While the Head MicroGel Mojo Green tennis racquet does not come prestrung (it costs around $30 to $40 to have that done professionally), devoted players say it’s well worth the price. A racquet for advanced players, it possesses excellent balance and provides superb control. With a smaller head than most beginner’s racquets, it is also very maneuverable, allowing you to perform complicated swings. At $150, it’s on the pricey side, but serious tennis players looking for an easy-to-handle racquet with the required control will find it a valuable choice.
