So what does the size mean? 4 1/2 3/8 1/4

Would this be good for adult that doesn't play much and needs a racket?

DO NOT BUY!!!

This racket is an absolute garbage and will break in no time. I been playing tennis since high school(played first seed), and practically everyone in my family been in this game.

This racket is build out of titanium, meaning couple of hard shots or a few bangs on the ground and the frame will break.

Anyone serious enough to play the game should only buy carbon made material, its durable and will last longer. Plus when you play with titanium rackets, when you hit the ball back over the net you will absorb some of the shock, considering you have a good partner.

So pay a few extra bucks and buy the O3 series from head and you will thank yourself.

P.S. please know what weight of racket you want before you buy it or you will end up having wrist pain all the time.

Do you have first hand knowledge of this? The description list Graphite Composite Construction, which is carbon. I'm not sure about your titanium statement either as titanium is a strong alloy metal. I guess it all depends on how these products are used in the construction.

It is most definitely not made out of titanium (which as a very strong metal, by the way). All that titanium plasma stuff is marketing nonsense. The racquet is still a piece of crap, however. Also most people would not benefit from an extra-long racquet.

You don't know anything about tennis or tennis racquets.
First the racquet won't break. I agree that this racquet is crap but not for the reasons you mentioned. A little knowledge is dangerous in your case.

P.S. O3 is Prince series not Head's.

Good grief calm down Andre Aggassi.

It may well be crap but at $20 My daughter can try it see if she likes the sport. if she plays with it enough to break it... I know she is into it and ready for your "few bucks more" model. But if she doesn't like it i will still have my "few bucks more" in the bank waiting for the next hobby/sport/dance/etc she wants to try.
