How to Choose a Tennis Racquet for Intermediate?

However, if you are interested to read about all the important factors of a tennis racquet for all levels, I would suggest that you read our full version of Tennis Racquet Buyer’s Guide.

Before buying a tennis racquet, you should know the type of your game according to these points.

• How often do you play? Do you want to improve your game fast?
• Do you prefer power, control, or comfort?
• Are you a baseliner or net player?
• Do you play singles or doubles?

When you know the answers to these questions, choosing an intermediate racquet won’t be a daunting task.

However, our buyer’s guide will walk you through the whole process of choosing the best tennis racquet for intermediate players

You might also be wondering how we rated each racquet on our list.

Let’s reveal the secret!

Our playtesters test each racquet according to the 12 factors. Then for each factor, we rate the racquet on a scale of 1-10 and then we take the average of the rating of all 12 factors.

Here are the names of those 12 factors. To read about all those factors in detail, read our full version of the buyer’s guide.

• Head Size (Midsize, Midplus, Oversize, Super Oversize)
• Length
• Weight (Including Strung, Unstrung, and Swing weight)
• Balance (HH, HL, EB)
• Grip Size
• Flex/Stiffness
• String Pattern (Open and Closed String Pattern)
• Power
• Control
• Stability
• Comfort
• Maneuverability

Quick Summary of Our Buying Guide:

Generally, all an intermediate player wants from a tweener racquet is a blend of power and control. So, the following points are considered by keeping this feature in mind.

Head Size

Large head size racquets are the ideal choice for intermediate players because such racquet offers an extra margin for error and more forgiveness on every shot. However, if your preference is the shot precision then I recommend small head-size racquets.

In general, I would recommend a tennis racquet with a head in the range of 95 to 100 square inches to intermediate players.

Power

Power is another important factor that needs to be considered. If you’re confident enough that you can generate your body power then a low-medium level racquet is recommended for you. Otherwise, go for a racquet with a high level of power like Head Ti. S6.

Control

Intermediate players want to have less wrist variance when hitting a shot which means they want a racquet that they can control fully.

More and more control means less head size of a racquet even in the range of 85 to 98 square inches.

I know you might be thinking that this range of head size contradicts the above-mentioned range.

We can compensate for this by increasing the strung weight (while keeping the racquet in head-light, HL, case) of the racquet to keep the blend of power and control in the ideal case.

The benefit of a head-light head is that it will make the racquet easy to swing to keep the power and control in your hand.

Weight

I recommend mid-weight racquets to intermediate players for a better blend of power and control. Mid-weight racquet ranges from 270g to 295g strung weight.

This ends our buying guide here. By now, you know what to look for before buying the best tennis racquet for intermediate players.

To summarize this guide in:

How does it feel to have an intermediate racquet?

When you get a chance to hold an intermediate racquet in your frame, this is how it should feel to you.

• Easy to swing
• Less impact/strain on your body when hitting a powerful shot. It means that you should be able to generate enough power from the racquet.
• Head Light. It means that you should feel the more weight of the racquet in the handle instead of the head.
• A little bit stiff frame
• Strung weight in the mid-range neither too light nor too heavy.

Here are my recommendations in the form of a quick tennis chart for an intermediate racquet based on specifications.

Head Size	Strung Weight	Power vs Control	Stiffness/Flex
85 sq.in. to 100 sq.in.	270g to 295g	Well Balanced	Medium (61 – 70 RA)

Are you still with me and reading the article?

If yes, I assure you, you’re on the right path to choose the best racquet for intermediate players.

Another incredible technology that beautifies this frame is Graphene 360.

Torsional means the torque and twisting of the frame during off-center shots.

10. Wilson Blade Team – Best Forgiving Intermediate Racquet

Wilson Blade Team racquet with 99 square inches midplus head size offers impressive spin-potential and controllable power. 3 pts head light balance offers incredible maneuverability in the game.

The reason behind its impressive spin-potential is the thinner beam construction (22mm / 23mm / 22.5mm) which increases the dwell time (the time the ball stays on the strings during contact). The longer the ball stays on the stringbed, the more spin it can generate. Plus, this increased dwell time adds more control which is a plus point for aggressive players.

Moreover, Wilson Blade Team comes pre-strung with multifilament strings which are the most comfortable tennis racquet strings. This makes Wilson Blade Team easy on the wrist and an arm-friendly racquet.

The strung weight of this racquet is 295g (10.4oz) which makes it the best choice not only for intermediate players but for beginner level players as well who want to improve their game and take it to the next level.
