Head Extreme Jr 26 2026 Racquet

The Extreme Jr 26 2026 is aimed at young players aged 10 to 12 who already have some basics and are looking for a racquet that can keep up with their progress towards a more complete game, with a generous head size that still makes it easy to find the ball.

Who is this racquet for?

The 26-inch size corresponds to children aged around 10 to 12. It's the largest size in the Head junior range, designed as a transition before moving up to an adult racquet. It suits children starting later as well as those already playing at a club who want more comfort on court.

The technology explained

Like the rest of the Extreme Junior range, this racquet is built in aluminium, a light material that keeps overall weight down without sacrificing frame strength. The head size, larger than the smaller sizes in the range, enlarges the sweet spot and helps the child make contact with the ball more easily and consistently.

The Extreme Tennis team's opinion

At this age, ease of play matters more than pure performance. The Extreme Jr 26 lets the child keep progressing without a sudden change in feel compared to the smaller sizes in the range, which smooths the transition towards an adult-size racquet in the years that follow.
