Best Tennis Racket Brands

There are more than 15 different tennis racket brands? You certainly have a wide variety of options when buying a new racket. You are probably very familiar with names like Prince, Dunlop, Wilson, and Head, but some brands may sound unfamiliar to you. Don’t overlook these unfamiliar names because they may have the best type of tennis racket for your skill level and play style. Here are some of the best tennis racket brands you should consider:

• Babolat – The company is known for inventing tennis strings, and they produce many different types of rackets for different sports (including badminton and paddle). Well-known tennis players like Andy Roddick and Rafael Nadal have helped make Babolat popular with both recreational and highly competitive players. Babolat’s rackets come with unique features like Cortex Active technology, graphite tungsten technology, Aero Beam, Woofer, and Aero Modular.
  
  
• Wilson – This American company started out in the meatpacking industry. They used animal byproducts to create natural gut tennis strings. Wilson’s popularity surged partly because of the endorsement of players like the Williams sisters and Roger Federer. Technologies like Triad with Iso Zorb, Yoke, Amplifeel, and spin effect technology are all produced by Wilson. To see their bestsellers, look at their Pro Staff line.
