Tennis Racket

This tennis racket is built from graphite, and its weight of 285g unstrung sits just right in the sweet spot. It's not heavy enough to tire out your arm by the third set, and it's not so light that it'll start bouncing around in your hand with every powerful shot. It's a weight that works for most players, from beginners all the way to those playing several times a week.

The head is 100 square inches, which means a large, forgiving hitting area. When the ball doesn't catch the center perfectly, you still get a decent shot instead of a ball that gets stuck in the net. Anyone coming back to the court after a break, or someone still dialing in their technique, will feel the difference in the first hour.

The racket comes pre-strung out of the box with synthetic string, so there's no need to rush off and get it strung before your first match. Just open it up and get out to meet the ball.
