ROGER'S GOOD VIBRATIONS 4 Wilson's Federer Open 105 is currently half price at £49.99 at sportsdirect.com RACQUET : There's no such thing as the perfect racquet – it's all about the best one for you. And being an average but perhaps overly keen player, Wilson's Federer Open 105 is a good compromise for me. Aimed at male and female beginners and intermediate players, it has a super-size head (105 square inches, as the name indicates) which means more balls going where you intended them to. The Stable Shaft and O Beam technology limits the vibrations going through your hand, wrist and elbow – I loved the fact I felt less sore after using it. A perfect entry-level ball-basher for anyone who wants to up their game – but I doubt I'll reach the heights of Roger Federer, who it's named after. It's currently half price at £49.99 at sportsdirect.com . IT'S GAME, SET AND WATCH 4 The OPPO Band2 fitness tracker costs £59.99 from amazon.co.uk TECH TRACKER : The OPPO Band2 was always a great cut-price fitness tracker , but it's now got a nifty professional tennis mode – which is perfect for anyone who is wanting to hone their swing without forking out for coaching. The lightweight watch can recognise what strokes you're playing, your swing shape, and how long you've played for – as well as the usual tracking the of your heart rate and numbers of calories burned.
