26 Inch Rackets - 10-12 years

Junior tennis rackets for children aged 10 to 12, at 26 inches. Junior frames are sized by length rather than age, and length is the number that matters. Too long and they cannot swing it; too short and it is outgrown within a season. Most children move up to a 27 inch frame once they can swing through the ball without the head dropping.

A bigger head is more forgiving on off-centre hits; a heavier frame is more stable against pace but slower to swing. Both figures are on every listing. Worth a look: junior tennis balls and tubes and junior tennis racket bags.
