Buying Guide
A junior racket is not just a cheaper adult racket: it weighs less, has a shorter grip, and a lower balance, so that the child can hit the ball without straining their wrist or elbow. This is the difference between learning the correct technique or developing bad habits that are difficult to correct later.
• Weight: between 200 and 340 g depending on age and build, much less than an adult racket.
• Round shape: large and centered sweet spot, easier to hit while learning.
• Low balance: reduces arm strain and helps control the racket.
• From 12-13 years old, many children can already switch to a lightweight adult racket — consult us before making the jump.
Frequently asked questions
From what age is a junior racket recommended?
Usually from 5 to 12 years old, although it depends more on the child's height and strength than on their exact age.
Can they play with an adult racket?
It is not recommended while they are young: the extra weight strains the wrist and elbow, and makes it difficult to learn proper technique.
When should they switch to an adult racket?
When they handle the junior racket with ease and have enough strength - around 12-13 years old in many cases. Write to us and we will guide you.
