Hi Raigoki! Welcome to PTO! rock_it_man is a member of a tennis club somewhere in lagro. You can PM him. Is it near your place? As regards tips in choosing a racket, kindly search the entries made by racketwiz. He has very informative inputs on this subject matter.

hi robee - i have quoted below racketwiz' post from "New Tech Rackets?" topic. hope this helps. There’s really no such thing as a good or bad racquet, per se. One player’s super stick can be another player’s walking stick. For example, reviews hail the new Federer KFactor racquet as the best thing since sliced bread. Is it a good racquet? For certain players, it is. For me, it just doesn’t work.
Your strokes, skill level and other physical and technical factors determine the type of racquet you should be playing with. I would often advice against buying a racquet based on marketing hype, and racquet reviews are good for informational purposes only. The only way you can determine if a racquet works for you is to demo it. Without it, your decision will be based on speculations and guess work. More often than not, you could be spending money on sticks that would end up languishing at the bottom of your bag.
I see a lot of players clamoring after the newest and greatest $200 hi-tech sticks, then I remember Cedric Pioline getting to the US Open finals with an aluminum stick you can buy for $39.99 at Kmart.
If you’re not that experienced yet, I would suggest getting an affordable racquet that’s medium weight, oversized and stiff. The racquet’s brand or model is irrelevant. The medium weight gives some heft to your strokes without taxing your arm; the oversized head is more forgiving on off-center hits; and the stiff frame gives you some power and directional control. When your skill level rises to the point where your strokes are long and fast, you can generate your own power, and are consistent in hitting the general area of your racquet’s sweetspot, then you’re ready for a racquet upgrade.

try mo yang badminton shoes mo sa tennis court. kung komportable ka naman while playing then siguro okay lang. iwas ka lang sa running shoes kasi baka ma-injure ka lalo na sa lateral movements. mataas kasi sa heel part ang running shoes at mataas ang tendency para ka matapilok. cross-training shoes pwede pa. but i hope you get to buy a tennis shoes of your choice soon. |
