Here are some steps you can follow when buying a beach tennis racket:
1) Consider your skill level and playing style: Beginner and intermediate players may prefer fiberglass rackets, while advanced players may opt for carbon or Kevlar.
2) Determine your preferred weight and length: Heavier rackets provide more power, while lighter ones offer more maneuverability.
3) Think about the shape and balance: Some rackets are head-heavy for more power, while others are head-light for more control.
4) Set your budget: Prices can range from affordable fiberglass options to more expensive carbon or Kevlar rackets.
5) Try before you buy: If possible, test out different rackets at a store or club before making a purchase.
6) Consider customization: Some brands offer custom options to tailor the racket to your specific needs and preferences.
With it growing popularity as a beach sport, beach tennis has developed its own unique slang and terminology to describe the game and the lifestyle around it. Players often use the term "dink" to refer to a soft shot that barely clears the net, typically with little power, designed to catch the opponent off guard. A "smash" is the powerful overhead shot that comes down with force, usually to win a point. When a player performs a "killer", it means they've executed a shot that’s so well-placed or fast that the opponent has little chance of returning it. In terms of court movement, players might refer to being "in the zone," which is a state of high focus and performance where everything seems to click. A "lob" is a high shot aimed to clear the opponent's head, often a strategic play to move them out of position. A more relaxed term like "sunset set" refers to playing during the golden hour, when the sun is setting, adding a bit of fun and flair to the experience. Beach tennis is all about fun, competitive spirit, and the connection to the beach, and these slangs help to shape the playful, energetic culture of the sport. Come to the beach soon.
