Tennis FAQ 
Q: What is the best racket?A: It depends on your game. If you are a serve and volleyer, a smaller, light head will be best. If you are a base-liner, an oversized, heavy head is appropriate. If you have tennis elbow, you need a flexible racket. For more power, use a stiffer racket. Or if you have enough power, try a more flexible racket. The best answer, though, is to demo the racket before buying it to be sure you're comfortable with it.Q: What size grip do I need?A: Hold the racket as you would normally and place the index finger of your other hand between the base of the thumb and fingertips of the racket head. If there is a gap, the grip is too big. If it overlaps, it is too small. It should fit comfortably.Q: When should I re-string my racket?A: Re-string after approximately 35 hours of play. Do not wait for the string to break. Only use a stringer who belongs to the United States Racquet Stringing Association and is a Certified Racquet Technician to check out your racket and strings.Q: Should I take tennis lessons?A: Yes. Do not allow bad habits to develop.Q: Where can I take tennis lessons?A: From a professional who is certified by the United States Professional Tennis Association or the United States Professional Tennis Registry and who has a "Pro" rating.BEACH-NET!
