You need to purchase a new tennis racquet, but you are not really sure what to buy! What does head size mean, head heavy or head light, and the list goes on. I think a brief explanation is in order.
Head size directly correlates to power. Today’s tennis racquets come in head sizes ranging from 85 to 135 square inches. Most of your players will fall somewhere in the 95-110 square inch range. Larger head size will provide more power combined with a larger sweet spot and hitting area. For those reasons a beginner to intermediate player will typically use this racquet. Smaller head size translates to more control and is used most often by a more accomplished player.
