For length, you can use a standard 27" frame. There's also some extended length ones, up to around 28" long. You could use those, too. The extended length is for added reach, not for taller people.



For headsize, most beginners get something between 100" and 115". I would suggest going with something between 100 and 107". And larger than that, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you actually want to learn how to play.



Grip size is the last thing to consider. Average here would be 4 3/8" or 4 1/2". But you'll want to be sure you have the right grip size.

Go here for an in-depth description of how to measure your grip size.



~ Those 1/8, 1/4, 3/8... measurements are for the grip size. Basically, it tells the circumference of the grip. By 1/8 they mean that it's 4 1/8". By 1/4, it's 4 1/4". And so on. Like I said, measuring grip size is easy. The link I posted above will help you get the right grip size. And if you measure yourself as being right between two sizes, get the smaller one.

Manufactured tennis racquet grip sizes range from less than 4" for juniors to 4 7/8" for the largest adult hands. This might not seem like much of a range, but the difference even 1/8" makes is surprising. Too large a grip can strain your hand, and prolonged use of too small a grip can injure your hand, wrist, and elbow.



The most commonly used method for finding your exact grip size is as follows: On your dominant hand, note that your palm has three main creases. Hold your hand flat, with the fingers alongside one another. Measure from the middle crease of your palm, up the line between your middle and ring fingers, to a point equal to the height of the tip of your ring finger. For most women, this measurement will fall between 4 1/8" and 4 3/8", for most men between 4 3/8" and 4 5/8". Juniors will usually measure less than 4".



Generally, if you're between eighths when you measure, you'll be better off going with the larger grip. A grip 1/16" too large will be comfortable, while a slightly small one might not. On the other hand (no pun intended), a slightly small grip can be fattened up easily with an overwrap, whereas a too-large grip would have to be shaved down at a pro shop. Overwraps can't fatten a grip effectively more than 1/8" though, because each layer of overwrap adds to the rounding off of the bevel edges on your handle.



Grip sizes between 4 1/8" and 4 5/8" are easy to find in adult racquets. Larger and smaller grips are made for some racquets, but not all. Players with unusually small or large hands often have their racquet handles custom-sized at a pro shop, which should cost between $5 and $15.

the main difference is the length - adult racket is 27" and up, while Jr. racket usually are 21", 23" or 25" long.

head size is anywhere from 89 sq. in. to as large as 135 sq. in.

adult grip sizes are available in 4", 4 1/8", 4 1/4", 4 3/8", 4 1/2" and 4 5/8"

the most common grip sizes are 4 3/8" and 4 1/2", some models may not offer the smallest and the largest grip sizes.

if you are averge sized get a 27 inch with a 4 3/8 circumference grip or a 4 1/2 grip. if you are tall get 27.5-28 inch racquet and get a larger size grip. i am a kid at 5 foot 5 inch with a 27 in racquet and a 4 3/8 grip. consider, which ever feels best in your hands

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.



You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

I think it's like when you put the end of the racket at your armpit, your arm should be about as long as the racket. (or a bit shorter).
