Heyyy, I’m an 18-year-old girl and I’m about to start my first lessons. I’m looking for a racket that will work for me both as a beginner and as I get more experienced. What do you think of the Babolat Boost Drive? Or what racket would you recommend?
Thanks for the info!
I got an olympus tennis racket for £15 from fb marketplace. Pretty good for beginner like me.
Hey Richard, thanks for the video! I’m a petite 22yo and not the strongest, and I’m looking to start playing tennis. I’m currently looking for a good beginner-friendly racket that won’t break the bank. Do you have any specific recommendations?
