Yes, BEGINNER racquet. A very good one, coming from a person who started "playing" tennis recently. Racquet has extremely large surface area, very difficult to miss the ball. Racquet is so large, in fact, I've managed to get the ball stuck several times between the head and hand grip on swings. Extra large size also gives you *much* more power, smaller people are able to play no problem. I have powerful shoulders, so I actually had to scale down my swing to keep it in-bounds. Very very very lightweight, I played with my little sister and she had no problems. I have no familiarity with brands, so this was my dummy-proof purchase based on all the characteristics you should look for in a beginners racquet. Ready to graduate!!!

Head i.S12 Tennis Racquet

i am a recreational player about 3.5 level. I had played with an old Pro Kennex graphite destiny racket from high school through college and after. I thought I would play with the same racket until I died. However, in the summer of 2010, while on vacation, I played with this racket and loved the combination of power and light weight, but it still has some control. Also, since this is an older racket model, the price is very good. I am now playing with this racket as well as my two sons. Recently at our local tennis club, we tried about six other Babolat, Wilson and Prince rackets and I feel this is still the best racket.

My son liked it very much and the quality looks good as well but ended up buying at Kmart for $15, I was surprised to see Amazon price so much higher, they typicaly have lower prices. Simple to say - a good product.
Lightweight, small sized and colorful.
What else? It's a tennis raquet - go figureMy son loves to play tennis now. This racket gives him a true tennis experience and is not a cheap toy. We ordered the red but received yellow, which matches his tennis balls and Sponge Bob sweat band. Good looking, sturdy and affordable. My son loves to play tennis now. This racket gives him a true tennis experience and is not a cheap toy. We ordered the red but received yellow, which matches his tennis balls and Sponge Bob sweat band. Good looking, sturdy and affordable. I purchased this for my future tennis player. Its the perfect size for the small beginning player. My son loves this racket; it's perfect for his hands. I brought a 21" side for him and a 23" one for my daughter. (I'll copy and paste this review on that one). Good brand and well made, and as stated before there's not much to say.I just received four of these rackets in the mail yesterday via AMAZON. First off... go for the FREE SUPER SAVING SHIPPING. The four would have cost me $21.00 to ship! Yikes!! Took less than a week to arrive. They are perfect for my family!! I have a 3, 7, and 12 year old... and a 38 year old too (that's me!). We bat the ball for hours on day one. Perfect for the job at hand, and a great price too. No sales tax, no shipping. The only downside I'd say... I didn't "shop around" for what I was looking for as much as usual... and I found a similar racket AT Wal-Mart for $11.00. Not a big WALLY WORLD fan, and since I love AMAZON, don't mind throwing them my business instead! Buy this racket. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy! My son liked it very much and the quality looks good as well but ended up buying at Kmart for $15, I was surprised to see Amazon price so much higher, they typicaly have lower prices. Gifted this to my Godson for 2cnd birthday. Great way to build father/son time with a dad who loves tennis. Perfect racquet for little hands. Made an immediate impression, and he remembers who it came from. He likes to put the balls on his T-ball post and whack at them. Be careful with it indoors! Nice coloring in the blue for a traditional "boyish" touch. Perfect way to get a toddler accustomed to wielding a racquet. Simple to say - a good product.
Lightweight, small sized and colorful.

am not a tennis expert nor am I an avid tennis player, but I do like to hit the ball over the net. This racket is perfect for any casual tennis player. It's very light and it looks pretty good on the courts too. This is a great racket for the price and I am sure glad I picked this one up. I have been playing seriously for an year now. This racquet is very nice upgrade as second racquet, you can immediately feel difference compared to cheaper ones available in box stores. This racquet has good balance hence is suitable for power as well as control. I still keep over hitting when I am approaching net due to power this oversize racquet gives. Aesthetics wise color looks great on court. This is very good value for money purchase.i expected it to be better. When you hit little hard, the racket vibrates and the strings move a little bit.

It vibrates when hit a bit hard. The grip is of low quality and after playing just 3-4 times you can start seeing the wood below - between the reams of the grip roll. i expected it to be better.

best buy Wilson [K] reviews

The Wilson K Six Two 100 is the next generation of the nCode n6 and nSix Two and remains one of the most versatile choices in the K Factor line. With the KSix Two, Wilson has combined the power, stability, and crispness of K Factor technology with a slightly more versatile, and a surprisingly controlled 25mm beam. No longer head heavy (as with previous generation n6 and Hammer 6.2), the KSix Two is more maneuverable and feels slightly lighter than its 10.5 oz. strung weight suggests. The KSix Two suits a wide variety of playing styles and ability levels, as long as the player possesses a moderate to long swing. All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4 new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations depending on the [K] Factor model. Let me begin by saying that I'm an intermediate/advanced player who bought this racquet for all-court play. I'm am offensive/defensive baseliner. Though I make the trip to the net when play dictates.

Basics: The K Six-Two is very good for those who have medium to long strokes and are looking for something that offers a good compromise between oversized racquets (110+ sq. in.) and compact racquets (~90 sq. in.). It delivers a very good mix of power and control when strung at the balance of its recommended stringing tension (@ 58 lb.). At 10.6 oz. it's weighted fairly closely to the racquets of the pros, so those just starting out might find it a tad on the heavy side.

Advanced: I recommend hitting flatter shots with this racquet since its string bed is 16 X 19. The denser pattern designates a slight preference for flatter shots as opposed to shots with spin. This is because there are more strings touching the ball at the contact point. More strings in contact indicates a preference for power. Less strings in contact would indicate that a racquet was designed for more spin, since there is more "bite" on the ball at contact. On a side note, I use the backhand slice and forehand topspin in my games and the Six-Two actually did well for both shots.

