Well in that case definately don't fall into the trap of getting an over-sized head which a lot of sales reps will recommend. They are good if you are new to the sport, but long-term they sometimes do more harm than good as it doesn't help develop the fundamentals of racket control and how to find the sweet spot on a normal sized racket. You basically become a masher, which isn't what you want.

Its been ages since I was in the market for a racket so I don't have specific model suggestions but you maybe able to even find some place that will let you try out some models. Perhaps that indoor tennis facility. I can't recall.
