Tennis Racquets - - - Which has the biggest sweet spot?
101824
The largest sweetspot for a racket would probably be the Weed superoversize 125-130 sq. inches.  The Volkl Catapult series also has a very generous sweetspot.  Wilson makes a whole line of oversize rackets that have very large sweetspots. Hope this helps.

Virtually every racket company "brand" makes frames for all levels of tennis.  The most lucrative segment of the market is oddly enough the beginner/elderly market.  Most beginners associate price with performance and the elderly are looking for "game improvement" frames which adds power to their shots and are arm friendly.  Everything else is just straight marketing.  The best brand for advanced players has recently been babolat since they have gained a significant segment of the market.  However the best in terms of quality control by making a consistent product is either volkl or yonex.  Having said that, every company makes a quality line of rackets that are appealing to every level of player.  The strings play just as important part as the frame does as far as performance.

After seeing your question, i immediately thought of a place to find the Heah Ti-S4 tennis racquet -- eBay! eBay has about ten listings for the exact racquet that you are looking for! Ranging in prices from $10.00 to $65.00, I'm sure you won't have a problem finding what you need! I don't mean to sound like an eBay spokesperson, but they will most likely have what you are looking for. I had a lot of fun answering your question!

Tennis racquets are of a somewhat oval shape while racquetball racquet are much shorter and have a flattened top.\n\nPicture of a tennis racquet:\nhttp://www.ideal.co.nz/site/ideal/images/stickandwin/19_Ultra_LT_Tennis_Racket_WITRCS510.jpg\n\nPicture of a racquetball racket:\nhttp://www.racquetworld.com/merchant2/graphics/product_pictures/racquets/triadt170sm.jpg\n\nWhile a tennis racquet could be used in a game of racquetball, a real racquetball racquet should be used if you have any desire to pursure the game any further. \n\nGo ahead and play a game of racquetball with your friend using tennis racquets, but beware that prolonged use of them in a racquetball game could damage them. Racquetballs are much heavier than a tennis ball and could cause frame fractures and/or damage to the strings. \n\nIt's ok to improvise, but use the equipment designed for the game if you do it frequently.\n\nEDIT:In response to the ball part, you can use a tennis ball if you would like, if the place where you go to play allows it. My local YMCA did not allow tennis balls in the raquetball courts. Again, don't use a tennis ball if you are playing with people other than your friends, as a tennis ball would not be allowed on any sort of competitive level.\n\nNot your question, but you shouldn't do the reverse - that is use a raquetball on a tennis court. The surface of a (hard court) tennis court is very rough and would damage the rubber raquetball very quickly.

I recommend going to a local pro shop and working with someone to find an appropriate racquet to match your physical characteristics and skill level.  You can often "demo" (try out) a few different frames at a time, allowing you to get a feel for the different technologies and vendors.\nSecond, enroll in a group lesson at a local tennis facility.  This is a low-cost way to be properly introduced to the game.  I highly discourage starting to play without getting professional instruction.  You will naturally develop bad habits that are nearly impossible to break once established.

There are several good ones. I personally like the Titleist SoLo and the Nike SuperSoft. A lot of people like the Maxfli Noodle. All of these have a soft feel and good distance.

You can spell racquet either way.  As for a good beginner frame, you are looking for an oversize.  They are lightweight and the oversize head helps you on off-center shots.  Oversize racquets range in price and you get what you pay for.  The more you spend, the more the racquet actually helps your shots (manufacturers spend more money to tweak the specs of a racquet to generate more control and power).  You should check out the Airflow 7, NothingButTennis has them.

Opinions are going to vary on which cues are best. In that price range I think Players,Lucasi,or Action would be good choices. Most cues will be available in 18oz and 13mm tips would be standard. I suggest going with a cue with a maple shaft, which all of the above would have. I'm not a fan of the cuetec, or scorpion cues with the graphite shaft. Each to his own I guess. Good luck.

Prince O3 Silver Oversize tennis racquet packs plenty of power, dampened and comfortable feel at impact and with generous sweetspot is forgiving from all areas of the court. \nThe open string pattern makes it spin friendly and at net this racquet offers a nice blend of power, stability and forgiveness. \nIt is suited for players who wants power.... I prefer this racquet

Good for power and control. But wilson racquets are really heavy. Try Prince, for a change?

Racquets are all different.  Even the same company makes a line of different racquets.  Your best bet is to go to a club and ask to demo a few.  Ask a local club pro to help you determine the best one for you.  See if they will go out and hit with you.  Just because I use a racquet does NOT mean it will do well for you.  The differing stiffnesses, weights and where the weight is located all effect how well a racquet plays.  If you get a head light racquet and you are a baseline player (seldom comes to the net) then you won't like the racquet.  If you are a net player then you don't want a racquet that is head heavy.  Take your time, demo a few and talk to a local pro about the specifics of your game before spending $100+ on a racquet you may not like.

