• Start with your playing level – are you a beginner or a pro
• What kind of game do you like to play – slow and easy or fast paced and aggressive
• What kind of court do you play on – hard, grass or clay
• How often do you play – daily or once a month

Explore the range of tennis racquets

Your tennis racquets are essential for your game, because there is nothing you can do without the right racket. However, making the right choice is essential and here are the factors that you should keep in mind:

• Your playing level has to be first and foremost, because your choice needs to be based on that. A racquet meant for an advanced player will not suit a beginner.
• The size of the head of the racket is also important as it can affect the manner of play.
• You will also have to choose the racket based on the weight – professionals will want a heavier racquet, while beginners might be comfortable with a lighter one.
• Factors such as string and the tension of the string on the racquet will also have to be taken into account.

SportsBunker brings to you one of the largest collections of branded tennis racquets for all playing levels and price points.

Pick the right tennis balls for your game

You would know the tennis ball is just that – a fluorescent yellow ball, which is even used to play gully cricket and other local games! But, when you are picking tennis balls for a proper game, it is important that you pay attention to some points:

• Yet again, your style of playing will be important to consider – beginners will want a ball that is slower and have lesser bounce and professionals will want the opposite.
• What kind of court you are playing on also has to be factored in – a ball that will play well on a grass court might not be the best option for a hard court.

At SportsBunker, you can choose from all the popular brands and you can pick from a variety of packs, in terms of number of balls per pack.

How can tennis grips change your game

When you are looking at picking tennis grips, you are looking at an accessory that is essential for the improvement of your game. A good grip:

• Will ensure that you are able to hold your racquet properly
• Can ascertain that your racquet does not slip out of your hands
• That is also an overgrip can ensure better control

When you come to SportsBunker, you will get to pick and choose from a variety of grips, in terms of colours, sets and brands.       

The right tennis strings will certainly improve your game

Many a times, when you pick a tennis racket, it will come without any string or gutting and this is done so that the player can choose their own string and tension.

• The string should be chosen based on the playing level of the player.
• You also need to choose the string based on the racquet – not all strings will work with all racquets.
• The tension of the string needs to be decided based on your skill level.
• Also take into consideration the material of the string before making the purchase.

Babolat, Head and Wilson are some of the main brands that you will be able to find at SportsBunker.
