Midwest Sports’ unique racquet selector allows you to name a range of qualifiers, such as weight, balance, head size and length, along with a wide variety of brands. Then, the selector produces a list of excellent tennis racquets that meet your qualifications. We offer a huge selection of brand name, discount tennis racquets to accommodate every level and style of play. Because a tennis racquet is perhaps the most important component to a great game, we suggest that all of our customers ask themselves one simple question before purchasing a racquet: Are you looking for power or control?
When buying a racquet, the first thing you must decide is whether you want one that will provide you with power, control or a blend of the two. If you are looking to add power to your game, go with a racquet that weighs between 8 and 10 ounces, has an oversize head measuring at least 110 square inches (which will give you more power and improve your chances of making good contact with the ball, due to a larger sweet spot).
If you're an advanced player who can generate your own juice on the court, it's a different story. You're looking for more control, and you can get it with a racquet that's heavier (more than 10.5 ounces) and has a head size measuring 90 to100 square inches (mid/mid plus). You can also select balanced head light to retain control and maneuverability.
If you're an intermediate player, try a tennis racquet that offers a blend of power and control, falling between the heavy, thin-beamed control racquets and the lighter and bigger power sticks. These racquets are considered “tweener” tennis racquets. They typically weigh anywhere between 9.5 and 10.5oz and have a head size of 95 to105 square inches (mid-plus). The balance point is usually even balance to slightly head light and are usually extended in length 27.5 plus.