Selecting the right tennis racquet for you depends upon your level of play. If you are a beginner, you should start with a power tennis racket . If you have been playing for a while, let's say for a year, you probably should opt for one which gives you more control. Regardless of your level of play, there is a third factor which a tennis player should be aware of: comfort. You should choose a tennis racquet  which fits your physique and level of play and thus you are most comfortable to play with. By choosing the right racket, you also avoid the pain associated with tennis elbow which incidentally afflicts almost 50% of all tennis players in America. So having the knowledge about raquets is important in ensuring that you have the right tennis equipment which will help you tremendously in your quest to be a better tennis player.\n\n\nFor the average player, a combination of power, control, and comfort is probably ideal. \n\nCategory 1: Power Tennis Racquets \n---------------------------------\nManufacturers usually indicate in their packaging or internet description what category the model that they are selling belongs. These racquets feature oversize to super-oversize heads, are lightweight (8-9.5 ounces), longer (27-29 inches), stiffer and are balanced head-heavy (or evenly balanced) to retain enough weight in the hitting zone. These are designed for players with shorter, slower swings and who want more zing and pop. \n\nCategory 2: Control Tennis Racquets \n-----------------------------------\nDenotes tennis racquets that would be used by professional and more advanced players. These models are typically heavier in weight (11.5-13+ ounces), have smaller heads (85-98), thinner, more flexible beams and are balanced head-light to allow for more maneuverability. The result is low-power and designed for players who provide their own power and prefer one that offers more control. Can be standard or extended length. \n\nCategory 3: ‘Tweener Tennis Racquets \n-------------------------------------\nThere are several models that offer a blend of features from power and control racquets. They are often lighter (9.5-11 ounces), balanced anywhere from slightly head-light to slightly head-heavy, have midplus (95-102 square inches) heads and are usually extended length (27.5-28 inches). These models offer low-medium to medium-high power and are most appealing to intermediate-advanced players, seeking enhanced maneuverability.

Hey It_girl, you're going to find that each person has their own preference for racquets. My preference is Wilson, but I admit that there are other brands that have good sticks as well (I also like Head and Babolot). That said, this is a question that is asked pretty frequently. Here's what I suggest:\n\nRULE #1: Don't buy a racquet before comparing it with others. Most tennis clubs and racquet stores will have some sort of demo program that will let you try out a variety of racquets for a few days for just a couple of bucks. Often, they'll let you put this money towards your futures purchase. If you're having a hard time finding a store that will let you demo a racquet, then check out the website included in the sources.\n\nRacquets come with different stiffness, weighting, stringing patterns and lengths. All that adds up to a lot of different choices and a lot of different feels. If you're a beginner, then you probably don't need to shell out much money yet for a racquet, just find something that feels good in your hand and use it until you want to try something new.\n\nIf you have loopy strokes and have no trouble adding your own power to your shots, then you want a racquet that isn't as stiff, and that is head-light--usually termed a control racquet. However, most of the population will find these racquets ill-suited for their skill. With that in mind, I'll mark some rules of thumb below to help you sort out the differences:\n\n1) Stiffness. The stiffer a racquet is, the more power it produces. You mentioned that your racquet isn't controllable. If you mean that you have a hard time keeping the ball in the court, then it's probably because your racquet is too stiff for your style of play.\n\n2) Weight. Heavier racquets are usually less stiff, because they allow you to generate more momentum behind the ball (as an analogy, think of the difference between a hammer and a sledge hammer; if a racquet has more weight to it, it can pack more of a punch). Most players will want a stick that falls in the middle of the pack to the light side.\n\n3) Head-heavy or head-light? Head-heavy racquets are usually those that allow you to generate more momentum (see #2). Pros will play with HH, while recreational will play with HL, because it requires less effort to hit the ball.\n\n4) Stringing patterns. Some racquest have more open stringing patterns while others have more dense patterns. You can judge by looking at how close together the strings are across the racquet face. Different patterns have a different feel and make it easier to apply spin and also give a larger sweet spot. You may want to see if you can find a pattern that feels better with your game.\n\n5) Lengths. Manufacturers make racquets that are an inch and a half longer than normal. These racquets give you more whip to your serves. Some people find them unweildy. I don't like playing with a longer stick, but you may.\n\n6) Feel. Each manufacturer has its own feel. I am a Wilson fan, because I love the feel of the racquet. You feel every aspect of the contact. I don't like Prince's feel, because it feels heavier and more dead to me, but that's just my opinion. Babolat racquets have a similar feel to Wilson. Try a bunch of manufacturers and find one that you like.\n\nAgain, demo a bunch of racquets (most sporting goods stores and tennis stores have a demo program; tennis warehouse has an online program that you may want to look into--I've included the link below). Don't buy anything unless you're sure that you like it enough to buy three.\n\nI hope that helps.
