    About to start playing again and would like advice on above before I shell out on a more expensive racket and start banging it off the wall.
    I suppose strength/durability is what I'm looking for?
    Cheers.

    If I were you I'd go into the Fitzwilliam Club shop, they've great helpful staff and lots of stock you can hold in your hand and get a feel for, they've a website too.
    If you are really rust then I'd say any cheap racket would do, 15 20 euro maybe, you can get a better one when/if you stick at it for a while, mine was 90 euro and is a good as I need for Saturday league matches. I get it re gripped alot in Fitz, you can't beat a good grip I play 3 or 4 times a week so I might get a month out of a grip, they are only 3 euro put on in Fitz. You might want to look at shoes too, lots of people use running runners and I did too, but you can't beat a proper pair of runners, they're pretty cheap too for basic pair.

    I found out that good rackets are made of one material so they don't flex or bend cheaper ones tend to bend and flex so you've less control.
