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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 198 g (unstrung)\nBalance: 28.5 cm\n\nLength: 58.5\nHead size: 625 sq cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eComposition\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminium frame for a durable and affordable racket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TR130 JR was redesigned with six concepts, developed in conjunction with trainers and kids, to help your child get better from their very first swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur designers developed this racket for young, beginning tennis players who are between 116 and 125 cm in height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTENGO","offers":[{"title":"green \/ Unique size \/ 8540260","offer_id":55399118930305,"sku":"2838805","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/7883\/2893\/files\/pic_6ea7b9ea-0f96-4f8c-b398-2fc26d1749f8.jpg?v=1773024653","url":"https:\/\/decathlon.com.cy\/products\/kids-23-tennis-racket-easy","provider":"Decathlon Cyprus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
