Rackets a racket really. Just go to a shop and hold a few.

To me anyway, i am not a tennis player. I like squash though, light rackets are my fave.

Are Wilson the best? Make sure you orgasm groan after every strike of the ball.

[Danr]

I've heard a make called Prince are pretty good. Expensive anyway.

Theres always one funny f*cker ;) haha

il leave the orgasm groans to leeroy when his playing with kids

[Cal]

Haha I like the cut of your jib.

Seriously tho, Wilson ftw

[jonesyFX]

maybe, i'll see what others say ;)

[Robb]

I had the slazenger one that Tim Henman had. Hahaha how gay was I...

Buy one of those mini rubber tennis balls aswell for going in between the strings. They rock.

[Tupps]

Make it harder for yourself and use a 9 Iron

[pjm300]

head, prince, slazenger, wilson.

plenty of racket shops online, just see which is in your price range and has decent reviews.

If your just starting out get something light, I only use Babolats and have about 4 lol. So i would reccomend them.

Have a look at www.pwp.com (http://www.pwp.com) and http://www.prodirecttennis.com/home.asp they have some great offerrs on.

Babolat tennis rackets ftw!

Never been a fan of wilson rackets, ive always had to re-tighten the strings as they losen really easily,
Babolat you cant go wrong once you tighten they stay tightend alot longer,

TBH though dude, it really doesnt matter on the racket all depends on the strings, how you like t play, whether ya prefer to tighten your strings or not,
Most rackets ya pick up off the shelve in places like jjb are all made the same, usually slackened strings, so if your just using a racket just to knock a ball bout down the local tennis court wouldnt matter,

[SAJosh]

Can't beat my £5.99 dunlop one from sports world sale ;) .. it's light as fook but it's a racket at end of the day but I only play once a week for fun if that + it was £40 cheaper than the rest lol.

[Westcoast_Rose]

go for a babolat son !

yea i see what your saying mate, its not just knocking about its at a club so would need something decent, ive got a prince one at the minute that ive had for about a year, that was 40 quid from about 80ish, its still a good one but its getting abit nackered now and just really fancy a new one lol

any links for a god babolat racket? something reasonable though price wise!

[Viper]

babolat, head, wilson, dunlop, slazenger etc

theyre all good. but im not up to speed with which models are best though.

i have 2 Dunlops. love them. not the lightest, but i like that as you can get some more momentum behind the ball on serves etc.

will have to give you a game sometime if my shoulder ever recovers :(

Sorry mate im not too sure where to buy em from online, i used to order my rackets at my local tennis academy through my coach,

Google search babolat tennis rackets mate im sure ya will find summit

[Jazz]

I'm familier with rackets as my younger brother is a LTA endorsed player, he's just come back from playing a tournament in France.

Wilson N-Code's are decent, we've got 2 or 3 kicking about, the one on the link is a more basic model but still should be good, Babolat Aerostrike is also very good , as is the Head Liquidmetal series.

[Chris_F]

Ive got the babolat aero storm racket, custom strings, tension set to 60lbs and its perfect

[Chris_F]

the links grantlowery gave aint too bad, have a look on there.
