Pretty much agree on this list. Maybe except for no. 3, the racquet. Everybody is talking about beginner friendly racquets. But is it friendly to let you get away with a mishit when you are still in the learning phase? I still remember an older clubmate who came from badminton. Really great chap, good movement, but terrible technique. He only uses a flick of his wrist like he did in badminton, he's even very proud of it. His racquet is light, big and thick. Think of the "granniest" of all granny sticks. Strung with a multi at low tension, what else? An old Pro Staff 85 would have taught him how to swing properly. And here's my top tip, but it might be included in the coach section of tips: record your technique. So you can see every goof in your own swing path by yourself.

There are definitely tons of players who barely notice whether they’re playing with a Wilson or Head racket. I agree with you on that. But on the other hand, there are players who know more about rackets than even the professionals. I think the middle ground is the best approach. From my perspective, beginners shouldn’t play with Roger’s 320g RF 01 PRO racket. Sure, they can, but it might lead to injuries since total beginners don’t usually have perfect technique right away. When choosing the right racket, I think something lighter with a bigger head size is a better option. As you mentioned, this badminton player wouldn’t be able to play tennis the same way with a Pro Staff 85 compared to his light racket As for the footage, you know what? I’ve been recording almost every single match since I started playing tennis, and I completely forgot to mention that as one of my tips! Thanks for reminding me, and thank you for your comment!

How you described your first experience in competitive tennis was hilarious and made me lol. Very much true. It is a bleak reality check for any and all beginners!

Glad it made you laugh. It was the main intention! Thanks for your comment.

Just perfect! So true. I wish I knew these 10+ years ago. Could have reached current level in less than half of that time. Keep adding value here. Kudos!!

I would like to offer some advice on buying your FIRST graphite tennis rackets... A tennis racket should be both an extension of your hand/arm and personality so to go a shop and allow your EYES to be attracted to 5 or 6 rackets but don't pick any of them up. Ask somebody to place them on a table, put on a blindfold and then pick each racket up one by one and give it a few practice swings. Your instinct will tell you which one feels best in your hand and that is the one to buy. Once your skill level increases to a point where you can confidently create and use spins it is time to upgrade your racket. This is when racket characteristics become important - not before! Happy hunting.
