I've been playing tennis since 10 and after 40 years, I like middle of the road racquets such as the Wilson Ultra 100 and Babolet Pure Drive. I own both of them and with slight mods they play somewhat similar. As others mentioned the Slickdeal is going to a local tennis shop and demoing some rackets first, that way you get a racquet you will keep for a long time.
FYI- there are other/better racquets on sale at TW for similar prices:
Yonex eZone- last year's model $179- much more friendly all around racquet
Wilson Ultra 100 V2 older model - $159 one of the best selling raquets 7 years ago
and the best selling racquet in the world:
Babolet Pure Drive 100 , the 2018 model is $179
but I would go to a local tennis shop and demo some to see which one fits your style, Tennis is half psychological so you would p[lay better if you are comfortable with your racquet.

No neighther of these racquets are good for someone trying to just get into tennis. Neighther of these are beginner racquets, and you will struggle to learn the game.
When you are starting to learn the game, the MOST important factor is to not get bored. For that you NEED to get a rally going. Which means should have to be able to get the ball across the net multiple times in a row, and preferably not too far from you are aiming. $15 Walmart rackets are going to serve you a lot better for that, than these advanced level racquets. If you are in doubt and don't know what the specs means, DO NOT BUY this racquet. The reviews are done mostly by advanced players, and there is no point in looking at reviews of these racquets.
Expensive==better does not translate well in tennis.
These racquets are for someone who are already well into their game (more advanced level , around 4.5 NTRP or above), to control their pace and spin. This needs more good setup into the shots, and better technique, which most folks below 4.5 NTRP lacks. And these racquets WILL hurt their ability to play consistent tennis.
When racquets can provide you some help, there is no reason to not use it. And for that look for more beginner level racquets. They are usually less than 9.5oz and head heavy balanced.
Head TI S6 is a really good beginner racquet if you are someone starting the game, and thinks that they are going to play for many years. Walmart rackets are not bad either, and is definitely more value if you are not sure whether you will be playing beyond a year.
You can get a Head TI S6 racket for around $75 or less most of the time, even though the advertised retail price is higher. They are available at many retail shops (Dicks Sporting) and also online.
Ofcourse, if you insist... go ahead and do whatever you prefer to do.

If you are not a pro dont consider PRO racquet.

Is Graphite a better material than the Composite in Ti S6?
Please advise. Thanks!

I can vouch for the Head TI for beginners as a I began playing with it as a teen many years ago. I bought it at the time at Big 5 cuz I was cheap lol, but it turned out very helpful in the long run as it gave me intro's into swinging bigger.

Edit: Something kind of like this:

It's really a matter of what feels good to you, and what qualities (power/control/repeatability/swing weight) you are looking for. Other than power, you really can't predict what a beginner would need or want.
On a side note, the thing that primarily distinguishes more expensive rackets is their consistency from one racket to the next. This is really only important if you are failry advanced, have multiple rackets, and are playing somewhat competitively.

1. Head Ti S6 (and similar ones) are amazing for beginners, yes.
2. No to be anal, but S6 is very light and stiff, both of which are HARD on joints. Luckily, it doesn't matter for beginners because the hit impact is never big. Plus, S6 is very head-heavy, which is another mitigating factor.
3. Beginners are not known to break strings, unless you are one of those string-breakers. (Nobody knows for sure why some people break 'em and others don't)
4. If they do break, then you are one. Just go to shop and get basic synthetic (or multifilament) strings. Perhaps get thicker ones, like 15gauge. Don't get poly just because they don't break, because it's not for beginners for multiple reasons. Don't get anything fancy.
