    Im lookin to get back into tennis and need a good racket. Iv been lookin online at different rackets but theres so many its confusing so any recommendations would be welcome and any good sites to buy from would also be welcome. Also im not sure about grip sizes or the different types of strings so any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance:)

    Where in the country are you? If you are in Dublin, go to Martyn Evans Sports in Fitzwilliam Tennis Club. Their website is rackets.ie

    They will give you the best price and best advice. Dont worry about strings, they come with the racket. They will make sure grip size is ok.

    Is there a shop in the tennis village cork? Or in the club in Sunday's well or rushbrook.
    If not, and I hate to say this but there are rackets in elverys. There was a sale on a good prince racket in their stores in dublin so probably cork too.

    You honestly don't need to spend more than 80. But don't spend less than 60.
    Just make sure it's graphite and you can't go too wrong.

    Yeah that's a good racket. Especially for 40 euro.
    Sometimes the multi sports shops come good.
    Just stay away from the rival tennis balls!

    Did you join a club?
