HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT RACQUET These are not hard and fast rules for buying a tennis racquet as much as they are general guidelines. Like buying a car or a smart phone, sometimes you start shopping and you look at one thing, only to end up buying something completely different. We’ll take a look at the main categories that differentiate one racquet from the next and analyze various pros and cons. LENGTH THROAT
GRIP HEAD
HEAD SIZE At one point in time, racquet head sizes ranged from about 85 square inches all the way to 135 MID MIDPLUS OVERSIZE square inches. These days, the vast majority of racquets are in the 97 to 105-square-inch range. Larger Head size = Greater Power and More Experts have different theories as to why this Stability. Smaller Head size = Smaller Sweet Spot and has happened, but we believe it is because the More Nimble. average player is looking for the best balance of forgiveness, maneuverability, and stability. Provided your swing speed is the same with both, a larger racquet head will produce more power than a smaller racquet head. For example a 95’’ racquet head will produce much less pop than a 110’’. 85-94
95-105
106 - 118
STRING PATTERN This refers to the number of main (up and down) strings and the number of cross (side to side) strings. The most common patterns are 16×18, 16×19, 16×20, and 18×20. You will hear debates about “dense pattern” versus “open pattern” racquets. Dense refers to very small spaces between the strings, while an open pattern has more separation between the strings. A good way to remember is More strings (dense pattern) = More control. Less strings (open pattern) = More power and spin. 24

WEIGHT Over the years, racquets have shifted away from the 12+ ounce variety and have found a median weight around 10 – 11.5 ounces. • More Head heavy • Less maneuverability • Least stability • Heavier swing weight Again, this is in pursuit of the best combo of forgiveness, maneuverability, and stability. Please note: racquet weight cannot be easily reduced. Lighter is not always better, but neither is heavier. Imagine Juan Martin Del Potro blasting a forehand cross court at 102 MPH and trying to return it with a sub 8 ounce racquet. It doesn’t take a physics degree to know that is not going to go well.The best choice is a racquet that is stable enough to handle pace, but light enough for you to still get your racquet moving in time to strike the ball. - 10 oz
10-11 oz
12 oz+
FLEX (STIFFNESS) This generally refers to a racquet’s “feel”. This one is a little tough because much of “feel” is personal preference. A more flexible racquet feels like the • More control • More power • More flexible • Transmits more ball is staying on the strings longer (we are talking • Comfortable feel vibration to wrist nano-seconds). Benefits to highly flexible frames include shock absorption, increased control and better comfort. Usually racquets with thinner beams (20-22mm) will be more flexible frames, and racquets with thicker beams will have be a firmer “feel”. Stiffer racquets will not flex much, and are often described as crisp and solid. A stiff racquet will also transmit more shock to the arm than a more flexible one. On our website you will see an RA (stiffness rating) for every racquet sold at Tennis Express. Racquets around the 70 RA and up will be quite firm, and racquets from 60-65 (and lower) RA will be softer and more flexible. Racquet stiffness will decrease slightly over time, but you can’t change a racquet’s stiffness. 45 - Flexible
75 - Firm
SWING WEIGHT This describes how much effort is required to 290 295-325 330+ swing the racquet. Players like Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic have very high swing • Easier to Swing • Harder to Swing weights, well above 350! Most racquets fit in the 300-330 range. The higher the number, the more cumbersome it is to get moving. While a racquet’s swing weight can be increased through customization, it cannot be reduced, so be thoughtful about how comfortable you are with the swing weight before purchasing. Buying Tip: Racquets longer than 27 inches (standard) will have an increase in swing weight, so if you want a longer length it will feel heavier. Call 1.800.833.6615 or 713.435.4800 |