To sum things up: the K Six-Two is a great value racquet that is good for intermediate to advanced players. Those who are looking to find a good all-around racquet won't be disappointed. The Six-Two's weight and string pattern are slightly more partial to flat shots, but implementing spin-oriented shots is also quite possibleI bought the Wilson K Six.Two tennis racquet for my daughter who has decided to play on her high school tennis team. Her coach and another high school tennis coach I know recommended the Wilson N Sixt Two,but Wilson no longer makes that racquet. They've replaced it with the K Six.Two, which delivers both power and a great sense of touch, making it extremely effective at both the net and the baseline. My daughter reported an improvement in her game from the first time she used the racquet.

I had looked all over the Internet hoping to avoid the $180 price tag. Late, late one evening I decided to check Amazon. They were offering the Wilson K Six.Two in a price range of $44 (price mistake?)to $159. At $159, it was a good buy, but at $44 with free shipping it was the deal of a lifetime. I paid $44 for a brand new Wilson K Six.Two racquet. My daughter loves her new racquet and her daddy loves the great deal! Thank you, Amazon!! I've had my Wilson [K] Six.Two for around a year now, and I absolutely love it. I play tennis for fun, but with other guys who play very well (not just messing around on the court). I was in the hunt for a nice racket that would give me better speed, yet good control, and I must say, this racket gives me both! I get a lot of pop off serves and get really good power off shots, yet I still feel I am able to control the shots too. The racket is just the right weight, actually a bit lighter than my old Head racket, which I like a lot. And the 100-inch head gives you a little grace with not hitting the ball in the sweet spot every time. Overall, I am highly pleased with this Wilson product. Highly recommended.I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years old and hasn't been restrung since 1999. So I decided technology would have advanced so far that it wasn't worth getting it restrung, so bought the Wilson. It is a bit lighter and tighter so helps with my backhand (which is not a consistent shot), but I kept thinking I was (especially) mishitting my forehand - figured I was rusty. However I just tried my brother's Prince O3 (which is strung a bit tighter) and could return everything and it felt amazing. There is something wrong with the Wilson - it feels hard with a tiny sweetspot.it might be improved with a restring, but I don't want to invest another $25 in a losing proposition. I even tried my older racquet and could even hit better with that. Avoid. This tennis racquet is stylish, light weight, and very comfort to hold in hand. It comes with a Wilson bag for carrying. It is really light, even a woman can swing it easily. Awesome!

I was just starting to learn how to play tennis when i ordered this racket.
And i just wanted a good racket that is reasonably priced.
I have used it for at least 100 hard-core hours so far and the racket is still good.
I couldn't be more pleased. This is my first racquet and I dont have any complaints. It is easy to handle as it is light weight and since it is X Large it is good to play some tough shots! I'm pretty much new to tennis, used to play around some as a kid with an old racquet we had laying around the house. This beats what I had then by far. I've played three times now with this racquet, and for the price I couldn't be more pleased. Looks like it will hold up well with use, it's light and large enough so that I'm able to make good connections. Now I just need to brush up on technique:) I bought it for $25 but a friend of mine got it in deal at $10. otherwise racket is good. I am a Tennis beginner by the way.
Also a friend of mine bought a racket for $75 . Initially we thought he wasted money and even he wanted to return the racket. But nowadays he is playing excellent master strokes with his forehand. we both started at the same time and from same coach. :) :) With no intention of taking away his credit for skills and hard work, may be racket also plays a role. I'd love to give this item more stars, as it is probably deserving of them, but the racquet that was shipped to me was SEVERELY bent. Like "how could they have shipped this?" bent, looking at it from the side OR the front it's clearly unusable. Now I have to return it and either go buy one at an overpriced b&m store or try amazon again and hope I get a straight one next time. This is my first return on amazon and it was pretty easy with ups pickup, so that's nice, but it would've been cool to have a working item.My wife wanted to go back to tennis after 7 years, and since she never finished her training the first time, we decided to get a beginners racquet and see how it works for her. A little bit of online search revealed this Wilson model among the top ranked beginners' racquets which was also surprisingly the cheapest on the list! It was a no-brainer, and we ordered it through Amazon.

The racquet is extra large, which is advised for beginners, and it seems to be of good quality. There is no case or cover, and you receive the bare racquet plastic wrapped in a typical Amazon box. My wife is 5' 2", and we were worried if 4 3/4" grip to be too big for her, but interestingly it needs some additional grip tapes to make it a perfect fit. We are happy that we ordered 4 3/4" instead of 4 1/4" version, because you can always increase the grip size with additional tapes.

If you are looking for a cheap beginners' racquet, there are not many options among the top brands. In this price range, we could only find this Wilson and the "HEAD Ti. Instinct Comp Tennis Racquet," but we went with Wilson because of the reviews. However, the Head comes with a racquet cover. Yes, BEGINNER racquet.

Good control and speed make this racquet a great upgrade from whatever you are playing with This racket description and reviews made me to but this racket and unfortunately ended as a disappointing experience.

