Our review
The world's most popular starter racket for a reason. Buy it for a new player, or if you're just looking to play casually without any investment. Plan to upgrade to a proper intermediate frame within a year.
Editorial note
The Ti S6 has been getting beginners on court for decades. It's not glamorous, but it does exactly what a starter racket should — it lets you focus on the game rather than fighting with equipment.
