Babolat Tennis Racket Junior

Welcome to Tennis Racket Junior, another MicSan blog.

I'm not selling you anything on this post, just wanting to share an article I found while I was surfing about junior tennis rackets that was well written and made sense. The only point of view that I see differently (as a parent) is that it just doesn't make cents (sense) :) to spend lots of money on a good tennis racquet until you know your child isn't going to quit the sport after a few weeks. As a mother of three sons, I've spent way too much money on sports and band equipment to not have learnt this lesson the hard way!

Common sense is the key here. If your child is still enthusiastic and willing to put the hours in to learn the sport well after a month or so (2 to 3 weeks is usually the quitting spot), then that would be a GREAT TIME to invest in some equipment that would suit them to a T and give them the best advantage to excel. But before then, a hand me down junior tennis racket that is borrowed, handed down, or purchased elsewhere at a reduced price, just makes good sense.

Whether your junior tennis star is just starting tennis lessons or plays competition matches the right tennis racquet, specifically designed for junior players, will give them the right start.

There is nothing worse than trying to learn a new sport with sub-standard equipment. Hand-me-down tennis racquets or poor quality tennis racquets makes learning or playing tennis for children way too hard. Children need to be able to achieve things quickly or they will not only lose confidence but they will lose interest in what they are learning.

When I was learning tennis at around 11 years of age I was given my big brother's tennis racquet to use that was too heavy, too long and the grip was too thick for my hand size. How I ever swung this big clunker of a racquet, much less hit the tennis ball, remains a mystery to me.

A tennis court is approximately 78 feet (23.77m) long and 27 feet (8.23m) wide for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97m) wide for doubles matches. Standing on the tennis court for the first time can be quite daunting for a child. It's a long way to hit that ball over the net!

Children need a tennis racquet that is easy to hold and swing. The Babolat junior tennis racquets are specially designed for children of all ages, heights and tennis standards.

The Nadal series of junior tennis racquets can accommodate children from 2 to over 10 years of age and are a junior size replica of Rafael Nadal's AeroPro Drive racquet.

This junior sized version of Andy Roddick's racquet, the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick Junior and the Babolat Pure Drive Junior are some of the most popular tennis racquets for junior competitors. They feature all the technology and performance of the adult Pure Drive racquets but in a lighter, more manoeuvrable racquet, adapted to young competition players.

All the Babolat junior tennis racquets are very affordable and will have your budding tennis star hitting winners in no time.

Tennis is a great sport for children to learn. It helps their hand, eye co-ordination skills, teaches sportsmanship, improves fitness levels and builds self-confidence.

Don't settle for second-best - have your children experience the fun and satisfaction of using a Babolat junior tennis racquet. View the entire range today
