    Imagine someone small and weak like Nozomi Okuhara but a total beginner. What would be the correct racket characteristic for her training at least until she can play something resembling a serious doubles game.

    Very head heavy <----------> Very head light
    Ultra Stiff <------------> Ultra Flex
    2U <--------------> 7U
    35 lbs Tension <-----------------> 18 lbs tension

    For training, I recommend apacs rackets, virtuoso is very beginner friendly and easy to use.

    Anything 4U or 3U and medium flex with 22-24lbs tension is good enough during the early stages.
