Size guide

Store Availability

This racket was designed for players looking for a good balance of power and forgiveness.

BENEFITS

Forgiveness

Its large head size greatly reduces centring errors.

Handling

The head-heavy design allows for a wider swing.

Vibration dampening

High modulus graphite offers excellent vibration dampening.

Power

Its 690 cm² oversize head helps you make powerful shots.

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

High modulus graphite

High modulus graphite efficiently dampens vibrations in the racquet when hitting the ball. It confers a much more comfortable feel and dampens vibrations.

Weight

At just 275 g, this racquet is easy to swing.

For your information:
- Less than 260 g: lightweight racquets, for comfort and easy handling.
- 260 to 295 g: classic racquets (intermediate) for versatility.
- 300 to 315 g: racquets for players who already have good technique and need more powerful strokes and precision.
- 315 g: racquets for top-level competitors.

Balance

The TR500 is head heavy (34.5 cm balance point) to generate powerful strokes.

RA

The stiffness rating of 70 improves the racquet's power considerably
Stiff frame: > 64 – 66 RA.
Soft frame: < 64 – 66 RA.
The stiffer the frame, the shorter the contact time: you lose some control but gain in power.

Head size

The size of the TR500's head (690 cm²) provides more power and forgiveness.
The larger the head size, the greater the ball strike surface area. The ball can be hit off-centre with good results, although the trade-off is a little less accuracy. Your racket is thus more forgiving

For further information:
- Midsize – small head size: < 625 cm²
- Mid plus – standard head size: 626 - 677 cm²
- Oversize – large head size: 678 - 742 cm²
- Super oversize – very large head size: Over 742 cm²

Inertia

An inertia of 280 prevents the frame from deforming when struck at high speed, delivering power and precision.

What does the inertia rating mean? The higher the inertia, the harder the racquet is to manoeuvre, but the greater the power.

A very good tennis racquet!

Ted (United States)

The TR500 is oversize at 107 sq. inches and slightly head heavy. The factory polyester string job was very playable. The racquet had a bit of the nice sound a wood racquet used to make. There was very little vibration and it was very stable with good power. It excelled on flat shots and flat serves. The grip was of a quality material and the shape was wider at the sides (which I prefer). It is stiff but it never felt like a board. The sweetspot is powerful so add some spin or the ball will fly. I never had to work hard to generate decent power especially on flat shots. Though the string pattern is open, spin generation was not very good; hitting backhand slice was a weak point. Overall, a quality frame. The package was shipped in too large a box that ripped open during transit. Decathlon sent me a $10 coupon to use in 2 days but it seems this model is now sold out.

I have used this racket for around 4 weeks and I feel like strings strength is not good and every time you need to adjust the string.
That's why I am not recommending this racket to others.

If you are a very beginner player the you may go for it.

Response of the brand

Good morning
Thank you for all these details.
Yes for sure, this racket is made for users who do not play very often.
We have our 900 series and especially 930 spin lite that bring a better
answer in terms of benefits.
However, the problem also may come the string or the tension.
We propose service stringing in 20 stores.
Can you tell me in which city you are located and I will indicate you
if we have one store not far from there and I will make sure they change
the string for free.
Best regards.

Benoit
