The Racquets we love🎾
Starting, the racquet matters more than your swing — the right weight and head size forgive the technique you don't have yet. These are the beginner-friendly ones that won't wreck your arm or your budget.
The weight and head size make it forgiving when your form isn't there yet, and the price is bearable for a first "real" racquet👍

Tennis shoes (don't play in runners)🎾
Tennis means stopping and cutting sideways, and running shoes will roll your ankle when you do it. These have the lateral support your feet actually need on court.
Amazing on courts and also love the color.

MIZUNO MXR SPORT-NIMBUS CLOUD/SILVER/SILVER
This shoes are multifunction. I use it for running or casual.
Nobody warns you how much the weather wrecks your game until the first set drenches you. This is what keeps me going when it's brutal out — sun, sweat, and all.
