2025 Tennis Racquet Market Share · Performance-Segment Focus

This overview reflects the estimated relative share and influence of major tennis racquet brands across three key segments: pro-tier usage, high-end recreational players, and the broader global racquet market. Values are based on public industry reports, pro-tour usage data, and specialty-shop patterns as of 2025 and are intended as a directional guide, not official manufacturer figures.

Pro-Tier Influence

ATP/WTA & high-performance usage

Brand Est. Share
HEAD ~25%
Babolat ~20%
Wilson ~20–25%
Yonex ~12–15%
Tecnifibre ~6–10%
Dunlop ~3–5%
Prince & Others ~2–4%

Pro-tour usage is a strong proxy for performance influence, not total unit sales.

High-End Recreational Market

Specialty-shop performance players

Brand Est. Share
Wilson ~28–32%
HEAD ~25–30%
Babolat ~22–26%
Yonex ~10–14%
Tecnifibre ~6–10%
Dunlop ~4–6%
Prince / ProKennex / Niche ~3–5%

In performance-oriented shops, Yonex and Tecnifibre often over-index as players seek feel, arm-friendliness, and customization potential.

Global Racquet Market

All segments combined

Brand Approx. Global Share
Wilson ~30–33%
HEAD ~28–30%
Babolat ~20–22%
Yonex ~10–12%
Tecnifibre ~5–7%
Dunlop ~4–5%
Others ~2–5%

The “Big Three” — Wilson, HEAD, Babolat — represent roughly 75–80% of total market value, with Yonex and Tecnifibre showing the most growth in the
performance segment.

Head Gravity Tour 98 Retail Version

We reviewed the “Pre-Release” model a few weeks ago, so here is the retail version review!

Much of the data is the same, so if you have hit the Pre-Release version, you should not expect significant changes—except for one big one: the graphics! Some hitters have proclaimed this the “best-looking racquet of all time!” 

Head Gravity Tour 98 2025 Retail

Of course, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” so we will leave that up to you. Recreating the look realistically with a picture is impossible, so you need to see it in person!

The new Gravity series will ship on January 25, 2025.  You can pre-order now!

Besides looking great, this racquet offers some welcome performance features:

  • Flex
  • Swing Weight
  • Head Size
  • String Pattern
  • Grommet System

The following table lists most of the features. One essential feature is the grommet system, a “cap” system that helps protect the string from court damage caused by “ball to foot” pickup! If you can’t stop doing that, you need this protection!
