There isn't really one.
Pro Direct Tennis is alright, but the best is still Tennis Warehouse, even if there's shipping costs.

Andrew spent about an hour in there holding every racket possible
They have an amazing choice, very pricey but I wouldn't buy a racket without holding it first

Hmm, going by the hand printout, my grip size is 4 3/8 so I might go one down to 4 1/4.
OMG, just found out I've been playing with 4 1/2, no wonder I've been so sh*t!

Sorry, I typed it out wrong.
I have been playing with a 4
1/2
for several years but I am actually a 4
3/8
and therefore I have just bought a racquet with a 4
1/4
(same as Nadal's!) grip size

Got my new racquet today and the grip size is so much better, just from holding it I feel I'll a completely different tennis player. I could probably even go one size down from a 4 1/4 considering I use overgrips. Finally my losing streak to Tom will come to an end.

I found out I use a 4 1/4 grip size. Apparently should be using 4 1/2 though
Never mind.
