How to choose your first pro racket frame
Maya Bennett · 3/2/2026
Weight, balance and core density explained so you can buy your first pro frame with confidence.
Choosing your first pro frame comes down to three things: weight, balance and core density. A mid-weight carbon frame between 360 and 375 grams gives new players control without sacrificing power.
Start with a round shape and a soft EVA core. You will get a bigger sweet spot, fewer mishits and far more confidence at the net. As your swing speeds up, move toward diamond shapes for extra punch.
