Wilson
4.3
(91)
"Ultra is powerful and will help you to develop shape/control of your strokes."
"The most popular selling racquet for rec players I believe is the Clash. It's got good power, it's easy to use, and most importantly, it's arm friendly."
"I'd just recommend a Wilson Clash, in this case Clash 100 or 100L which is on sale."
"Some lighter version of the Wilson Clash (100L or 100UL) might be a good idea."
"Best options for most people include things like Babolat Pure Drive, Wilson Ultra, and Yonex Ezone 100."
"I use a Wilson Ultra as a 2.5, it’s been great for for me."
"Wilson ultra 100 is also nice."
"I bought the Blade 98 v8 (16x19). Love it! Get more power out of it and it’s more forgiving than my ncode."
"Wilson Clash 100L"
"Clash 100, if you want a cheat code racket (power, spin) and you have bad form."

Babolat
4.2
(84)
"The new Babolat pure drive 100 and yonex ezone 100 which are coming out early next year would be good options for you."
"Pure drive or ezone 100. the easy power, easy depth, and forgiveness of those rackets are a cut above."
"Most popular racquet for lower levels of tennis and it will scale with you when you improve."
"Babolat Pure Drive one of the most popular starter rackets in that sense that as you get better, you can still use it as an intermediate or even advanced player."
"Go with pure drive or aero"
"Try the Pure Strike 97 (or Pure Strike VS). Add some lead at 12. It’s whippy, precise, and doesn’t launch the ball."
"Babolat pure drive, head speed mp."
"Best options for most people include things like Babolat Pure Drive, Wilson Ultra, and Yonex Ezone 100."
"She decided on babolat pure drive team, grip 1."
"With that said, something like a Pure Aero or Pure Drive would be fine rackets."
#3
Yonex
4.2
(59)
"Best serving racquet, good sweet spot for a 98 and fast for a 1 hander."
"Consider the vcore 100, it's a great all-around racket and you're experienced enough to handle it."
"And as others have said, you won’t outgrow those rackets."
"Get a yonex ezone 100. you can thanks me later."
"Yonex Ezone 100 is another that is close to a Pure Drive."
"Best options for most people include things like Babolat Pure Drive, Wilson Ultra, and Yonex Ezone 100."
"I really like vcore 100, extreme 100 and aero 100 for more spin."
"I would suggest demoing anything in 100 from the Yonex lineup."
"Get a used Ezone 100 or Vcore, put soft poly strings around 45lbs."
"I use Yonex Ezone 98L which I really like."

Head
4.3
(39)
"Head Boom MP is a good choice."
"The Gravity MP is a really great frame for a new player because it’s very easy on the elbow."
"Can't go wrong with a ezone 100 or radical 102."
"Head Boom Team 270g would be perfect for beginner!"
"Check out head team rackets. Boom, speed and radical. 102-105 heads. They are light, easily customized, and great hitters."
"It's super forgiving and comfortable, great at slicing and at the net."
"I love my Head Gravity MP."
"The Speed Pro is favored by many advanced players for its maneuverability and control."
"I think it’s a supremely underrated modern control racket."
"Before I got to the point you said what you have I was going to recommend the Boom MP lol."

"I have a OHBH and really enjoy the Dunlop 200cx tour."
"Dunlop FX 500"
"Right now, tennis warehouse has Dunlop SX 300 on sale for $100"

"Other popular options are the Dunlop FX500 or ezone 100."
"I switched last year to the Dunlop CX200 Tour 18x20 and I love it."
"I switched to Dunlop CX 200 Tour, weighted up."
"Yes, the Head you linked is a good racket and a good deal."
"Maybe consider Dunlop FX500. It's considered a Pure Drive clone."

Prince

(10)
"Highly recommend checking out the Prince Phantom. It’s been great for me."
"Best for my flat 2HBH is the Prince Synergy 98, something about that 18x18 is magic."
"I would recommend something like Prince Phantom."
"Prince is a perfectly fine racket company."
"I use a Prince Tour 95 (95 sq in 335g 8pts HL) I like it especially cause of the maneuverability."
"Best blind buy I can suggest is a Prince Textreme Warrior."
"If you like your Prince now, check out their Phantom line."
"I’ve got the Phantom 100x and I’m loving it so far."
"The 2 racquets I like right now are the Prince Phantom 93p and Dunlop CX 200 Tour."
"Might be good to try."

"Do you have a local tennis shop nearby? They have dozens of rackets you can 'demo'."
"The only answer to this is to go demo racquets."
"Sounds like you'll have to demo a racquet."

"In my opinion, it’s very good for beginners. It’s stiff and light, and you can focus on developing your wrist movements, instead of worrying about power."
"Great racket, great price. Maybe a little lighter than preferred for a beginner, but its a forgiving enough racket that it doesnt really matter."
#10
Unsquashable
4.0

"I second Unsquashable. Also, if you're in the US or Canada, strongly recommend Xamsa."
"Bang for buck it's hard to beat Unsquashable rackets."
#11
Tecnifibre

(2)
"I would demo the TF40 if it's possible. I use the 315g 16x19 and it's great for 1HBH."
"Tecnifibre TFight iso 305 or Wilson Shift (I’ve only played with the heavier Pro vs though) would be good options."
