Tennis Racquets & Demo Program

Tennis Racquet Information

Our tennis department flaunts a great selection of power, control, all-around, and junior racquets from Babolat, Wilson, Prince, and Dunlop. Whether you’re a beginner or a 5.0 player, if you are thinking about purchasing a new racquet, we recommend signing up for our month long tennis demo program.

Racquet Demo Program

Our fleet of demo racquets includes every current racquet that we sell from all four of our manufacturers, and is kept up to date as new models are added to our inventory.

Technology in the tennis industry evolves quickly, and major leaps can occur over the course of a few short seasons, so it is important to try a lot of racquets before buying one. We think it is the only way you can feel confident you’ve found the best racquet for your game, AND the demo fee can be used towards the purchase of a new racquet if you find one that you like, so it’s a win win! Here is the how the demo program works:

Tips for selecting the right grip size:

• Using a ruler, align side straight with ring finger
• Align the bottom of the ruler with the bottom crease of your palm and measure from the tip of your ring finger

Perfect if you’re looking for a little extra kick out of your racquet. These power-oriented models feature oversize heads (107+ in) and tend to weigh on the lighter side (10 oz. and lighter). They are typically head heavy or have an even balance for leverage in the hitting zone, and stiffer, thicker beams for energy transference. Power racquets are popular for beginner-intermediate players for of their nice big sweet spot. If you’re looking for more power out of your racquet and have a slower and/or shorter swing, check out some our top selling power racquets:

Control-oriented, or ‘Player’s Racquets’, are choice among professional and high-level competitive players for their enhanced maneuverability. They are heavier (11.5 oz and heavier) with a head light balance, and feature smaller heads (98 in and smaller) with thinner, more flexible beams for players who generate their own power.

5. Babolat Pure Storm$179.99

These racquets have a more even balance of power and control, and fall between a game-improvement and player’s racquet. Features of all-around racquets tend to lean more towards those of power racquets; they are typically average or lighter in weight (9.4 oz-10.85 oz) with an even or slightly head-heavy balance, and a midplus headsize (95 in-103 in). These racquets are popular among intermediate – advanced players who are seeking more control than power racquets can offer.
