But the good part is under the paint: a teaching grip with visual and tactile markers that shows small hands exactly where to hold, and stroke guides printed right on the frame. Ultra-light aluminum keeps it swingable for arms that are still growing, and an oversized head with an open string pattern means the ball goes over the net on day one — which is the only thing that keeps a six-year-old coming back next week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunior frames aren't shrunken adult racquets.

If they fall between two sizes, size down: a racquet that's too long forces a shortened, cramped swing and slows technique development, while a slightly short frame just means a bit less reach. A good on-court check — standing with the racquet held at their side, the head should hover just above the ground without them tilting or reaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst-time players through developing juniors, roughly ages 4 to 11.

Juniors 11+ or taller than 145 cm should move to the Carlitos Junior 26″ or a lightweight adult frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Babolat","offers":[{"title":"26","offer_id":50961448960285,"sku":"140552-100","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25","offer_id":50961448927517,"sku":"140551-100","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"23","offer_id":50961448894749,"sku":"140550-100","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"21","offer_id":50961448861981,"sku":"140549-100","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19","offer_id":50961448829213,"sku":"140548-100","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/7460\/5853\/files\/140552-CARLITOS_JUNIOR_26-100-1-Face.avif?v=1787768013","url":"https:\/\/www.justtennis.com\/products\/carlitos-jr-2024","provider":"Just Tennis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
