Start with height
Match current height to racket length and use age only as a secondary guide.
- A racket that is too long is harder to accelerate.
- A racket that is too short may limit reach.
- Between two sizes, consider strength and coordination.
Use height as the main reference. These ranges are approximate: strength, coordination and experience may also influence the choice when the player falls between two sizes.
Height is an approximate reference. When the player falls between two sizes, strength, coordination and training frequency should also be considered.
Junior rackets are classified by their length in inches. Choosing this measurement correctly is essential so a child can prepare, accelerate and control the racket without excessive effort. The guide below links each length to a suggested height range and gives direct access to every size category.
Match current height to racket length and use age only as a secondary guide.
Rackets of the same length can have very different playing characteristics.
The handle should feel comfortable and the racket should match development.
Tell us the player’s height, approximate age and experience. We will help compare alternatives without choosing a racket that is too long or heavy.
The right size is not the racket that will last for the greatest number of years; it is the one that lets the child play well now. A proportionate choice supports control, confidence and more natural technique.
