Before buying the equipment check with your tennis school to see if they have any good quality second hand equipment. But only buy them if they are absolutely good quality especially the racquet. If the racquet is worn out then you will end up with more issue later Not worth it.

When buying a racquet, bear in mind that there are different types of racquets. The type of racquet you need to buy depends on how often you are playing and what level you are playing. There are basically three types of racquets one for occasional player, one for improving player and finally one for experienced player. The occasional player one is called the power racquet, the improving one is called the tweener racquet and the final one is called the control racquet. A good racquet will help you improve your game. A bad one or the wrong one will hinder your progress. Speak to your coach and he will be able to guide you towards the perfect racquet for your individual needs. Individual needs is important because you might pick the perfect racquet but it might not be the perfect one for your size, level etc..

Do your research, speak to the service person and then buy the right one. If you are just starting tennis then buy the basic one first and then wait till your coach tells you to change the racquet.
