What Tennis Equipment Do I Need?
Age-Appropriate
Tennis Equipment
Whether you are new to tennis or aiming to enhance your current skills, choosing the right tennis equipment is crucial for your enjoyment and development. Tailored specifically for adult tennis players, our tennis camps, classes, lessons, and clinics, partnered with the USTA's recommendations, use standard-sized Yellow Balls on a standard size court to ensure all adult participants can learn with the best equipment. Tennis racket sizing is dependant on what you feel most comfortable with (we recommend 27”–29”).
Curious about why this tennis equipment stands out?
Tennis: Balls for Adults
Yellow tennis balls are the standard used in professional and competitive tennis, making them perfect for adult players looking to hone their skills. These full-compression tennis balls offer a faster and higher bounce, challenging adult tennis players to refine their technique, athleticism, and game strategy. For adult participants in tennis camps, classes, lessons, or clinics, yellow balls provide the opportunity to master key tennis fundamentals, from stroke production to advanced match play tactics. Their use enhances coordination, timing, and precision, creating a more dynamic and enjoyable tennis experience.
Tennis Rackets for Adults
Adult tennis players typically use full-sized tennis rackets, ranging from 27 to 29 inches in length, depending on personal preference and playing style. These tennis rackets provide a balance of power, control, and maneuverability, with a heavier frame to help generate more force behind each shot. Whether you're in a weekly tennis class or a more advanced training session, these tennis rackets enable greater precision and consistency. Designed to meet the needs of adult tennis players, these rackets boost performance and make it easier to transition from practice drills to competitive match play.
Court Sizes for Adults
For adults, tennis is played on standard full-size courts measuring 78 feet long and 27 feet wide for singles or 36 feet wide for doubles matches. With the net standing 3 feet tall at the center and 3 feet 6 inches at the posts, the court provides the optimal space for practicing advanced tennis techniques. This traditional court layout challenges players to improve their movement, court positioning, and overall match-play skills. Whether in a camp, class, lesson, or clinic, the full-size court allows adult players to fully engage in the game and push their tennis abilities to the next level.