The first problem is

Racket makes lot of irritating sound and does not provide control/power

Racket does vibrate while return and not smooth

I do not recommend this product neither for upgrade nor for someone to start with

beginners can always buy 20 USD walmart racket and intermediate/advanced players can look for some proven rackets such as head microgel, prince 03 etc around 100 USD instead of wasting 65 USD on this one

I bough this racket from paddlepro seller I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years old and hasn't been restrung since 1999.

best buy Head Liquidmetal reviews

Head's® Liquidmetal® Radical tennis racquet is Andre Agassi's Liquidmetal® weapon of choice. Liquidmetal® technology provides pure energy and perfect power. The Total Sweetspot Construction and oversized head combined to deliver increased stability and a total sweetspot. Liquidmetal® material is applied to 4 strategic areas of the racquet's head and is the only material that utilizes all the energy your swing generates. I bought 2 of these a month ago looking to explore the direction a different racquet might take my game. currently I hit with the dunlop 2oog XL and love it, but have had some success with head racquets. anyway, the radical mid+ is very light and feels brittle w/out actually being too stiff. it is definitely designed for the modern game's emphasis on racquet head speed, with a light head balance meant for some serious acceleration. off the ground the racquet felt pretty good after I applied some lead tape, and definitely benefits from stringing on the low side of the tension range. higher tensions gave the physical impression of the ball falling off the strings with little penetration. on slices, the radical produced lovely vector-like trajectories that were very satisfying to hit indeed. on serve, the radical provided for much pop, easily rivaling anything I can hit w/the dunlop. the tight string pattern requires more effort to impart serious spin, but serves could be placed accurately. the radical shines in the service dept. but... the real treat was volleying. ye gods this racquet volleys well. crisp, controlled shots I could put anywhere, from the service line up to net, half-volleys, low below-net scoopers, against pace or soft shots. very solid and very maneuverable. the highlight of my month long adventure.
so having said all these nice things about the radical, why did I go back to the 2ooXL? well, as I said before, the radical is about the emphasis on racquet head speed. this concept dominates the game now, as every one tries to emulate roger and rafa et al. which is fine, but that game requires so much effort and a racquet like this requires that game like a german sports sedan requires high test fuel. it's too much, and although I can operate in that arena, my game is much more about dynamic control and variation. I take the ball early and redirect alot, think vintage mecir, and I need a racquet that's soft and provides more feel than the radical, which felt brittle. the dunlops are also considerably heavier and feel much more stable, especially w/lead tape
on the throat. going back to the dunlop after a genuine and concerted effort to tailor the radical mid+ to my game made me realize how I was actually tailoring my game to the mid+.

still, a great frame for the right game. recommended, if not for me Having played for over twenty years I never considered purchasing an advanced racket like the Liquidmetal Radical simply because I don't play very often. However, when I saw the pricedrop on it I just couldn't resist and you shouldn't either. For the first time ever I feel in control on the court. I had a Head racket before (Ti Fire), but I am giving it away because there is just no comparison. Virtually no vibration (when I hit the ball right of course), the shot goes in exactly the direction I want it to go, brilliant. I am very happy with this purchase. Midwest Sports came though very nicely, delivering in no time. An assistant at a local sport store told me this racket is being discontinued, so I bought another one just in case.

This line, next to Babolat Pure Drive Team (Mainly the Plus) and HEAD Prestige (Liquidmetal and Intelligence), is an elite line. Radical has been the most used racquet around here since we've come together as 13-14 year olds. Radical Liquidmetal is an applauded product from Head and we recommend it with great enthousiasm as a racquet for all club (U12/14+ categories) and above players. It works well with all ages.

I had wanted this 'antique' racquet for a long time and finally decided to purchase through Amazon before its "extinction". All the stores in HKG no longer carry this item since long long ago. I ordered two pieces in order to justify for the not-cheap international shipping charges. Each racquet comes with a Head bag and dampener. The delivery was earlier than promised and I am satisfied with the packing. This racquet is worth buying as it is not too expensive unlike those newly launched in the market. It's for those who find other models either too light or too heavy. This one is just right. my son recently began playing tennis this last summer and has upgraded to this new racquet ! my son has more confidence with this new racquet , he has moved up to number 3 position on team up from number 7. highly recommend new head liquid metal racquet! I have been playing tennis for 24 years (I'm 38), I play twice a week and I must say this stick isn't for me, you need to create your own power (a lot of it) to use it, it feels stiff, I'm sure it is a great players racquet but it is not for the club player.

I bought the new Head Microgel Extreme 09, this stick is consider a players racquet by Head but it feels much more powerful and soft, of course you don't feel the same control that has the Radical but it is much better for my game.

Conclusion: If you are 21 and you are a serious tennis player (4,5 level or more) go for it, if not try another stick. I don't usually belive in items that are on sale, mostly because I've been scam a couple of times.

This time I was broke and needed a good racket for de cash that i had....it's a offer that has satisfied me.

best buy Head TiS6 reviews

I've used this racquet for the last 10 years. It is evenly weighted, meant for tennis players with a slower swing (most beginner-intermediate players), had a big sweet spot, and has excellent flexibility and vibration control. This was the top selling racquet in the world at one point, for good reason. The price is excellent for what you get, especially with the astronomical prices of many of today's racquets.

I have hit with this racket for 5+ years and it is very light weight, strong and delivers a high quality return on strokes, serves and overheads. The sweet spot is a fraction outside the middle towards the end-of-the-head and is large enough to allow forgivable volleys and return of serve strokes. I have purchased additional rackets (babolet, wilson) that cost much more, but that simply can't fit my game. This is a great racket for kids, high schoolers or those over 50.

