Beginner looking for a racket to improve alongside.
I started playing around 2 months ago and due to the club I play at having no rentals I purchased a Kuikma comfort soft (it was the second cheapest racket in decathlon). I have definitely caught the bug and would like to invest in something that I can use longer term as I improve.
I’ve been playing at least 3 times a week in a mixture of americanos and more recently in a consistent group where I usually play on the left. I’m also looking into some coaching in the next week or so to help speed up my progress as I am committed to improving.
I’m completely open to all suggestions. Was looking to spend under £200 although could go a little higher if it would make that much difference. The rackets I’ve seen that have caught my eye are:
Babolat air veron/counter veron
Bullpadel hack comfort
Adidas metalbone carbon control
Nox AT10 18k (durability concerns)
Would any of these be suitable? Is the quality of the Nox rackets questionable?
Thanks in advance!
