Hi to all my fellow mylotters!! I've been using mid size racket since i learned how to play tennis until now. I have over-size one but i find it hard to use or is it im just not used to it. For you, what size of racket suits you best? Thanks and more power to you all!!

Well if your just starting out in tennis, an over sized racket would be the best choice because of the larger sweet spot and will help maintain more control. A mid-sized racket would only make it tougher to develop many aspects of tennis and require much more experience with tennis. I'm not understanding how a over-sized racket is causing more trouble but that's probably personal preferences. I have started out tennis with a over-sized racket once and now using a mid-sized.
Best of luck

As for me, I used Mid-size racket to improve my center racket hitting skills and to improve my control.

cartrightGIS,
I feel this has got to be the feel of the racket being different with the balance of the oversize racket being the considerable factor here.
The balance of the rackets are usually different with different brands, makes, models and materials, which is being considered towards a users playing characteristics.
You may want to check with the authorized dealer of your misfit oversize racket to see if there is a model that has a similar balance or swing index or grip size to your current mid-size racket.

I think there is no need to go to all that hustle to get used on using an over-sized racket, Maybe i just need to train myself and be used to it. Thanks my friend!!
