Considering it's 30 dollars to restring a tennis racket, this thing is a great price if you want to try out the sport. After some significant time playing, you may want to upgrade to something that fits your play better.

Long time player here. Head is a top name in tennis rackets, although at this price I think this would be best suited for a child. The grip size is 4 1/4, which would be small for most adult men (unless your name is Nadal). But it would be a good size for most children or early teens and most women.

I've was once a division 1 men's college player and have been an instructor for more than 30 years. If you are considering this racket (or any racket sold at Walmart, Target et al) you will likely be much better off going to the local Goodwill store or a yard sale or flea market and buying something that is properly designed, balanced and weighted to hit tennis balls. (A decent frame with old strings will cost you $15 used, and an overgrip and restring at a tennis pro shop will cost you about $40). Walmart gets especially low-end models (of everything) which do not come close to delivering the quality, balance, stability, vibration-control etc. of a proper tennis racket- which will cost more. This is especially important for new players, since tennis is already difficult to learn as it is, and utilizing a toy racket will make it seem even more difficult. Strings are disposable, and only last a finite period of time. Any racket that you purchase (whether a cheap model like this one- or the most expensive pro model) will likely need to be strung before use, since that has as much to do with the function of the racket as the frame. Tension of the string is highly affected by time and changes in temperature. I would guess the cheap string used in walmart rackets would be unusable even after being freshly strung- but when you see it on the shelf- the string has already been in the frame for over a year, and is no longer anywhere close to the intended tension. I do not play pickleball (but the tennis facility where I work has a huge pickleball center as well) and while pickleball paddles look like a hunk of plastic- the pros who work in pickleball tell me the same is true for pickleball paddles. Don't buy cheap, because it won't be engineered or designed for the task and it won't have the characteristics to deliver the needed performance.

LOL, everyone listen to the tennis instructor for more than 30 years!
I bought this racquet a few years ago and it has been great for me. I used to play racquetball and switched to tennis as I have more friends that play. I have beat everyone I played with this racquet - against others who have "better" gear than me. Don't listen to this guy, if you want a cheap racquet to try out a new sport, pick this up. I'm buying another one so I can have a backup or spare for other friends to use.
