Finding the Right Babolat Tennis Racket for Your Child

Age and Height

The first criterion to consider when choosing your child's tennis racket is their height. The younger and smaller your child is, the more they will need a small and lightweight racket. Junior tennis racket sizes are expressed in inches. Babolat Junior rackets range from 17 inches to 26 inches. Here is a guide to the racket sizes to prioritize based on age that may help you:

• Height 80 to 100 cm – Age 3 to 4 years: 17-inch racket
• Height 101 to 110 cm – Age 4 to 5 years: 19-inch racket
• Height 111 to 120 cm – Age 5 to 6 years: 21-inch racket
• Height 121 to 130 cm – Age 6 to 8 years: 23-inch racket
• Height 131 to 140 cm – Age 7 to 9 years: 24-inch racket
• Height 141 to 150 cm – Age 8 to 10 years: 25-inch racket
• Height > 150 cm – Age 11 years and older: 26-inch racket

Level and Frequency of Play

If your child plays occasionally or is just starting in their tennis practice, their needs will not be the same as if they are training regularly for competitions. In children's tennis rackets, we generally distinguish between aluminum and graphene rackets, each suited to a level of play:

• For a junior beginner, it is preferable to use an aluminum racket:
• For an advanced junior or one playing in competition, a graphite racket will be more suitable.
