Purchasing the right tennis racket can be confusing. In this piece, I’m going to give you some tips to help make the process a little easier. Check it out…

Rackets are divided into three categories: power rackets (best for beginners and intermediates), tweeners (for intermediate and advanced players) and control rackets (best for advanced players).

These can range from scary instructors to endless exercises or abusive teacher-student relationships. Sometimes a teacher may have punished the student for not being skilled enough, while other times a teacher may have pushed a promising student too hard. This is one of the hurdles that come with learning music as an adult.
