How old is your son? It's by far best to go to a demo day if possible. Last time I went to one I had a shortlist of many tour rackets the pro's use, and I got on with seriously about 10%.
Demo days are best but even then they might not have the right grip size or string tension.
1. Size of the racquet head:
A smaller racquet head is much harder to play for rookies because the optimal contact point is much smaller and you need to play much more accurately to hit the ball appropriately. A bigger racquet head is easier to play because it also tolerates a not so perfect hitting technique (which is important if you have a bad day...)and in addition Topspin's and Slices are much easier to play. There are also racquets with oversized heads (jumbo size) which emphasizes the positive aspects of bigger racquet heads.