I have had this for more than 2 years now. Its a great racquet to learn because of it's light weight. Its easy on your wrist and elbow. If you are hitting balls hard, or returning fast balls, this racquet loses its touch. It actually becomes hard on your wrist and arm. didn't like this racquet at all. Too much power. Any small amount of force you use, goes out of bounds. I was trying to modify my swing style and holding the racket not to the edge, but somewhere in the middle to hit with less force, but still couldn't get it to work for me. I purchased this racquet over 10 years ago around when it first came out on the market, and with a price tag over $150. At the time, it was one of the first titanium racquets, making lighter than any of its competitors. I'm glad to see it has gone down in price over time.

I first started with this racquet in high school, and have owned the same racquet ever since--a testament to its durability. It's extremely strong and lightweight, making it great for beginner-to-intermediate players. More skilled players will want a heavier, more responsive racquet.

I also tend to play with a lower string tension than many players, and paired with a strong swing, I can really crush the ball with good accuracy--not great accuracy, but good! Some have complained about excessive vibration when hitting, due to the light weight of the racquet, but I have not had any issues with this. Overall I would recommend it. I really like this racquet. Had demoed several others without success before an expert recommended this one to me. He was right. I have no complaints! Its light, it's powerful. It holds well. NO vibrations. The price was right. Now, I just have to work on my strokes... Bought this racket from sports authority and the frame cracked on the second time I played with it. I didn't even do anything that would strain it. For the time I was able to use it...it generates a lot of power on its own. I had to adjust my gripping to accommodate for the natural power of the racket. Once I figured it out I began to like the racket. I would recommend insurance if the seller offers it. I bought this for my early 50's petite mom. She is learning to play, and this racquet fit her profile and budget. At 9 ounces and 8 points head heavy, the frame is very light and generates a ton of power. Full shots are not required to get the ball over the net. A short stroke will suffice. Provides a lively feel at impact. The head is large and forgiving, and the longer length helps cover the court. I recommend the Ti S6 to older players or those seeking more power. Excellent performance and a good value. seller promised restrung racquet. However, it came with the original string. Went to Dick's sport and compared with the orignal string. There is no difference. The string snapped after 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it is high school tennis season so cannot return it. Have it restrung at a local store. Kept the original string and planning to go through Amazon to issue a complaint. I hope none of my friends learn about it so I can beat them... Seriously, this racquet is amazing! It is very light (I bought it for my 8 year old son and he manages it quite well despite the racquet's size) and still very powerful. I ended-up buying a second one for me (4.5 size) and it has improved my level of play tremendously. Thanks Head! i had a head racket before this and it was ok, but the frame broke and the strings came unloose. the frame was my fault, but regardless i needed a new one. the first hit i hit with this, the ball went flying. it has A TON of power, and i can't stress that enough. it is also designed to have a larger sweet spot, and it does. the frame is very strong (titanium with graphite coating) and is very lightweight if you like that style. so when i got it, my friends kept begging to use it. so overall, i would highly recommend this racket if you like lightweight, very powerful rackets.

best buy Head Ti S6 reviews

Head Ti S6 tennis racquet is good for beginners. It is comparatively lighter than other racquets and has a slightly bigger sweet spot area (due to its shape and string arrangement). Hence, it generates more power and is easy to handle.

You can select your grip size while ordering and it comes with the cover and the shock absorber. Also, I checked this racquet at other sport shops but the price at amazon is cheaper by at least by $20. This product is worth the money spent. The Head TI S6 tennis racket is a racket of superb overall performance and ability thanks to titanium design.
Specially after Rotator Cuff Repair.
Rotator cuff is a set of four different muscles located in the shoulder joint. These muscles form tendons and insert onto the shoulder bone.
It affords the racket a level of maneuverability and control that is rarely seen with such a powerful piece of equipment. The Ti S6 gives you the power of a long racket without sacrificing agility and control. I am a moderate player and was looking for the best match in the racket, and when I got this one, I can see the big difference! My game improved a lot and its not me telling, it's my friends with whom I play tennis regularly... I'm extremely happy with this racket!!

One thing I noticed which is the string, I don't know how they strung this, but it feels loose, Im sure I will need to restrung pretty soon.. This is my 3rd Head TiS6 Racket, and they are fabulous. I have given one to my Grandaughter Holly who is 6. She loves it too and wanted a Racket the same as Poppas.I am coaching her and am very hopeful that one day she will be a very good Tennis player. John N Taylor Racquet is very nice! Lightweight, easy to swing, and durable. Good sweet spot, and overall a good buy!

best buy Head TiS6 Strung reviews

I've used this racquet for the last 10 years. It is evenly weighted, meant for tennis players with a slower swing (most beginner-intermediate players), had a big sweet spot, and has excellent flexibility and vibration control. This was the top selling racquet in the world at one point, for good reason. The price is excellent for what you get, especially with the astronomical prices of many of today's racquets. I have hit with this racket for 5+ years and it is very light weight, strong and delivers a high quality return on strokes, serves and overheads. The sweet spot is a fraction outside the middle towards the end-of-the-head and is large enough to allow forgivable volleys and return of serve strokes. I have purchased additional rackets (babolet, wilson) that cost much more, but that simply can't fit my game. This is a great racket for kids, high schoolers or those over 50. I have had this for more than 2 years now. Its a great racquet to learn because of it's light weight. Its easy on your wrist and elbow. If you are hitting balls hard, or returning fast balls, this racquet loses its touch. It actually becomes hard on your wrist and arm. I didn't like this racquet at all. Too much power.

