What do you need for tennis?

In addition to the right motivation and a bit of ball sense, you also need the right equipment. The most important tennis equipment includes a tennis racket, the right tennis shoes, comfortable tennis clothing, and of course a tennis ball. At Plutosport.nl, you are at the right place to get your complete gear, all at the best price!

Tennis Clothing

Where tennis was traditionally played in a polo shirt, that is no longer a must today. As long as the tennis shirt you wear provides enough freedom of movement and ventilation, you are ready to hit the court. Whether you wear a shirt with short or long sleeves depends on the weather and whether you are playing indoors or outdoors. In cold weather, you can layer up with items like a training jacket for the tennis court or a tennis sweater over your tennis shirt. The tennis shorts or, for women, the tennis skirt have several important features, with the most crucial being enough space for the tennis balls. Other features include the material, often polyester because it is a comfortable and quick-drying material.

Tennis Shoes

Depending on the surface of the tennis court, you should choose the right tennis shoes. There are special tennis shoes for gravel, hardcourt, artificial grass, and omnicourt (a combination of multiple surfaces). It is advisable not to play tennis in your regular sports shoes as the smooth soles provide little grip, making you more prone to slipping. K-Swiss and Asics are the top tennis brands, and you can find a wide collection of tennis shoes for every surface with us.

Tennis Racket

No tennis without a tennis racket! Depending on your level and playing style, choose a suitable tennis racket. If you are just starting out, you will appreciate a racket that allows you to hit the ball over the net easily without too much spin, making a tennis racket with an oversized head (677 cm²) the most ideal. If you are more experienced, opt for a smaller racket with a smaller head. A smaller head requires more technique and timing to hit the ball correctly.

Tennis Accessories

We are almost ready to hit the court! The most useful tennis accessories that should not be missing are a water bottle and tennis balls, available in various types. Now that you have gathered most of your gear, you need to carry them easily. Choose a tennis bag that can fit both your tennis clothing and racket. If you are playing outdoors in the summer sun, wear a cap to protect against UV light and consider wearing a sweatband, especially as you sweat more in high temperatures. Enjoy your tennis!
