Many guides recommend very lightweight racquets for beginners, but for adult players, it is often better to choose a racquet that provides sufficient stability and room for long-term development.
For most male beginners, the optimal weight range is:
280–300 grams (unstrung)
Benefits include:
More stable ball contact
Greater control
Better development potential as technique improves
Reduced vibration on impact
A racquet weighing less than 280 grams can start to feel unstable as the pace of play increases.
For female beginners, the recommended weight range is typically:
270–295 grams (unstrung)
This provides an excellent balance of:
Maneuverability
Comfort
Power
Stability
Players with above-average strength or previous experience in racquet sports can comfortably choose models closer to 295 grams.
Many beginners purchase an inexpensive entry-level racquet only to realize after a few months that they want to upgrade.
For this reason, we generally recommend investing in a quality racquet from the start.
Within this price range, you'll find racquets used by:
Ambitious beginners
Recreational players
Club players
Lower-level competitive players
Benefits include:
Higher-quality materials
Increased comfort
Better stability
Longer lifespan
The ability to develop your game for several years without needing to replace your racquet
A racquet in this price category is often a better investment than buying a budget model for around SEK 1,000 and upgrading after just one season.
