Question: Where should I shop for a tennis racquet?
Answer: Most local pro shops offer the best advice and stringing, and many have very competitive prices on racquets for intermediate and better players. An online or mail-order retailer will often have the best price, but you'll need to know exactly what you want, and the quality of stringing varies by retailer. If you just need a beginner racquet and want to spend as little as possible, the big discount chains usually have some decent choices and some junk, so it's probably wise to bring a knowledgeable friend.
