Tennis Warehouse will demo you up to 4 rackets at a time. If you’re in CA they will arrive the next day. You keep them for a week and then send them back in the same box… they provide a return shipping label and everything. It costs the same amount to ship one racket as it does for 4… so you might as well get all 4. Its about $10 and totally worth it!

Thanks for the info….first I would recommend that you stick with a stick that does not cause you tennis elbow or aggravate it regardless of how well you hit with it. I used to play with a Head Titanium racket until I developed tennis elbow. It took me over a year to finally get rid of it!! Talk about agony and frustration. Now I play with a Head Metallix and my elbow is fine. However, I am frustrated because my hitting proficiency has suffered greatly. I will check on other rackets to see if I can correct this problem.

This info is so true but it is still confusing. There are club level rackets – that add power and do a lot of the work, and player (Pro) level rackets where you add the power and if you have perfect form and body movement (Sampras)you will be rewarded with far greater accuracy than any big headed club racket can offer – the Pro Staff is such a racket – so is Rodger Federers K 6 One. I have never found a racket with as precise ball control as these two. Your trying to use a Pro Staff as a starter racket must have been tough. It was my fourth racket and by that time I was able to hit my serve so hard I would literally knock balls through the chain link fence on the other side of the court – to me and my opponents it had tons of power. I was told that was because it was one of the most flexible rackets made. 12 years later I now use a Wilson N Code Pro Open and it is a really great all around frame with a 100 inch head, but either I am weaker or it doesnt have the same pop as the Pro Staff because I still have a big serve and can stick balls in the fence, but I have never knocked balls through the fence since then.

How about specs for players that suffer from tennis elbow?
