Tennis equipment is an absolute must for anyone who wants to play tennis. It definitely includes more things than, for example, accessories for fitness training in the gym. If you are serious about tennis, focus on all the categories below.
- Rocket
- Ball
- Equipment bag
- Clothing
Of course, quality tennis equipment also includes many other things that will come in handy. Typical examples are tapes, nets, caps, but also sweatbands. Last but not least, you should not forget about appropriate footwear.
Tennis racket as a springboard
The most basic equipment is of course a tennis racket. In its case, parameters such as stiffness, weight, head size and the necessary balance play a crucial role. Buy a tennis racket with your experience in mind.
Experience | Rocket size |
Beginner | Oversize |
Advanced | Midplus |
Professional | Midsize |
Head size can range from 600 cm2 up to 740 cm2 and more. Tennis equipment of this type is also associated with the aforementioned stiffness. It is usually RA45 and less, but also RA70 and more. Again, it depends on experience.
Other tennis equipment
You'd think that tennis ball is nothing special, or a ball like a ball. But the opposite is true. There are at least two basic and essential types of balls available. One of them is for soft surfaces like grass and clay. The other is for hard surfaces. You should also carry all your tennis equipment in a large enough bag. Special backpacks are no exception.
Tennis clothing
And what clothes to choose for tennis? The ideal solution is, of course, a short-sleeved shirt or polo shirt. With shorts and good shoes. Under no circumstances underestimate the production material and design of tennis clothing. It should be functional materialof which polyester is an example. In this case, forget about classic cotton very quickly.
Tennis equipment is of course subject to different qualities and therefore different investments. The important thing is that both beginners and advanced players can find their own.