best buy Head Liquid Metal reviews

This is my second Tennis racket, i have the Wilson US Open as a beginner and played with it for a year. I have been playing with the Head LiquidMetal 8 for a week now and i have to say it is amazing. Extremely light(on the UPS scale stringed it weighed .60 lbs) and packed with a punch this racket has increased my confidence level tremendously, i can't blame anything on the racket anymore so i try extra hard and have definitely improved a lot in just a week. Look and feel of the racket is definitely a plus, it has the integrated vibration dampers so you can't lose it while playing. Comes with a full cover in Black and Silver/Gray to match the racket. I got this with Free Shipping through Amazon - MidWest Sports - with no tax, even the stores can't beat that. Got the Racket and 2 cans of Balls delivered at my door for what other stores are selling only the racket for.Very good racquet with a perfect blend of power and control. It is best suited for intermediate players, but improving beginners as well as advanced players will find it is a nice racquet to play with. The only time I found it a bit difficult to control was when I was trying to hit the ball really hard and heavy or at the net when given very little time for volley. Otherwise it performs really well at the net, as well as in other parts of the court. It is light and feels right in the hand. Very good deal for this price. Just getting back to tennis after many years following shoulder injury. Previous A Grade Comp player - now just social tennis. Bought Head Liquidmetal 8 racquet online through Amazon and it was delivered to my address in Sydney Australia in about one week. Excellent racquet to play with, huge sweet spot, feels light and well balanced with minimal vibration transmitted. A very smooth transaction, excellent racquet and good experience generally. I play tennis every week or so with my brother. I had been using a $10 used racket for the past year. There was a noticeable difference in my game and serve after I got this new one. I'm no professional, but this is a pretty good upgrade for my novice play. I was using "Walmart" rackets before (25-40 Dollars range) and one of my friends had this racket which felt quite lighter and was softer on my elbows.

I played with it a casual game as well and found it quite good, so I purchased it.

I play both full swings and spins.

I've used it extensively in past 4 weeks and found that it is indeed better for my elbows. However, my swing is gone. It feels heavy when I try to move it around faster, which wasn't the case with early rackets that I had.

So, will I recommend it? Sure, if you are playing long swing games from behind the court lines. But if you are thinking about going back and forth with quick swings on the court and get fast swings on the serves as well... this may not be the best choice. I am a beginner (been taking lessons for about 3 months) and just had a racket I picked up used at a sporting goods store. I felt like I was ready for "the right" racket so after some research I picked up the Liquidmetal 8. What a difference! There is a marked improvement in the shots I'm taking and I miss less because of the large sweet spot. Would definitely recommend this racket! After reading reviews and descriptions for the various tennis rackets offered, I settled on this model and couldn't be more pleased!

Even my 3 1/2 half year old can hold it comfortably. I definitely plan on buying them again if mine get damaged which I know is bound to happen. For the price it's a great buyI know nothing about tennis. I had no idea rackets came in so many sizes. But, as soon as our 9 year old son started playing with this instead of a leftover 10 year old adult racket, we could immediately see how much more he enjoyed playing. The smaller size and lighter weight really do make a huge difference for younger kids. I highly recommend this for a starter youth racket. The racquet itself is fine, but I got it for my five year old son who is taking tennis lessons. I really think, though, it would be helpful if the information on the product on Amazon showed the recommended ages for these. The racquet itself clearly says on the package for ages 3-5 years old. Since my son is 5, it is usable, but in hindsight I wish I had went with the next size up, since he is at the top end of the range of kids this is designed for. Maybe most people know what size their kids need, but since I do not play tennis or know alot about tennis racquets, something clearly displayed on the racquet would have been nice to be clearly displayed on the information on Amazon ABOUT the product. As it is, it's a hassle to exchange things, so we will make do. Easy for my son to control the racket. Great starter racket and the price could not be beat! he started playing on our Thanksgiving trip and am sure that he will love this for christmas.

Yes, BEGINNER racquet. A very good one, coming from a person who started "playing" tennis recently. Racquet has extremely large surface area, very difficult to miss the ball. Racquet is so large, in fact, I've managed to get the ball stuck several times between the head and hand grip on swings. Extra large size also gives you *much* more power, smaller people are able to play no problem. I have powerful shoulders, so I actually had to scale down my swing to keep it in-bounds. Very very very lightweight, I played with my little sister and she had no problems. I have no familiarity with brands, so this was my dummy-proof purchase based on all the characteristics you should look for in a beginners racquet. Ready to graduate!!! I was just starting to learn how to play tennis when i ordered this racket.
And i just wanted a good racket that is reasonably priced.
I have used it for at least 100 hard-core hours so far and the racket is still good.
I couldn't be more pleased. This is my first racquet and I dont have any complaints. It is easy to handle as it is light weight and since it is X Large it is good to play some tough shots! I bought it for $25 but a friend of mine got it in deal at $10. otherwise racket is good. I am a Tennis beginner by the way.
Also a friend of mine bought a racket for $75 . Initially we thought he wasted money and even he wanted to return the racket. But nowadays he is playing excellent master strokes with his forehand. we both started at the same time and from same coach. :) :) With no intention of taking away his credit for skills and hard work, may be racket also plays a role. My wife wanted to go back to tennis after 7 years, and since she never finished her training the first time, we decided to get a beginners racquet and see how it works for her. A little bit of online search revealed this Wilson model among the top ranked beginners' racquets which was also surprisingly the cheapest on the list! It was a no-brainer, and we ordered it through Amazon.

The racquet is extra large, which is advised for beginners, and it seems to be of good quality. There is no case or cover, and you receive the bare racquet plastic wrapped in a typical Amazon box. My wife is 5' 2", and we were worried if 4 3/4" grip to be too big for her, but interestingly it needs some additional grip tapes to make it a perfect fit. We are happy that we ordered 4 3/4" instead of 4 1/4" version, because you can always increase the grip size with additional tapes.

