How to Buy a Tennis Racquet

Traditional Length or Extra Long?

It wasn�t too many years ago that every racquet was 27 inches long. Now, adult racquets come in lengths of up to 28 inches (extra long).

Everything else being equal, extra-long frames are more powerful than 27-inch models because the contact point is farther away from your body which allows you to generate greater momentum on your swing.

The downside is that an extra-long racquet may not be as maneuverable as a standard length frame, so while you have more power, you may sacrifice some control.
