What are the best tennis rackets for serve and volley players?

Answer 1

Rackets differ slightly for everything you want to do. Rackets really don't make the biggest difference, that's just what companies will tell you to purchase their product.

Don't get me wrong, there is a difference, just not a huge one that's worth spending $70 more dollars for.

That being said, i would personally go with a light, small head racket for volley and net play. A heavy racket will aid with power, but you don't need power when volleying, you need placement. With a small head(98' is a perfect one) racket youll be able to easily and quickly move your racket around to return a volley as best as possible. Also, a light head racket will allow you to easily adjust when serving, and really aid in placing your serves. however with a heave racket, your serves will be powerful and often drop after the bounce, making them hard to return.

You would be off very well with a Head Radical racket. The orange ones. They're very light and headsize 98' which is nice and small for you.
