When selecting a tennis racquet, whether for your child or yourself, it’s crucial to ensure that the racquet size is appropriate. A well-fitted racquet enhances performance, prevents injury, and allows players to enjoy the sport to the fullest.
Children’s racquets are categorised by length rather than head size. The length corresponds to specific age groups. Consider your child’s height when choosing a racquet, as children who are taller or shorter than average for their age may require a different size. Here’s a breakdown based on age and height:
Age | Up to 5 years | 5-6 years | 7-8 years | 9-10 years | 11 + years |
Height | Up to 100 cm | 101 - 113 cm | 114 - 126 cm | 127 - 141 cm | 142 - 158 cm |
Racquet Length | 17-19" | 21" | 23" | 25" | 26" |
Remember that a racquet that is too large and heavy can strain the wrist and elbow due to the increased force required to swing. Conversely, a racquet that is too small may hinder skill development.
For adult players, we offer a range of professional tennis racquets from top brands like Babolat, Head, and Wilson. These racquets are designed for optimal performance and are available at competitive prices.
Whether you’re introducing your child to tennis or fine-tuning your own game, finding the right racquet size is a crucial step toward enjoying the sport. Explore our selection and make your tennis experience even more rewarding!
