your shots, but as you advance in skill, you’ll be able to provide the power yourself and will desire a racquet with more control.
Here’s a basic guide to help you determine the size, weight, and length of the racquet you need.
| Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced | |
| Weight | Light (under 10 oz.) | 9-11 oz. | 11-13 oz. |
| Head Size | Large (107-135 square inches) | Mid-sized (95-102 square inches) | Mid-sized |
| Length | 27-29 inches | 27-28 inches | 27 inches |
| Benefits | Enlarged sweetspot; great power | Balance between power and control | More control |
| Drawbacks | Less control | You supply the power; weight can tire the arm |
