Buying Your First Racket Without Overthinking It

Once you are playing weekly, hire rackets stop making sense.

Shape

Round. Bigger sweet spot, more forgiving, easier on the arm.

Weight

Between 355 and 370 grams for most players.

Core

Soft EVA. More comfort and control while your technique settles.

Budget

There is no need to spend more than a hundred and fifty pounds on a first racket.
