Good day, sirs! I'm planning to start taking tennis lesson later this month or early next month. Baka may alam po kayo nagtatrain na medyo mura mura. Around south or central MM sana. Thanks!

Sabi din po pala nung nakausap kong coach dun sa prospect kong pagtraininan, bili na daw ako racket para magamay ko na. Sabi naman sa stores, mag Advanced racket na daw kasi papalitan ko din daw agad pag beginner's lang binili ko. help naman po. thanks!

its up to you really. advanced rackets tend to have smaller head size and are heavier because advanced players are more for control than power. and if you start sa advanced na rackets there are tendecy na baka magkatennis elbow ka kasi di pa kaya ng arms mo. i suggest that you buy the the light weight ones na head heavy. ang kelangan mo pa kasi ngayon is to learn the basics you. forehand backhand and etc. buy the more advanced ones pag mejo gusto mo na magimprove yung game mo. i suggest bili ka ng pro kennex. mas user friendly kasi siya kaysa sa mga mas sikat na rackets. i havent used it but most of my friends who are advanced players tend to recommend me this brand. and if you
have a beginner's racket with you, its easier to invite people to try it out. at least may spare ka para sa kanila. hehe.

read reviews from tenniswarehouse.com. ok sila dun. in-depth ang review.

Noted sir! Sabi nung ibang nagadvice din, bili na lang muna siguro ng second hand. May nakausap din po ko na friend na nagtetennis na before and papahiram daw niya sakin yung beginner's racket niya. parestring ko na lang daw. nalula din ako sa price ng mga advanced racket e. hehe. Thanks sir!!

yup. hiram ka muna sir. feel mo muna yung laro. hehe. punta ka sa sg. mas mura tennis rackets dito. mas marami pa klase. hehe. isang advice din ay bili ka sa US. bagsak presyo daw pag nagsale dun. paship mo na lang dito. pero tsaka ka na mag-ganyan pag gusto mo na talaga yung laro.

The advanced racquets are meant for extreme precise control, power and spin. If you're into recreational tennis I really don't think these would matter that much.

Just make sure not to get an oversize racquet. Just get the regular sized ones. It's better to start with the regular one so you won't have to adjust anymore when you're going to the advanced stages of tennis.

My first racquet was a wooden Wilson Stratabow from the 70s. My father never used it so its still in top shape, I still play with it once in a while My second racquet was a Winghart. The control was crazy, even better than my Wilson Six-One. The only problem is that the head size isn't that big hence it's not that powerful.

For beginners you can't go wrong with Head in my opinion. Their beginner racquets have good control. Steer away from Dunlops muna.

Ang maganda sa US, there are plenty of vintage racquets available. I believe you can still get the old Pro Staff there in mint condition. Newer isn't necessarily better in tennis, kaya some pro players are still using their pre-2001 racquets.

If you want something not mainstream, ask a friend in Japan to get one for you. Bridgestone and Mizuno are selling racquets there.

i think i still have my dad's slazenger racquet back in manila. i'll look for it when i go back home. di ko na maalala masyado tong racquet na to kasi i wasn't into tennis back then pero all i remember is it was quite heavy.

i agree with head rackets. i think the new one head graphene looks good. want to try that out. my first racket and the one that i'm still using now is the head Ti radical. i like it but i'm looking for new one right nowjust for a change.

by the way, ano meron sa dunlop rackets boss?

[dashingdevonair]

Still looking for hitting partners. Haha if you're in the U-Belt area just PM me

The good Dunlop racquets are generally heavier than other brands. The low end ones aren't that good. Head and Babolat racquets are more beginner friendly.

[flipthetip26]

Actually I'm planning to get a Head racket. Yung hihiramin ko kasi sana di na ata makita yung racket niya. Sulit na ba for beginners yung price range na 2,500 - 3,000? Iniiwasan ko kasi yung rackets na may dugton or hindi uni-body. Madali daw kasi masira? Thanks sirs!

[Benjo9291]

Yep don't get racquets that don't have a Unibody. You can get decent beginner rackets naman with a unibody for 2.5k to 3k.
