How to Choose the Best Tennis Racket for Your Game

Whether you're a beginner or a competitive player, the right tennis racket can elevate your performance. At RADION, we break down the key factors to help you find your perfect match.

1. Racket Weight & Balance

  • Lightweight (250-280g) → Better maneuverability, ideal for beginners and players with shorter swings.

  • Mid-weight (280-310g) → Balanced power and control, great for intermediate players.

  • Heavyweight (310g+) → More power and stability, suited for advanced players with strong swings.

  • Head-Heavy → Extra power (good for baseline players).

  • Head-Light → Better control (ideal for serve-and-volley players).

2. Racket Head Size

  • Midsize (85-95 sq in) → Precision for advanced players.

  • Midplus (95-105 sq in) → Best all-around choice for most players.

  • Oversize (105+ sq in) → Larger sweet spot, forgiving for beginners.

3. String Pattern

  • Open (16x18/16x19) → More spin and power.

  • Dense (18x20) → Better control and durability.

4. Grip Size

Measure from your palm’s crease to the tip of your ring finger:

  • Grip 1 (4 ⅛") – Small hands (junior/small adults)

  • Grip 2-3 (4 ¼"-4 ⅜") – Average adults

  • Grip 4+ (4 ½" +) – Larger hands
