If you’ve got a young tennis player on your hand, then you know it is time to invest in a few junior tennis racquets. Of course it wouldn’t sound correct for a child playing small League to use an adult sized bat, so children playing tennis too should not be using full sized racquets. Junior tennis racquets come in several variations and the key to selecting the correct one usually rests in its size.
Of course the phrase junior tennis racquets is really broad and therefore there is room for different classifications within this broad system. Depending on the age and size of your kid, you’ll need a different choice of racquet.
As your kid grows, you will need to upgrade the racquet several times along the way to ensure that they have the right racquet for their requirements. Therefore it’s best need to splash out on junior tennis racquets; you’ll only get 1 or 2 years of solid use out of them.
If your kid is less than 5 years of age and is already hitting the courts, or stands at less than four feet tall, you need an especially little junior tennis racquets with frames no longer than 21 inches.
In this same range, you need to look for junior tennis racquets that weigh approximately 7 oz without the strings and have a head size of 90 inches. These junior tennis racquets will be huge enough to permit your child to enjoy success with an expanded sweet spot, but will be tiny enough for them to simply wield and learn with.
Over the following few years, until your child reaches about eight years old or is taller than four and a half feet, you can size up to a racket with a 23 or 25 inch frame, with a bigger head size of about one hundred inches. Look for junior tennis racquets with an eight oz frame for this size.
These junior tennis racquets will accommodate your child’s additional size and strength while getting them accustomed to the adult sized racquets they can soon be ready to switch to.
Junior tennis racquets are all about size, because a child’s strength and size changes so rapidly, you need racquets that are designed particularly for them. Be ready to buy many different junior tennis racquets over the course of some years if your kid started particularly young, because she will swiftly grow beyond the racquet that was started with.
