IDEAL WEIGHT AND RACKET FOR

[bugraguner]

Hello everyone. I have been playing tennis for 1.5 years and my level is 4.5-5.0 at age 39. I played with 300gr 100sq Head Instinct then I switched to Pro Staff 97L 290gr because of the weight. I felt 300gr and additional string made me exhausted. Now I’m using 290gr pro staff very control oriented and confident. But there is something wrong about my racket. Now I feel lighter for the swings and some of defensive shots that I do going weak. Do you have any advice? How should I go? Should I continue and add some lead or different tension for the pop? Please give me some tips.
Thanks.

Hello guys. I have been playing tennis for 1 year and I’m 38. I started playing with blade 98 v7 (305g) then felt it’s too difficult to control the stick for beginners like me.

So, you were a self-confessed beginner in February and you are a 4.5/5.0 now? Are you talking UTR or NTRP ratings? The answer of what is suitable for you would vary a lot based on whether your level is UTR 4.5/5 or NTRP 4.5/5.0 as the weight of shot you will get from your opponents will be very different. Also, you are an unicorn if you became a NTRP 5.0 1.5 years after starting tennis in your late thirties.

I consider myself in NTRP
