Before now people have asked which brand of oversize tennis racquet they should buy. It is not as straight forward as just picking a make – every company makes good and bad racquets.

If I had to answer the question I would say that Prince oversize are usually a good buy. But that is a very abbreviated answer because there are many ifs and buts that I would like to add.

Just buying a racquet because it is a “good make”, because it was half price, or your favourite player uses it are not good reasons. It’s better to try and match the racquet to suit your playing style.

Some racquets produce great groundstrokes, others are nice to volley with…. It all depends how your strokes are. Ideally you should read reviews of specific models and find out it was designed to match your game.

If you are looking for a budget racquet then again Prince OS are a good choice, because they don’t skimp on strings. Quality strings are just as important as the frame. Prince’s factory string is often “Synthetic Gut Original” – which is one of my favourite strings.
