Tennis Racket Quick Guide

Not in a rush? Check out our detailed racket guide.

Beginners: a larger head size gives more power and a bigger sweet spot — forgiving on off-centre hits.
Intermediate players: a mid-plus head size balances power and control.
Advanced players: often prefer smaller head sizes for precision, but it needs consistent technique.

Lighter (260–280g): easier to manoeuvre — good for beginners, juniors, or slower swing speeds.
Medium (280–310g): a mix of power and control — suits many intermediate players.
Heavier (310g+): more stability and power, but needs good technique — preferred by many advanced players.

Head-Heavy: more power, especially for shorter swings.
Even-Balance: a balanced feel, suits a broad range of players.
Head-Light: easier to manoeuvre — favoured by advanced players and net play in doubles.

Open (16x18 or 16x19): more spin and power, but strings wear faster.
Dense (18x20): more control and better string durability.

Ruler test: measure from the middle of your palm to the tip of your ring finger — 4 to 4⅜ inches suits most adults.
On-racket test: hold the racket for a backhand — there should be a finger’s width of space between your fingers and the base of your thumb.
Common sizes: G0 = 4", G1 = 4⅛", G2 = 4¼", G3 = 4⅜", G4 = 4½", G5 = 4⅝".
When in doubt, go smaller — an overgrip can build a grip up, but you can’t reduce one.

Heaviest racket in the range, the Tour version offers increased stability and control on shots.

Weighing 320g, the Pure Strike Tour is recommended for advance players who are wanting extra stability for full swings. Players who are able to handle the heavy frame will find a solid and stable feel when hitting the ball cleanly. The 16x19 string pattern offers added spin potential and is great for slicing near the net.

The Pure Strike has long been Babolat's leading range for players wanting to keep the ball under control while striking with full confidence and feel. The latest edition takes this one step further with the introduction of Control Frame Technology which improves the stability of the frame, allowing for more precision on shots. The other major addition is C2 Pure Feel, a cutting-edge vibration filtration lay-up system that makes this edition of the Pure Strike the most satisfying to play with.
