Most important qualities of junior tennis rackets:

  • It is very important that young tennis players learn to play tennis using the correct tennis racket.
  • A senior tennis racket is not suited for children because it is usually too long and heavy, which will result in the wrong type of strokes being learnt and possible injury as a result of this.
  • One of the most important qualities of a junior tennis racket is the correct length. The ideal junior tennis racket is in direct proportion with a childs height.
  • The correct length selection for a junior tennis racket is determined in the following way: Let the young tennis player stand up as straight as possible holding the junior tennis racket, with the racket head pointing down along the body in his or her outstretched hitting arm.
  • Then let him or her swing the junior tennis racket back and forth along his or her body. The junior tennis racket has the correct length for that player if it comes over the ankle, but does not touch the ground.
The table below illustrates the connection between body height and the age of a young tennis player.
It can be used as a guideline.
