What racket should i buy i'am just a beginner and i am using a yonex beginner racket(B-560) i am just 13 yrs.old. i just want cheap but quality racket please include prices in dollars or in pesos if you know. THANK YOU.
u can use yonex mp23, it's a good racket for beginners, at least some people say so.. quite cheap around $35 here in Indonesia... i will be easy to adjust for you.
your current racquet is good for begginer use, any racquet is good for begginers but dont spend your money on the top end ones, it wont help, their unforgiving racquets and are much harder to use. you can use the mp23 like someone suggested, its a good racquet and very durable.
If you think your current racket is way too heavy, then any all graphite racket from a reputable brand (not necessarily Yonex) can do. This way, you save most of the $$$ on training or shoes (which is the most important factor in equipment, I think).
i think those $10 Wilson racquets that u can pick up from any Walmart will be sufficient. They're not as heavy ass as those other cheap racquets. Due to the cheap material, the head of the racquet will be distorted after awhile. Also, be wary of the slippery original grip.
For a beginner, a heavy racket is best. That's why most cheaper rackets are heavy, and the special short racket made for 5 years olds are also heavy. They are heavy for a good reason. Once the power in a beginner has developed, then a lighter racket can be used.
I don't agree. The main reason that beginner rackets are heavy is due to the material (profit vs. cost) concern. Also, these rackets are build more for durability (e.g. kid's racket), as the beginners / kids usually don't treat equipment nicely, as the more competitive level of players. The playability is usually being ignored for most of such products.
Do beginners care and know what playability is ? After playing for 22 months, I still have no idea what playability is. If profit is the main concern on the cheap rackets, surely making them lighter with less material would be more profitable ? Beginners can't swing very fast. Increased weight is one of the main things that can help them.
Best racket for beginners, muscle power 28, i still use mine sometimes and its better thn my nanospeed! either that or a 66 for more of a higher level player
Lighter racquets don't use less material, they use the same amount of lighter but still structurally strong material, which means it costs more then just some cheap and heavy metal used in the really basic racquets. And for my recommendation of a beginners racquet, it would say try out a MP44. Its headlight and flexible so its pretty easy to manuever and easy to develop power. Other lower numbered muscle power racquets are probably good for beginners as well, but I haven't tried them before.
Hi, my first racket was a Babolat Nirvana Fuse Control and I liked it very much, because of the big sweet spot and the good tramboline effect of the strings ... which combined gives good control and power. The durability is also top. You might get the Nirvana series rackets cheap now (less than 30$), because the Babolat racket design will change in a few weeks. Maybe check the website for further specs.
1. You don't know / care, does not mean it never exist. 2. Make it lighter but reasonable durable (usually more expensive in material / labor cost) will likely increase the cost, and once it pass the demand peak point, it will result in decrese in sales. Means, less total profit in return. Put this way, if a racket cost $20, many ppl new to the sport don't mind to give it a shot as a bit investment. If it cost $50+, then they might just stay away from it. 3. Can't swing fast mostly due to in-proper technique. Add more weight on top it, will make the problem even worse, and likely will add the chance of injury as well.
As I said, beginners should go with heavy rackets, like those made from steel. But you don't listen. See what happens ? Let this be a lesson to other beginners here.
