Youth Tennis Rackets

The Wilson US Open Jr. is an excellent option for any young junior player looking to get into the sport, featuring four different sizes depending on age, size, and skill level. Backed by the heritage and support of the USTA, these rackets are used at many junior events. The lightweight frame offers a high level of playability.

The head size of a racket refers to the total surface area of the string bed, measured in square inches or centimeters. A larger head size provides the player with more power and forgiveness, while a smaller head size offers more precision and control with every shot.

The weight of a racket is an important factor to consider. A heavier racket brings more power and stability through the swing, and it also absorbs more shock than lighter rackets, giving players a better feel for the ball. This is ideal for players with long, fast strokes who prefer hitting flatter balls with pace and depth. On the other hand, a lighter racket enhances maneuverability and provides easier access to spin, making it optimal for handling volleys around the net, spinning lobs into play, and generating better angles that dip inside the lines.

The balance of a racket is measured in points and indicates the distribution of weight within the racket. This can be categorized in three ways: head light (HL), even balance (EB), or head heavy (HH). Head-light rackets have more mass in the handle, head-heavy rackets have more mass in the hoop, and evenly balanced rackets have an even mass distribution throughout.

The Wilson US Open 23 Junior/Youth Recreational Tennis Racket is a lightweight option that provides power for easy swinging. The vibrant, colorful frames stand out on the court, and the AirLite Alloy construction creates a lightweight frame with power and durability. This racket is approved for 10-and-under tennis and comes pre-strung.
