FIND YOUR RACKET

CHOOSING THE RIGHT TENNIS RACKET

Whether you are new to the sport, a recreational player, or a seasoned pro looking for the perfect combination of power, spin and control, there will always be a Wilson racket that would fit your needs.
Let Wilson be your guide to finding the perfect tennis racket!

With an ever-evolving game, Wilson understands that there are many different types of players, which is why we have broken the racket lines to focus on four specific performance benefits – Precision, Feel, Power and Control.

Once you have picked a benefit, the next step would be going in to the minute details in the form of weight and your racket’s head size that can take your game to the next level!

SELECTING THE RIGHT TENNIS RACKET FOR YOUR SKILL LEVEL

Understanding the two elements of racket construction – Head size and weight.

A racket that is too heavy can incur arm, shoulder or wrist discomfort and will slow down your stroke.
A racket's head size, which is measured in square inches, will have a direct effect on racket performance. Larger head sizes are classified as oversize.

LEVEL OF PLAY

For Beginner Tennis Players

For those who are new to the sport, we recommend choosing a racket that has a lighter weight, and bigger head size, also known as an “oversized” racket. This makes the racket more forgiving, and would allow new players to get used to the fundamental strokes without wearing out their arm.

When choosing a tennis racket for a beginner, here are a few things to look out for:

  • Oversized head size, ideally 105 sq inches.
  • Lighter Racket Frame, ideally 250g unstrung
  • Suggested: Check out the Wilson Ultra

For Intermediate Tennis Players

For intermediate players wanting to evolve their game, we recommend reducing their racket head size, and increasing the weight of their rackets. These players have their tennis muscles developed and are able to generate their own pace.

When choosing a tennis racket for intermediate players, here are a few things to look out for:

  • Oversized or Midplus head size, preferably about 100 sq inches.
  • Medium weight frame, racket weight of about 280g to 300g unstrung.
  • Less powerful frames, in exchange for more control.
  • Suggested: Wilson’s Clash or Blade series.

For Advanced Tennis Players

Advanced players should use “mid-sized” rackets, which gives them the ultimate control, feel and precision to confidently go for their shots.

When choosing a tennis racket for advanced players, here are some things to look out for:

  • Midplus to Midsize Head size, racket head size of 97 or 98 sq inches.
  • Medium to heavy weight frame
  • Suggested: Wilson Blade or Pro Staff
Balance measures its weight distribution.
Maximise key performance benefits by combining certain properties of specific materials.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER CONSIDERATIONS?

Balance, whether the racket is head light or head heavy can play a factor in one’s gameplay. Similarly, the material composition of rackets across our range of rackets differs too.

THE GENERAL RULE OF THUMB

When choosing your next racket, always consider these three elements that would affect your power and control: headsize, weight and string pattern
