Rackets
For new players just picking up the game, the Head TI S6 is the best on the market for under $100. It has a light titanium structure and large frame, making it easy for new players to practice with. The 16×19 string pattern will help players generate topspin on the ball as they become more skilled, making it the perfect transitional racket.
As for more skilled and intermediate players, the Babolat Pure Drive is unmistakably the best on the market. A hybrid material frame along with an open string pattern gives the Pure Drive a fast feel.
