The racquet is junior's most important piece of gear. A correctly fitting racquet helps junior learn the right techniques, offers power and minimizes the risk of injuries of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder.

"I'll let the racquet do the talking." - John McEnroe, professional tennis player and television analyst.

Basic guidance to help you and your junior pick the right one, at every age and stage of tennis development:

Junior Racquets: Need To Know Facts

As a general principle, select as long a racquet as junior can comfortably handle. Junior will develop smooth strokes with good weight transfer. Too small a racquet allows excessive wrist and elbow action, which can harm both technique and arm, in the long run. The racquet length (L) is measured from the end of the racquet butt (bottom of handle) to the tip of the head.

Grip Size: While length and weight determine swinging comfort, a racquet has to be comfortable to grip, too. The grip size is measured as the perimeter of the octagonal cross-section of the handle. Junior grips range between 3 to 4 inches. Measure from tip of ring finger (i.e., fourth from thumb) to the first long crease on the palm. This is junior's ideal grip size (T). For maximum gripping comfort, racquet grip size can range between T and T + 1/16". If the racquet grip size is slightly less, a thin overgrip can be taped on to increase the grip and make the hold more comfortable.

In sizing and selecting racquets for juniors, remember to keep pace with the kid's growth. And watch them perform at their very best, at every age and phase of tennis development.

A competitive player would need at least two racquets, in case the string breaks during the match.

Materials: A racquet frame is usually made from graphite and fiberglass, mixed with a plastic resin. Sometimes materials such as titanium and kevlar are added to increase stiffness and reduce weight.
