Quick Note from Coach

ADVANCED PLAYERS - 12 & Older

Yonex Ezone 98, 98L, 100, 100L

Yonex Percept 98, 100

Yonex VCore 98, 100

I like all the Yonex Racquets but commonly play with an Ezone (Tour or 98).

JUNIOR RACQUETS - 11 & Younger

Additional consideration for younger players are the 26" racquets Yonex has available - check them out by clicking this link.

INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED PLAYERS - ALL AGES

Pure Drive or Pure Drive Lite

Pure Aero

I have a Pure Aero and the power and stability are remarkable.  Great racquets overall for all types of play and styles.

GRIP SIZES 

12 & Under - Grip Size range 4" to 4-1/4"14 & Over - Grip Size range 4-1/4" and up 

These type of tennis backpacks are value packed - from racquet specific storage to shoe and wet-item storage - they have it all.  

Babolat is shown, but other brands include Head, Wilson & Yonex.

Playing great AND looking great - well, it's always been my strategy!

I always encourage parents to dress their kiddos for comfort , and having breathable and proper fitting clothing for tennis is key.

Pro Tip:  Always buy shorts/tennis skirts with pockets for tennis for match-play.

The racquet is an extension of the hand/arm/body - the connection point needs to be dry, comfortable and reliable - I've used Yonex brand grips now for the past 6 months .

Other brands I recommend:  Diadem, Head or Wilson.
