Advantages: Decent price, improved my playing

Disadvantages: None really

My current partner is mad about playing tennis so I like to play the 'good' girlfriend and play tennis with him on a regular basis, regardless of the fact that I'm awful and have at this minute only played tennis four times before in my life. When I've played in the past I've been annoyingly stuck with his reject old racket which was too heavy and with a grip which is too hard. So I went down to JJB and kind of bought myself the cutest racquet I could find. Wasn't the best selective technique I've ever used but the racquet still does the job.

In terms of sizes this racket is 240g in weight (which is quite light for a racquet), the headsize is 680cm(^2) and the length is 635mm. I'm not entirely sure on the grip size though, in terms I don't understand, I'm pretty sure it's 3(7/8). Anyway, the length and weight and headsize have all been pretty great and standard for me, but I'm really no expert. Maybe I could do with a slightly heavier racket if I continued to improve and play more, but this one is certainly fine for now.

The racket costs me about £21 from JJB. Probably the standard for a racket at most places. And given the amount I've used it since it's been pretty good value for money. In terms of whether or not a racquet is worth paying for I think that's the only measure you can use. It may be worth paying loads more for a racquet if you are going to get a lot of use out of it.

I love this racket and love playing Tennis with it. My game immediately improved upon its purchase and it's very comfortable to play with, especially in relation to the grip size.



Just as a side note about buying Tennis Rackets. Last week I went to the Sports World store at Deepdale in Preston and it seemed to be having a massive sale so I'd definitely recommend getting down there for a cheap but great tennis racket. My partner got a really great racket for £30, reduced from £120.

Summary: Definitely recommend looking into it a little more than I did when it comes to buying a racket