If you are looking for a cheap beginners' racquet, there are not many options among the top brands. In this price range, we could only find this Wilson and the "HEAD Ti. Instinct Comp Tennis Racquet," but we went with Wilson because of the reviews. However, the Head comes with a racquet cover. Yes, BEGINNER racquet.

ORIGINAL REVIEW - 6/7/2010
It's been 15 years since I played tennis regularly, and I didn't want to shuck out $40+ on a racquet.

This is a decent racquet if you're on a tight budget and want something that plays decent. You can be rough with it since it's metal alloy...throw it on the ground, the net, HECK even your opponent and this thing is tough as nails!

I found the grip to be very flat with little cushion and on the smaller size. I ended up unraveling the stock grip, building it up with masking tape, and re-gripping it using the existing grip with more overlap to provide a "fatter" feel with more cushion. I also added a vibration dampening device which provided a feel closder to a more expensive graphite racquet.

UPDATED 1 Yr Review - 6/5/2011
I've been playing the Tour Slam for about a year since my previous review, and I stand by what I said in my first review. Since then, I bought both my sons (ages 12 & 13) a variety of much more expensive racquets: Prince graphite/titanium, Yonex graphite, and more recently Wilson BLX Pro Open, Wilson K Pro Team FX. I've tried all those racquets, and surprisingly find myself coming back to this $17 Wilson Tour Slam.

WEIGHT. At 11.5 ounces, this is a heavier racquet compared to most of the lighter game improvement and intermediate racquets out there ranging from 9.5 - 10.5 ounces. I love the extra heft as many of the pro-level racquets weigh around 11 - 12 ounces. It feels like a sledgehammer when I connect with the ball in its sweet spot.

COMFORT. I've played with some very light titanium and graphite racquets, and ended up with tennis elbow. The Wilson Tour Slam has NEVER given me any soreness to my elbow. Like I mentioned in my original review, I play with a cheap rubber vibration dampener which adds to the unusually solid feel of this metal alloy racquet. The Stop Shock pads already included on the racquet do their job quite well.

SHAPE/FEEL. The longer mainstrings (Wilson calls them Power Strings) provide some decent power. I believe the combination of the large 110 sq inch head size with these longer mainstrings provides too much power as I sometimes have a tendency to hit long. I wish the head was just a tad bit smaller, perhaps 105 or even 102 sq inches.

NEW STRINGS. So I had a spare set of strings and decided to have the Tour Slam restrung last week. I paid $13 to restring it which is almost the cost of the racquet. Why invest good strings in this cheap racquet? Why not just purchase a new Tour Slam? I felt it was worth restringing because the strings were textured to provide more spin, and I had it strung pretty tight at 62 lbs to tone down the power and provide more control. My forehand has better control, and I can hit decent low shots with good pace and high looping shots that still manage to stay in. I'm still working on controlling my two-handed backhand.

The Tour Slam is great for a beginner or intermediate player who is not embarrassed to play with a cheap racquet. It probably plays as well as many of the $40 - $70 graphite and hybrid racquets out there. Again, this is an extremely durable racquet that can take lots of punishment, and I don't get paranoid if I happen to scrape or tap the ground on shots that I'm stretching for.

The 2011 Tour Slam model is essentially the same design with a white, gray, and black paint scheme. I held the previous blue model (the one I own) against the new model, and I noticed that the Power Strings are slightly longer on the new model.

BEYOND...
So I broke down and purchased a more expensive racquet, a Head Youtek Monster. The Head Monster is a much firmer, solid feeling racquet with more control that allows me to take a full swing. However, when I feel I want to unleash more spin and power, I find myself reaching for the good ol' Wilson Tour Slam. I can hit a wicked two-handed top-spin backhand with the Tour Slam. I need to take more of a half or even quarter forehand swing to keep the ball in the court, but I can get TONS of spin off this thing. I'm going to get it restrung soon at about 68/69 lbs in an attempt to tame this beast! Curious to see what the max string tension this racquet can take. If the dang thing breaks, I'm definitely going to shuck out another $17 at Walmart!

The price was great for a racket of brand name, Wilson. The colors may vary from the picture shown because my racket is black and white. Played a few games with it so far and its worked out fine. Its pretty light compared to my other Wilson racket, but overall great racket for the price! Love it! =) It doesn't come with a case, but I use an average sized nylon sports bag to cover it up and it fits nicely into it.

The Wilson Tour Series are excellent, affordable raquets for the energetic players who need quality in an affordable package. At these prices, you can outfit yourself with 2 or 3 raquets, and feel like a real tennis pro. Their playability is impressive for an economy tennis raquet, and the ever improving technology for lower cost means you will have a better tennis raquet than professional players were using only a few years ago. I haven't played tennis with this racket yet since its still winter, but i just wanted to buy a new cheap racket while still in my prime trial. What i think about the racket is that i love the colors! the pic on the item page is NOT the color you will receive, i'm pretty sure everyone who orders this will get a black and white one. Looks great nonetheless even better than the colors on the item pic. Will update more when i play with this during spring.

EDIT: okay due to a very warm january here in chicago, i found a park to play tennis on. Using this racket at first took time to adjust. It is very powerful and has a big sweet spot. Not very good at net play because its too powerful even with one little touch on the ball. This racket should be priced higher because it plays like one of the pricier rackets. but i did notice they just higher-ed the price after the holiday season. At 30$ i still think its worth buying. It is a very good racket for any intermediate or beginner player. I recommend it very much.

