Best overall tennis racket for beginners
Babolat (along with Wilson and Head) is one of the Big Three brands we heard about. This racket from its Pure Drive series got the most recommendations by far, with six of our experts telling us it’s a fantastic beginner’s racket.
Also, is a lighter or heavier tennis racket better?
Some basic concepts – a heavy racket is more powerful, more stable and transmits less shock than a lighter racket (all other things being equal). A lighter racket is more maneuverable and thus, a player is able to swing it faster.
What should I look for when buying a tennis racquet?
When choosing a racket, there are three elements which affect power and control: headsize, weight, and string pattern.
- Larger Headsize = More Power; Smaller Headsize = More Control.
- Lighter Racket = More Power; Heavier Racket = More Control.
- Open Stringbed = More Power; Denser Stringbed = More Control.
Which is better pure drive or pure strike?
We’ve found they have a more flexible feel and offer better feedback than the Pure Aeros and Pure Drives. Beginners will want to start by looking at the Pure Strike Team as it is the lightest, and easiest to swing model in the line up.
Is Babolat Pure Drive stiff?
More importantly, to increase the comfort in this traditionally very stiff line of racquets, there is also SWX Pure Feel, a viscoelastic rubber between the carbon layers of the racquet.
