Wilson
4.3
(87)
"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."
"Try the prostaff v14, i'd say v13 but good luck getting those."
"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"

Babolat
4.2
(81)
"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."

Yonex
4.2
(54)
"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
(35)
"Head Speed Pro 2022"
"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."
"At 14 yo buy an adult light graphene racket."
"I think it’s a supremely underrated modern control racket."

"Maybe consider Dunlop FX500. It's considered a Pure Drive clone."
"Dunlop CX 200 tour, Wilson Prostaff RF 97 or 97 (I would probably tinker with lead for the lighter one)."
"Dublop CX 200 tour is fantastic and should be on heavy discount."

"Oh the ol swirly… great racket."
"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."