I've been playing the Tour Slam for about a year since my previous review, and I stand by what I said in my first review. Since then, I bought both my sons (ages 12 & 13) a variety of much more expensive racquets: Prince graphite/titanium, Yonex graphite, and more recently Wilson BLX Pro Open, Wilson K Pro Team FX. I've tried all those racquets, and surprisingly find myself coming back to this $17 Wilson Tour Slam.

WEIGHT. At 11.5 ounces, this is a heavier racquet compared to most of the lighter game improvement and intermediate racquets out there ranging from 9.5 - 10.5 ounces. I love the extra heft as many of the pro-level racquets weigh around 11 - 12 ounces. It feels like a sledgehammer when I connect with the ball in its sweet spot.

COMFORT. I've played with some very light titanium and graphite racquets, and ended up with tennis elbow. The Wilson Tour Slam has NEVER given me any soreness to my elbow. Like I mentioned in my original review, I play with a cheap rubber vibration dampener which adds to the unusually solid feel of this metal alloy racquet. The Stop Shock pads already included on the racquet do their job quite well.

SHAPE/FEEL. The longer mainstrings (Wilson calls them Power Strings) provide some decent power. I believe the combination of the large 110 sq inch head size with these longer mainstrings provides too much power as I sometimes have a tendency to hit long. I wish the head was just a tad bit smaller, perhaps 105 or even 102 sq inches.

NEW STRINGS. So I had a spare set of strings and decided to have the Tour Slam restrung last week. I paid $13 to restring it which is almost the cost of the racquet. Why invest good strings in this cheap racquet? Why not just purchase a new Tour Slam? I felt it was worth restringing because the strings were textured to provide more spin, and I had it strung pretty tight at 62 lbs to tone down the power and provide more control. My forehand has better control, and I can hit decent low shots with good pace and high looping shots that still manage to stay in. I'm still working on controlling my two-handed backhand.

The Tour Slam is great for a beginner or intermediate player who is not embarrassed to play with a cheap racquet. It probably plays as well as many of the $40 - $70 graphite and hybrid racquets out there. Again, this is an extremely durable racquet that can take lots of punishment, and I don't get paranoid if I happen to scrape or tap the ground on shots that I'm stretching for.

The 2011 Tour Slam model is essentially the same design with a white, gray, and black paint scheme. I held the previous blue model (the one I own) against the new model, and I noticed that the Power Strings are slightly longer on the new model.

BEYOND...
So I broke down and purchased a more expensive racquet, a Head Youtek Monster. The Head Monster is a much firmer, solid feeling racquet with more control that allows me to take a full swing. However, when I feel I want to unleash more spin and power, I find myself reaching for the good ol' Wilson Tour Slam. I can hit a wicked two-handed top-spin backhand with the Tour Slam. I need to take more of a half or even quarter forehand swing to keep the ball in the court, but I can get TONS of spin off this thing. I'm going to get it restrung soon at about 68/69 lbs in an attempt to tame this beast! Curious to see what the max string tension this racquet can take. If the dang thing breaks, I'm definitely going to shuck out another $17 at Walmart!

best buy Wilson [K] Six. reviews

The Wilson K Six Two 100 is the next generation of the nCode n6 and nSix Two and remains one of the most versatile choices in the K Factor line. With the KSix Two, Wilson has combined the power, stability, and crispness of K Factor technology with a slightly more versatile, and a surprisingly controlled 25mm beam. No longer head heavy (as with previous generation n6 and Hammer 6.2), the KSix Two is more maneuverable and feels slightly lighter than its 10.5 oz. strung weight suggests. The KSix Two suits a wide variety of playing styles and ability levels, as long as the player possesses a moderate to long swing. All [K] Factor racquets utilize Wilson's proprietary next-generation [K]arophite Black structure which adds additional bonds between the SiO2 and graphite molecules on a nanoscopic scale, resulting in more feel and a stronger, more stable racquet. Overall, there are 4 new key [K] Factor technology concepts found in various configurations depending on the [K] Factor model. Let me begin by saying that I'm an intermediate/advanced player who bought this racquet for all-court play. I'm am offensive/defensive baseliner. Though I make the trip to the net when play dictates.

Basics: The K Six-Two is very good for those who have medium to long strokes and are looking for something that offers a good compromise between oversized racquets (110+ sq. in.) and compact racquets (~90 sq. in.). It delivers a very good mix of power and control when strung at the balance of its recommended stringing tension (@ 58 lb.). At 10.6 oz. it's weighted fairly closely to the racquets of the pros, so those just starting out might find it a tad on the heavy side.

Advanced: I recommend hitting flatter shots with this racquet since its string bed is 16 X 19. The denser pattern designates a slight preference for flatter shots as opposed to shots with spin. This is because there are more strings touching the ball at the contact point. More strings in contact indicates a preference for power. Less strings in contact would indicate that a racquet was designed for more spin, since there is more "bite" on the ball at contact. On a side note, I use the backhand slice and forehand topspin in my games and the Six-Two actually did well for both shots.

To sum things up: the K Six-Two is a great value racquet that is good for intermediate to advanced players. Those who are looking to find a good all-around racquet won't be disappointed. The Six-Two's weight and string pattern are slightly more partial to flat shots, but implementing spin-oriented shots is also quite possible. I bought the Wilson K Six.Two tennis racquet for my daughter who has decided to play on her high school tennis team. Her coach and another high school tennis coach I know recommended the Wilson N Sixt Two,but Wilson no longer makes that racquet. They've replaced it with the K Six.Two, which delivers both power and a great sense of touch, making it extremely effective at both the net and the baseline. My daughter reported an improvement in her game from the first time she used the racquet.

