Kids' 26" Tennis Racket TR500 Graph - Blue

Weight: 245 g Balance: 30 cm Length: 66 cm Swingweight: 210 Head size: 660 cm² String pattern: 16x19

All-graphite frame, with a wide cross section for stability upon impact and excellent comfort in the hand.

To help kids set up and follow through when swinging, we placed a small target on the edge of the racket. At the top of the swing, the target should point towards the incoming ball. At the end of the swing, it should still be pointing towards the ball after it is hit. This forces your child to set up and follow through properly.

With its three coloured markings on the handle, the TR500 GRAPH helps kids place their hands in the right position for forehands, backhands and serves. Kids should be able to see: - the yellow marking when hitting a forehand - the white marking when serving - the grey marking when hitting a backhand This keeps the racket head in the right place when hitting the ball and ensures the ball is hit properly.

We put a white ball-shaped marking over the sweet spot of the strings. By trying to align the ball with this mark when they hit it, your child will focus on centring the ball on the racket and maintain the proper position. Their hits will be better and the game will be more enjoyable. When the ball is hit in the centre of the racket - called the sweet spot - the result is a stronger, more precise hit with less vibration.

When your child receives the ball, they should hold the racket so they can see the targets on the frame. Their legs should be slightly apart and knees bent in what is called a \"CHAMPION\'S STANCE\" to be in the right position to hit the ball.

Two sections on the handle to show kids where to place their hands: - Hold the racket with your dominant hand below the two dotted lines - The second hand, especially for backhands, should grip the handle above the two dotted lines This provides more power and stability when hitting.
