Tennis racquets built for heavy spin

Modern tennis is a topspin game. The frames in this collection are the ones we recommend when a player walks in and says they want more shape, more dip, and more bite on the ball. They share the same building blocks: aerodynamic beams that swing fast, open string patterns that grip and release the ball cleanly, and constructions that reward fast, vertical racquet head speed. Whether you favour the Babolat Pure Aero, Dunlop SX, or Wilson Burn family, you'll find a frame here that adds revolutions to every shot.

How to choose

For tour-level spin, the Babolat Pure Aero and Dunlop SX are the obvious starting points. Lighter, easier-to-swing options include the Pure Aero Lite, SX300 Lite, and Wilson Burn 100ULS. If spin matters but you also need control, look at the control range for a frame that suits your game.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a racquet good for spin?
Three factors: an open string pattern (typically 16x19 or 16x20), an aerodynamic frame that swings fast, and a head shape that lets the ball brush up the strings cleanly.

What strings should I use for maximum spin?
Polyester (poly) strings — sometimes called co-polys — bite and snap back on the ball best. Browse our Babolat strings or Wilson strings.

Are spin racquets harder on the arm?
Some are stiffer (the Pure Aero is a notable example), but newer spin frames like the SX300 use softer constructions. Check our arm-friendly tennis racquets if comfort is a priority.

What's the best spin racquet for an intermediate player?
The Pure Aero Team or Lite, the SX300, and the Wilson Burn 100S are all proven intermediate-friendly spin frames.

Can I get a spin racquet pre-strung?
Yes — most lighter spin frames arrive pre-strung; tour models are often unstrung but can be strung on request.
