How Big Is A Normal Tennis Racket?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    While the rules of tennis allow rackets to measure up to 32 inches in length, most tennis rackets measure from 27 to 28 inches.

    Typically, tennis racket heads range in size from 85 to 135 square inches. In general, tennis rackets with larger heads provide more power while tennis rackets with smaller heads provide more control.

    Tennis racket grips typically range from 4 inches to 4 7/8 inches in circumference.

    So to answer a vague question, tennis rackets vary in all kinds of sizes depending on what you are looking for.

      According to the United States Tennis Association (USTA)
      rule book for 2009 (refer to the link, below),
      which follows the International Tennis Federation (ITF) guidelines,
      a tennis racquet's dimensions are as follows:

      "The frame of the racket shall not exceed 73.7 cm(29.0 inches) in overall length,
      including the handle. The frame of the racket shall not exceed 31.7 cm (12.5
      inches) in overall width. The hitting surface shall not exceed 39.4 cm (15.5
