choose the racket

網球是一項九十歲後也可繼續的運動.您的目標不是成為專業網球員,二十四歲開始一點也不遲啊.(本人便是在十多年前和您年紀相若時瘋狂‘愛上’網球,現在是ITF認證網球教練.)

成年人用的球拍價錢由港幣數百至二千多元不等,不同價位也有很多選擇.最近Head,Wilson
等品牌更有新產品針對女性市場,要與Prince分一杯羹.

選購時除價錢,製造技術和外觀上的分別,更要注重的是個別球拍重量和swing weight.因太輕或太重兩者都對初學無益.有可能的話最好輕輕揮動(swing)幾下 -要注意安全啊!-
宜選揮動時感覺上不需花太大氣力,暢順而不‘輕飄飄’的為佳.

以下是其它資訊(其實不少朋友己在這版問過或答過類似的問題):

握拍大小(grip size):
東方女性通常是2號,若實際使用後發覺略幼也可簡單地多纒一條overgirp補救.

拍面大小(racquet head size):
初學只要不選細面積(mid size)的便可.除非想挑戰自己的手眼協調能力...^^

拍身長度(racquet length):
現時大多數只有27(標準)和27.5吋(加長)兩種,分別不太大也不是每款型號都生產兩種長度.最好還是以自己揮動時感覺作决定.

最後,如未知會否有興趣持續學習,建議可先向朋友借用,或買三數百元上下的,放棄時也不太可惜.

祝早日感受打球的樂趣!

我建議你不要打網球

因為你得1.53

仲矮過我這些讀緊中學的澳洲香港混血兒

你根本就打唔到

From what you discribe is so general, and it is very hard to recommend anything specific for you. Since you are a grown-up and should have reasonable power from your arm and body coordination, so, I guess you can try something, like O3 White, Pure Drive, PK 7G etc.. These racquets is somewhat not too heavy and quite good balance btw power and control.

I am not recommend students (beginners) to pick those tweeners racquet, as this will give the students rely on the stick too much on generating pace, and not having a completed swing and stroke.

Anyway, my wife is also about 160cm with a shinner body, but she can generate quite a lot of pace from a tour racquet (Radical Tour MP - 354g / 12.5oz). Even some of the male players do not have the power as her. So, try it out, power and pace is very much depends on body-rotation and hitting form. Hire a coach, and learn from in a proper way.

Hope this help.
