Hi, I recently moved to the UK and was looking to buy a new tennis racket but I would rather try it before buying it.
Thanks

Don’t think the high street shops would consider letting you try out a racket unless they have a special zone within the shop. However, most professionals attached to the larger Lawn Tennis clubs have their own shops within the Club premises and usually have trial rackets available – but only for use within the Club.

I don’t have very much money to spend, about eighty dollars or so, so what would you say the best affordable tennis racket would be for me?
I’d say you could go up to $100 with your suggestions.
Thank you! :]

Depends on if you are looking for a beginner racket or pro. But for 100 dollars I would say a more advanced tennis racket ha. Well I don’t know the names of the tennis rackets but Academy and I am positive Big- 5 has really good tennis rackets for your price range. Big- 5 actually isin’t that bad. Hoped this helped

I am looking for specialty tennis shops that sell Wilson and Fischer tennis rackets, specifically the Wilson nsix one 95, Wilson nblade 98 or the Fischer M speed pro 98.

There’s a store on Yee Wo St. in Causeway Bay, across from the Regal Hotel that offers great prices. Another is "Rose Sports" with a branch on Hennessy Rd. and on Fa Yuen St., Mongkok.

I know this sounds weird…but I’m planning to surprise my girlfriend with a gift, and she loves chocolate and tennis…so what better gift than chocolate tennis rackets right?

I’m a sucker for Joseph Schmidt chocolates, so I was happy when I wandered into Laguna Gourmet Food Gallery and found a wide selection. It’s on Forest Avenue in the downtown area. Joseph Schmidt is in Laguna Beach and is famous for handcrafted and hand-decorated artsy chocolate

The most important part of a tennis racket is the grip because it comes in different sizes and textures, but racket heads and strings can also vary.

Where can I get those ancient wooden tennis rackets??
Does anyone know where I can get them easily?

Go to flea markets or try eBay. Or you mean the ones from 18th century?

sometimes i feel like if i hit it hard it goes fast, and then if i try and rip it i get the same result. Do tennis rackets have a maximum power they can hit?

its all in your head.
heavier racquet + lets say 60 mph SWING =
more ball pace than lighter racquet + 60 mph SWING

strings-
40 lbs + 60 mph swing i much more ball pace than
70 lbs + 60 mph swing.

your "rip" might be hit off center, making it seem like its going slower. use good mechanics and dink it, then use good mechanics and hit it hard.

if a pro uses the same racquet as you, they probably hit it 3-4 times harder than your hardest shot, on their average rally ball. dont even get me started on their "rips"

the top senior in my school has probably the fastest serve in the state as i saw in the state championships, and his serve BARELY poked over 110 mph.

sorry kid, good luck hitting your serve as fast as the pros 130-150 mph

the answer is NO racquets and strings do not max out
