This is a beginner to intermediate level racquet. It provides access to spin with the 16x19 string pattern, and it's head light, meaning you can swing faster.

Groundstokes galore! Lightweight and a great price.
Babolat Boost Drive Racquet · Strung
This is a light racquet with the benefit of a bigger head, which allows you a little more wiggle room as you're picking up the game. The bigger head also provides a bit more pop off the strings, which is a nice addition while the lower weight gives you that ability to really swing through.

This racquet is in the Pure line of Babolat but offers lots more control and consistency compared to the Pure Drive and Pure Aero. With a weight of 305g unstrung, it's a very stable racquet with great feel and will allow you to swing through and still have lots of control. It is similar to the Wilson Blade and Wilson Pro staff. All in all, it's a really good racquet.

Yonex VCore Ace Racquet · Strung
This racquet comes pre-strung, so it's ready to get out on the court and it has an isometric (not strictly oval) head shape to give you a little bit of a bigger sweet spot. This will help you generate some power on your ground strokes while being whippy enough to get your spin going.
Babolat Evo Drive Racquet · Strung
This is a fantastic racquet for moving from the beginner stages of play into more intermediate play.

This racquet does have a softer tension, which still gives you a lot of power without losing all your control. It comes prestrung as well.

Great touch and feel for easy swinging mixed with power and control. 16 x 19 string pattern great for spin.
