Tennis Warehouse are selling Head racquets for less than $100, and these are the sale versions of what used to be their top of the line racquets from maybe two years ago. However, as others have suggested, you can get a nice racquet without paying that full price. The BMW will be more comfortable (though it probably accelerates much better), but it can't make you into a great driver though you'll probably be happier driving it. I'd say it's like driving, say, a BMW vs. Some of the cheaper racquets feel like metal, where graphite has a more solid feel, and some of the cheaper racquets are ultra-light, which means I can't swing as easily.
It's not so much the price, but the player's comfort with the racquet. Similarly, when Roger tested the oversized racquets (the precursor to his current racquets), he also lost to people he doesn't lose to. When Djokovic changed racquets to Head, he struggled a little with wins. They would, of course, be world class, but they could drop a fair bit in ranking. If you have the money (and I assume the question is being asked because you don't), I would suggest buying it and finding out, or borrowing it and finding out.Īs far as hypothetical, Djokovic and Nadal would even look different playing with each other's racquets which are both pricey. This is probably the easiest thing you can do that will improve the performance of a racket. Your hand-sweat will make your racket deflect on each shot if you don't get a decent grip. With a nicer racket you can make the strings, weights, and grips exactly how you like.Įdit: Oh! And even if you decide to go with a cheapo Walmart racket, make sure you buy a grip (you can get them less than $5). The strings and restringing fee would be almost the value of it. I've done restringing (when I was younger), and I don't think I would even want to try to restring a $30 racket. In any case, the real value in nicer rackets is that you can customize the strings. If you don't, then at least you haven't invested too much. But since you are a 'noob' (as you say), don't sweat it. If you have played with better rackets, you will find it painful to go back to a crap racket.
But if you are a new player, then you won't notice. On the high end you can spend $2000 for headphones that are even slightly better.Ī $30 Walmart racket is playing with a piece of shit.
Or you can buy $150 headphones that are great. You can get $15 headphones that sound like shit. This subreddit discusses all levels of tennis, from tour professionals to recreational players.
