This HEAD junior racquet is perfectly sized for young tennis enthusiasts aged 6 to 8 years old, specifically those with a height between 114 cm and 126 cm. It's designed to make learning tennis fun and comfortable for beginners.

Why this HEAD Tennis Racquet: Junior 23 Inch is helpful:

  • Easy to Learn: Its lightweight aluminium o-beam construction makes it simple for kids to swing and control, helping them develop their strokes with confidence.
  • Comfortable Play: The DAMPPlus insert significantly reduces impact vibrations, ensuring a comfortable grip and minimising arm fatigue during extended play sessions. This is especially helpful for small hands and developing muscles.
  • Ideal Starter Racquet: With a head size of 630 cm ² (98 in ²) and a length of 585 mm:(23 in), it offers a generous sweet spot, making it easier for kids to make contact with the ball and experience success early on.
  • Durable Design: Built to withstand the rigours of enthusiastic junior play, this racquet is a reliable companion for your child's first serves and volleys.
  • Great Balance: With balance of 280 mm (0.5 in HL) this racquet is easy to move around with greater control.

Things to consider when purchasing the HEAD Tennis Racquet Junior 23 Inch:

  • Age & Height Match: While the racquet is suitable for ages 6-8, always double-check your child's height against the recommended 114-126 cm to ensure the best fit and prevent strain. A racquet that's too long or too short can hinder proper technique development.
  • Weight: At an unstrung weight of 215g (7.6 oz), it's very light, which is excellent for junior players. However, as your child grows and develops strength, they may eventually need a slightly heavier racquet to generate more power.
  • String Pattern: The 16/18 string pattern offers a good balance of power and control for a beginner. As your child progresses, they might explore racquets with different string patterns to suit their evolving playing style.
  • Racquet Care: To prolong the life of the racquet, encourage your child to keep it in a racquet bag when not in use and avoid hitting it against hard surfaces. Regularly check the strings for any signs of wear and tear.