BALANCE When you pick up a racquet for the first time, without even swinging it you will begin to notice its balance. Imagine a baseball bat or hammer. These are extreme examples of a head-heavy Head Heavy Head Light balance. Now grab the hammer at the head, and Increases Stability Adds note all of the weight is now in your hand. This is Maneuverability and Momentum an example of a head-light balance. A household item like a broom or a rake has a fairly even balance. A head-light racquet is easy to move quickly and is a great option for players who spend most of their time up at the net. Conversely, the headheavy balance is more cumbersome at the net, but provides a little more help from the back of the court (where you have additional reaction time). Superlight racquets are often slanted towards head heavy to get power, whereas middle-weight or heavy racquets are more evenly balanced or head-light for maneuverability.
RACQUET LENGTH Most adult tennis racquets are 27 inches (68.58 cm) long. Racquet length cannot be increased* and though it can be decreased, this will substantially change the balance. If you are interested in modifications to length, ask one of our USRSA Master Racquet Technicians at Tennis Express. The maximum length for a racquet is 29 inches but because they are so hard to maneuver you won’t see many of them. The most common “longer” racquet is probably in the 27.2-27.6 inch range. They provide a little bit more reach without being impossible to wield. As for the Red, Orange and Green ball divisions, 23’’ is the max length for Red ball, 25’’ is the max length for orange ball, and 27’’ is the max length for green ball. > 27”

GRIP SIZE Find your ideal size by measuring the distance between your palm’s middle crease to the tip of your ring finger. Typical adult grip sizes run from 4 1/8” to 4 5/8” with 4 3/8” being the most popular. Remember, you can always apply an overgrip, so shoot small if you’re in between sizes.
Most racquets come with a black or white synthetic grip built for comfort. You can purchase a different thickness of grip if you want to feel the bevels a little bit more or increase the size. Some players enjoy the feedback of the old-school leather grip despite its rather firm feel. Leather grips are also thinner and heavier (by several grams) than synthetic grips, so they are a good way to increase the racquet’s weight if you so desire.
Remember this is the “Golden Age of the Demo” and you can try just about any racquet under the sun with the Tennis Express Demo program. Don’t be afraid to try a few frames out before making your purchase! 26

CHOOSING THE RIGHT
TENNIS BAG
Every tennis player knows how essential the perfect tennis bag is to their gear collection. Whether you’re a novice player or a regular tournament competitor, you’re sure to find a functional bag at Tennis Express. Here’s a guide to determining the right type of tennis bag to fit your needs.
3-Pack
The 3 pack is perfect for the occasional tennis player or beginner who is just getting a feel for the game. In a 3-pack you’ll have one main compartment big enough to accommodate up to 3 racquets with some room for clothes and some tennis accessories. There’s also 1-2 exterior zippered pockets used for smaller personal items as well as a single grab handle or shoulder strap for carrying.
6-Pack For more advanced players who like to carry a few backup racquets, as well as additional tennis gear, the 6-pack may be the most convenient size. You’ll have one main compartment to hold 2-3 racquets, as well as a large adjacent compartment to hold an extra pair of shoes, a change of clothes, snacks and a few other items. Some bags will include thermal lining and backpack style straps but that is more common with higher-end tennis bags. On the outside you’ll have 1-2 small zippered compartments to hold your personal valuables.
Multi Racquet Bags
Tournament, junior and frequent adult players will love the 8-15 pack options. These bags usually feature three large compartments capable of holding many racquets at a time along with other key tennis essentials. 1-2 compartments feature thermal lining insulation to help protect from extreme temperatures and there are 2-4 outside pockets to store smaller items. Backpack straps are very common with these bags so they can be carried easily even as you add more weight.
Backpack or Tote
Backpacks and totes are the most popular tennis bags commonly used today. Both options give you great freedom to use it for tennis or other everyday activities. Higher-end backpacks will incorporate top-of-the-line technologies and feature room for 1-2 racquets, shoes, clothing, and small accessories. Totes can be functional, practical and fashionable. They feature multiple pockets for storage with eye-catching designs and simple straps for carrying. Call 1.800.833.6615 or 713.435.4800 |

A GUIDE TO FINDING THE RIGHT
TENNIS STRING Natural Gut
Natural gut has been around for ages and continues to be the most premium string available. It offers the best tension maintenance durability and playability on the market. Heavy top spinners and string breakers are using natural gut in a blend with a co-polyester mono-filament to improve the durability. Though natural gut strings are the most expensive, if you are not a frequent string breaker, they make a lot of sense because their performance is secondto-none. Natural gut offers more energy return than any other string and is the most arm friendly string around. Natural Gut can be strung much tighter than polyester or synthetic string and still remain comfortable. Back in the day, Pete Sampras would string his racquets with gut at around 70 pounds!
Synthetic Gut Most commonly, synthetic guts use a solid central core and a layer or two of filaments to enhance response and durability. Synthetic guts are usually cheapest in price, and offer a good middle ground between natural gut softness, and co-polyester firmness. Because of the solid center core, synthetic gut strings are tougher and hold tension better than multifilament co-polyester constructions. Some examples are HEAD Synthetic Gut PPS, Wilson Synthetic Gut Power, and Gamma Synthetic Gut with Wearguard. Because they are more durable than multi-filament string, synthetic gut makes a longer lasting hybrid pairing with a durable co-polyester string. Players strings can be at a higher tensions for a bit firmer and controlled feel or on the lower end for more power and depth. 28

