based on head size, swing level, and power level.

The companies dont matter to much, there are good raquets in each company.

You should look at the weight and headsize of a raquet. You sound pretty good, so i would get a midsize headsize. Like around a 100" But it just depends what you like. Demo a few different ones, get ones with different weight so you can see which one you like better.

Just make sure its not a head heavy frame, or very light frame, as those 2 factors are the main cause of injuries.

I suggest something 11 oz or heavier, and at least 2pts headlight

good luck

The most important decision in buying your racket is whether or not it suits your game. You do not want to have to learn to use your new racket. I recommend you ask your coach or someone that can give you a good assessment of what your game looks like because that will factor what kind of racket you want to get.

For example, if you can generate a lot of your own power on your groundstrokes then you’re better off going with a racket that has a denser string pattern like 18×20 so that you can get the added control from a denser string pattern. Another factor would be how fast you swing your current racket. If you’re strong enough to swing a moderately heavy racket then you shouldn’t worry about using a heavier racket, because most injuries are from bad technique not necessarily from using a heavy frame.

There’s a few more factors like how you personally feel the racket. If you’re doing a lot of doubles you might want a more maneuverable racket so that your net game doesn’t suffer. I recommend that after you find out what your game looks like that you read reviews about certain frames at tenniswarehouse. They go really into depth about how the racket responds to certain types of games, and you can also demo rackets for only the cost of shipping.

Narrow down your search to about three or four rackets and then demo them out and pick one. As involving as this sounds, it is a very important step in maintaining and improving your game. You will probably enjoy the frame you use for a few years so this is a decision that you should take the time to get right.
