The Best Bet
If getting Mom to the French Open
is impractical, a new tennis racquet makes for an excellent Mother’s Day gift. Wilson’s W4 model is designed for female club players who
are competitive but not (yet) tournament-level. It’s light
(just nine ounces unstrung) yet solid, with an oval design that creates a larger sweet spot
and adds power. Not only will
Mom’s game improve, but she’ll also know that you’re not just letting her win ($199, in lime, sapphire, cobalt blue, or red,
at Mason’s Tennis Mart,
56 E. 53rd St., nr. Park Ave.; 212-755-5805).
