(m)\n\nIt depends on your game. If you are a serve and volleyer, a smaller, light head will be best. If you are a base-liner, an oversized, heavy head is appropriate. If you have tennis elbow, you need a flexible racket. For more power, use a stiffer racket. Or if you have enough power, try a more flexible racket. The best answer, though, is to demo the racket before buying it to be sure you're comfortable with it.

The raquet you have a link to at TW is for advanced players, you can buy it, if you want to demo it you should try and go to a club. It's best for faster swinging players.\nThe Wilson Pink HOPE is for anyone who plays tennis mainly for fun.\nIf you are an advanced player, you best to go online at TW, and if possible, you should try to demo the raquets before you buy them, so you know the feel of it.\nMake sure that you keep the same grip size of your raquet, even if you are a beginner, it is extremley important, if you don't, you can get tennis elbow, and in some cases you would have to get surgery.

On Personal Preference:\n\n1 Federer - predictable but groundbreaking, and a nicer person than most #1s\n\n2 Nadal - partly for being able to pose a Big Problem for Federer, and partly for instinctively getting how and how not to act to be great for the sport\n\n3 Nalbandian - another Federer question, plus he tends to be a level or two better at bigger events\n\n4 Davydenko - for apparently being injury-proof; he may play more tournaments in a row than some others will all year\n\n5 Blake - great story, very nice person, just needs not to go walkabout in deciding sets\n\n6 Roddick - the swagger leaves me cold, though I can appreciate why others might like it.\n\n7 Robredo - has his moments; a bit of a dark horse\n\n8 Ljubicic - a little like the pre-major-winning Lendl; maybe a bit of a whiner?\n\n1 Dementieva - must have enormous internal fortitude to get such results with such a non-asset of a serve and gets huge points for her social sensitivity in her US Open finals appearance\n\n2 Mauresmo - probably the gentlest soul among all the top players, and has really paid her dues in many respects to deserve her success\n\n3 Henin-Hardenne - glorious game, incredible competitive fire; loses points for questionable sportsmanship and too-blatant selfishness\n\n4 Clijsters - the opposite side of the JHH coin; capable of a much better resume and refreshingly open about valuing friends over trophies, but a little too content with one major title\n\n5 Kuznetsova - for making Martina Navratilova look like a genius\n\n6 Sharapova - love the intensity, maybe too marketable, MAJOR mandatory deduction for the pornographic grunting\n\n7 Hingis - great thoughtfulness on court, but lost a lot of points for making derogatory remarks about Mauresmo years ago (as well as getting into verbal fights with Richard Williams) and doesn't seem to have grown much; dating her doesn't seem to have done much good for Magnus Norman or Sergio Garcia\n\n8 Petrova - probably capable of improving, but fell at the first big hurdle

It depends what you do at the gym.  Tennis is awesome aerobic exercise that burns lots of calories - more so than weight training, generally speaking.  It is also better than treadmill and bikes...

I would say Pete in every way, he had it all good serve, good for hand, good backhand, good volley and most of all brains for the game. He can not be compared with any player playing today. I remember my nation player Goran Ivanisevic after loosing his second final of Wimbledon from Sampras saying: I will win Wimbledon when Pete stops playing. And that was exactly what happened in 2001.

I have a really nice Head racquet I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods. It's one of their Titanium Light series. It was only $60.

The United States Tennis Association used to publish a rating guide....you used be able to closely rate yourself.....unless you are from Corpus Christi, Tx....all of their players fall at least 1-2 tiers from their actual ability.....and they win all the time....."go figure"....seriously, haven't played tennis competively....could never seem to get passed the Corpus district......check with USTA...maybe they have a web site and might have the ratings on it.......really don"t worry........unless you have been playing a really long time the type of racket does"t matter.....get a good reasonably priced one and then after you really get serious or better then you can think about upgrading.....besides, by that time you may have a "Nike" or "Wilson" endorsement contract and you will have to play with what they furnish you......"good luck on the tour"

I would have to say either the Nike Breathe Free, Adidas Baricade 2, or the K-Swiss Ultrascendor.  Most advanced players claim you really can't go wrong with any of these three, so take your pick.

It is very difficult to draw any conclusion without seeing the entire games of both players.  Having said that, there is no substitute for experience.  Court positioning and learning to move in tandem with your partner is the keys to good doubles play.  Return of serve and good volley skills are a very important element to put pressure on your opponents.  Also a serve which can be placed well can make for easier poaching opportunities.  If I was looking for a doubles partner as you are, I would consider 3 things.  1. Which player is more likely to make fewer errors and give a stronger effort to win on court.  2. Which player has the most potential to improve on his skills by having a stronger work ethic.  and 3. Is any of them close to graduating/or is a better communicator and willing to accept suggestion.  Sometimes its better to look beyond the player and focus on the intangibles to make a stronger team.  Hope this helps and you are able to make the right choice.

Fact: Wilson is the best manufacturer of tennis rackets. They have been on the market for oh so very long and have rackets for every different style and level of player\n\nOpinion: As a tennis player of 12 years and a current college player i have found that Babolott has produced a magnificent line of rackets. They are currently being used by thousands of college and professional players across the World

raquet would be the original English spelling, racket is the American twist on it. But, both are acceptable.

My first racket was a $3 Spaulding beauty (1974). \n\nHaving developed tendinitis at the age of 19 so severely my arm would not swing when I walked,  an orthopedic surgeon gave me a series of 6-7 cortisone shots.  \n\nIn addition he asked me to take up the game(s) of tennis and/or racquetball with the instruction of  - the more I use my shoulder the greater chance I have my tendinitis would not return.\n\nThe severely excruciating pain of the tendinitis was certainly a motivator.  Never having any interest in tennis previously, I watched players on TV and copied their strokes as hit up against a school building in a small Nevada town.  \n\nWith only 400 people in the town, there were no tennis courts so the wall was my only competition.  During many, many hundreds of hours, I would improve my skills playing make believe matches against Borg, Connors, Stan Smith, Nasty,  and the other icons of the era.  I did this every day in the desert heat and cold for over 2 years before ever stepping on a tennis court of any kind.\n\nToday, after just over 30 years, and without wanting to bore you any further, I have that doctor to thank for a free college education, a case full of dusty yet still meaningful trophies, great health, and a lot of wonderful friends.\n\n - Thanks again Doc, you changed my life.
