Hello Everybody,
My daughter has really been getting into tennis and would like to get a new racquet. I was wondering for some racquet advice for her. She had been playing with a Head Extreme 360 Lite with a 4 1/4 grip, but then she started playing with her 11 year old brother’s Babolat Pure Drive Lite 4 ⅛ and likes the feel of that better. So I have a couple questions.
1. She is 14 and fairly strong, but prefers lighter racquets. Should I purchase a “lite” racquet for her or a regular weight racquet?
2. She is about 5’3” and 100 lbs. She says she prefers the 4 ⅛ grip, but I think her fitting is more a 4 ¼ grip. Is a smaller grip perhaps better because she prefers it?
3. What are popular racquets for up and coming juniors? I was considering the Lite versions of Pure Drive or maybe the Aero Pro Lite. Any recommendation would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