I had looked all over the Internet hoping to avoid the $180 price tag. Late, late one evening I decided to check Amazon. They were offering the Wilson K Six.Two in a price range of $44 (price mistake?)to $159. At $159, it was a good buy, but at $44 with free shipping it was the deal of a lifetime. I paid $44 for a brand new Wilson K Six.Two racquet. My daughter loves her new racquet and her daddy loves the great deal! Thank you, Amazon!! I've had my Wilson [K] Six.Two for around a year now, and I absolutely love it. I play tennis for fun, but with other guys who play very well (not just messing around on the court). I was in the hunt for a nice racket that would give me better speed, yet good control, and I must say, this racket gives me both! I get a lot of pop off serves and get really good power off shots, yet I still feel I am able to control the shots too. The racket is just the right weight, actually a bit lighter than my old Head racket, which I like a lot. And the 100-inch head gives you a little grace with not hitting the ball in the sweet spot every time. Overall, I am highly pleased with this Wilson product. Highly recommended. I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years old and hasn't been restrung since 1999. So I decided technology would have advanced so far that it wasn't worth getting it restrung, so bought the Wilson. It is a bit lighter and tighter so helps with my backhand (which is not a consistent shot), but I kept thinking I was (especially) mishitting my forehand - figured I was rusty. However I just tried my brother's Prince O3 (which is strung a bit tighter) and could return everything and it felt amazing. There is something wrong with the Wilson - it feels hard with a tiny sweetspot.it might be improved with a restring, but I don't want to invest another $25 in a losing proposition. I even tried my older racquet and could even hit better with that. Avoid. This tennis racquet is stylish, light weight, and very comfort to hold in hand. It comes with a Wilson bag for carrying. It is really light, even a woman can swing it easily. Awesome!

best buy Head Liquid Metal reviews

This is my second Tennis racket, i have the Wilson US Open as a beginner and played with it for a year. I have been playing with the Head LiquidMetal 8 for a week now and i have to say it is amazing. Extremely light(on the UPS scale stringed it weighed .60 lbs) and packed with a punch this racket has increased my confidence level tremendously, i can't blame anything on the racket anymore so i try extra hard and have definitely improved a lot in just a week. Look and feel of the racket is definitely a plus, it has the integrated vibration dampers so you can't lose it while playing. Comes with a full cover in Black and Silver/Gray to match the racket. I got this with Free Shipping through Amazon - MidWest Sports - with no tax, even the stores can't beat that. Got the Racket and 2 cans of Balls delivered at my door for what other stores are selling only the racket for.Very good racquet with a perfect blend of power and control. It is best suited for intermediate players, but improving beginners as well as advanced players will find it is a nice racquet to play with. The only time I found it a bit difficult to control was when I was trying to hit the ball really hard and heavy or at the net when given very little time for volley. Otherwise it performs really well at the net, as well as in other parts of the court. It is light and feels right in the hand. Very good deal for this price. Just getting back to tennis after many years following shoulder injury. Previous A Grade Comp player - now just social tennis. Bought Head Liquidmetal 8 racquet online through Amazon and it was delivered to my address in Sydney Australia in about one week. Excellent racquet to play with, huge sweet spot, feels light and well balanced with minimal vibration transmitted. A very smooth transaction, excellent racquet and good experience generally. I was using "Walmart" rackets before (25-40 Dollars range) and one of my friends had this racket which felt quite lighter and was softer on my elbows.

I played with it a casual game as well and found it quite good, so I purchased it.

I play both full swings and spins.

I've used it extensively in past 4 weeks and found that it is indeed better for my elbows. However, my swing is gone. It feels heavy when I try to move it around faster, which wasn't the case with early rackets that I had.

So, will I recommend it? Sure, if you are playing long swing games from behind the court lines. But if you are thinking about going back and forth with quick swings on the court and get fast swings on the serves as well... this may not be the best choice. I am a beginner (been taking lessons for about 3 months) and just had a racket I picked up used at a sporting goods store. I felt like I was ready for "the right" racket so after some research I picked up the Liquidmetal 8. What a difference! There is a marked improvement in the shots I'm taking and I miss less because of the large sweet spot. Would definitely recommend this racket!

This racket description and reviews made me to but this racket and unfortunately ended as a disappointing experience.

The first problem is

Racket makes lot of irritating sound and does not provide control/power

Racket does vibrate while return and not smooth

I do not recommend this product neither for upgrade nor for someone to start with

beginners can always buy 20 USD walmart racket and intermediate/advanced players can look for some proven rackets such as head microgel, prince 03 etc around 100 USD instead of wasting 65 USD on this one

I bough this racket from paddlepro seller I've just started playing again in a club and my old Prince is 15 years old and hasn't been restrung since 1999. So I decided technology would have advanced so far that it wasn't worth getting it restrung, so bought the Wilson. It is a bit lighter and tighter so helps with my backhand (which is not a consistent shot), but I kept thinking I was (especially) mishitting my forehand - figured I was rusty.

There is something wrong with the Wilson - it feels hard with a tiny sweetspot.it might be improved with a restring, but I don't want to invest another $25 in a losing proposition. I even tried my older racquet and could even hit better with that. Avoid. This is my fisrt time practicing with a racquet so I searched the best option according my conditions and amateur skills. Now I know, playing tennis, the k six two was my best choice This tennis racquet is stylish, light weight, and very comfort to hold in hand. It comes with a Wilson bag for carrying. It is really light, even a woman can swing it easily. Awesome!
