The answer depends on what you are looking for.  You can find reasonable, good quality tennis racquets for under $100.  We’ve got a selection of new and used cheap tennis racquets available for you.

If you are just starting out, I would recommend either borrowing racquets from your friends.  Ideally, you will have friends whose level and style of play vary enough to allow you to try a variety of different racquets before deciding on what style or materials are right for you.  If you don’t have anyone you can borrow a racquet from, you may want to consider a cheap tennis racquet.  You can find low end racquets in the $20 price range. However, you need to keep in mind that these racquets may not adequately represent the quality of play you can expect to get from a better racquet.

Some people wonder why you’d buy a tennis racquet that costs more than the basic variety you can find at Sears or K-Mart.  The reason is simple.  There is a lot of science behind the making of a tennis racquet.  There have been studies of the kinesiology of the most advanced players.  From this, manufacturers have designed racquets that are tuned for specific types of play.  For example, there are tennis racquets that are designed to be more flexible and some that are designed to be less flexible.  This will impact the power and accuracy of your shot.  Some racquets are designed for the baseline player, while others are made for the all-around player.  You can even find a racquet which will help to minimize the likelihood of developing tendonitis, or tennis elbow.

As with anything you might buy, you need to look at quality versus price.  You can find good quality cheap tennis racquets, but you shouldn’t expect to find a high quality racquet in the bargain bin at Sears.

Finding the right racquet that complements your style of play can take a bit of time.  If you have friends who play tennis, borrow a few different racquets from friends who have varying styles of play.  This will help you to determine which style works best for you.  Then you can go on the hunt for a cheap tennis racquet that meets your criteria.

Intermediate players who are looking to buy a racquet should strongly consider the The Prince EXO³ Red.  This racquet utilizes technology to improve ball spin, accuracy, and energy return. It is a great racquet for players who have moderate, powerful strokes. This racquet uses something called the Energy Channel which is a sculpted groove directly in the frame that provides added stability, boosts ball control and increases spin by up to 25%. It also increases virtual head size for a significantly larger sweet spot.

For players who tend to stay at the baseline, the Babolat Aeropro Drive is the best choice.  There is a “separate” shock absorber which results in a crisper pop when you connect with the ball.  The Aeropro Drive offers a good feel on impact and excellent power if you are a strong player.  Since most baseline players tend to be stronger, this works extremely well for this style of player.

And finally, if you suffer from tennis elbow, you will do very well with the Head Protector series of tennis racquets.  These racquets have an electronic dampening system.  What does this mean?  The racquet uses a microchip which helps to control the vibration generated when the racquet hits the ball. Tennis elbow occurs because the racquet vibrates when it hits the ball.  These vibrations travel up your arm and cause inflammation, soreness or even mild tearing of the tendons near the elbow.  The Head Protector series of racquets utilize the electronic dampening system to minimize the vibrations which cause tennis elbow.  The grip on these racquets contains an air chamber and utilizes a high-tech elastomer on its surface which provides excellent comfort and slip prevention while reducing residual vibration. Overall, this is an excellent series of racquets for anyone with a tendency towards arm and shoulder injuries.

Of course, tennis racquet reviews are subjective.  The above suggestions work best for most people.  The only way to find out which is the best tennis racquet for you is to try it out on the court.
