Here are some basic pointers (all racquet head sizes in square inches):

  • Beginners (starting out playing tennis or play seldom): 100-115
  • Intermediate (play tennis once/twice a week, maybe more): 98-100
  • Advanced (play tennis 3+ times a week; enter tournaments or play in leagues): 90-100

The size of the racquet is only one of the many factors in choosing a tennis racquet, however. The weight is also a very important factor.

Some pointers for the weight of a tennis racquet:

  • Beginners: 10 oz. or less
  • Intermediate: 10 oz. - 11 oz.
  • Advanced**: 11 oz. or more

**Advanced players have very different tastes in racquet weights. Some prefer as low as 10.6 oz. while others may play ones that weigh 12 oz. or more.

What size tennis racquet works best?

The size of tennis racquet you choose is really a personal preference. Basically, tennis racquets come in a mid-size and oversize. The mid-size racquet has a smaller tennis face and less surface area of tennis strings. Mid-size racquets are more compact and usually lighter. They are easier to swing and move around quickly. Serve and volley type players often prefer the smaller mid-size racquet. An oversize racquet has a large surface area of tennis strings. This can make the racquet feel heavier and it is more difficult to swing the racquet around quickly. However, the "sweet" spot on the racquet is larger. The sweet spot is where you want the ball to hit your strings more maximum effectiveness. Players that hug the baseline tend to enjoy using an oversize racquet. You can always "demo" different racquets at your tennis club to see which size is best for you. Your tennis pro can also give you great reccomendations.