Multifilament Second in terms of comfort to only natural gut, Multifilament strings are made up of hundreds and even thousands of microfilaments. They incorporate the use of Polyurethane for strong elasticity, and control at higher tensions. At lower tensions, multifilaments offer high levels of power, and are a great way to soften a stiffer frame. If you have experienced tennis elbow, or a sore wrist after playing, multifilaments can help.
Monofilament The market is overflowing right now with mono-filament co-polyester strings. They offer impressive durability for players who take big swings at the ball and break strings quickly. These strings are not for everyone though. Because the material is so firm, it is difficult to get the strings to move unless you can really produce consistent racquet head speed. If you can’t move the strings, then polyester is largely not doing anything positive for you. Something else to consider about co-polyesters, their inherent stiffness lets players string with lower tensions and maintain control. Though they will not break quickly, co-polyester strings lose tension faster than any other string type, resulting in frequent restringing. Most brands recommend at least a 10% reduction in string tension when moving from a nylon string to polyester. Some newer generation polyesters even recommend a 12% to 15% reduction due to the evolution of the string material.
Also on the market are several monofilament string options available that are polyester free. Some examples are Babolat Origin, Diadem Evolution and Zyex monofilament Monogut ZX which are both monofilament polyamides and provide a firm crisp response but not in the realm of polyester.

TYPES OF
TENNIS SHOES
As tennis continues to evolve, we’re witnessing some of the best athletes the sport has ever seen. This is partly because of the strides tennis shoe manufacturers have made regarding their equipment. We’ve identified four primary categories of tennis shoes to help you improve your game, and make an informed decision when purchasing your next pair: Lightweight, Durability, Value, and Hybrid.
Lightweight Also known as Matchday tennis shoes, Lightweight tennis shoes are breathable, responsive, and yes, light. This is achieved by cutting out as much excess weight as possible, and incorporating lightweight tennis shoe technologies. It is this combination that results in a low-tothe-court, dynamic experience that encourages explosive movements in all directions. While these shoes are reinforced in key areas for necessary support, they are not the best day-to-day tennis shoes. Overall, if you need a shoe built for speed, the lightweight category is your best bet.
Hybrid Hybrid tennis shoes represent the shoes that don’t naturally fit into one of the three categories previously discussed. A great example are the high-performance, all-around tennis shoes that fall somewhere between Lightweight and Durability shoes. This category is a bit newer, and can be attributed to the strides brands have made in recent years regarding material development and testing. There are also better-performing Value shoes that mimic high-end Lightweight and Durability models. 30

Durability Serious tennis players of all levels log countless hours on the court in order to perfect their games. These endless drills and exercises require a shoe that can withstand a good beating. To meet these demands, tennis shoe manufacturers offer high-end Durability shoes. These shoes are bulkier than their lightweight counterparts, but offer vastly superior shock absorption, support, and cushioning as a result. They are much more resistant to wear and tear, and typically come with an outsole warranty. The overall purpose of these shoes is to assist with highlevel practice and training. They tend to feature a number of technologies engineered to keep your feet and joints healthy, and have become lighter and more streamlined over the years. Athletes can expect Durability shoes to make use of more supportive uppers and midsoles, as well as thicker outsoles.
Value Value shoes act as a more cost-friendly alternative to the industry’s leading models. They contain fewer and often older technologies, but are a viable option for recreational and club players who don’t go out and hit very often. In some cases, you’ll see that brands combine Lightweight and Durability shoe characteristics to create cost-effective, all-around tennis shoes. These models make excellent entry-level shoes. Another way to find a good value is to search for out-ofseason colorways from leading tennis shoe manufacturers. These can sometimes be picked up at surprisingly low price points.
At the end of the day, we all have different preferences when it comes to the shoes we wear on the court, but with so many shoes out there, we hope this guide has helped you understand your options. Call 1.800.833.6615 or 713.435.4800 |
