Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Babolat Ballfighter 21 is a junior tennis racket built around one idea: make the first few months of tennis easier. A light aluminium frame, a grip that shows a child where to put their hands and a forgiving head size mean less frustration and more balls coming back over the net. Sized for players roughly 110-125cm tall.
Key Features
- Teaching grip — an instructive grip that answers the beginner's first question: how do I hold it?
- Visual grip guidance — a mini ball and racket illustration on the frame as a constant reminder.
- Lightweight aluminium frame — 180g unstrung, easy for a child to swing properly.
- Forgiving 92 sq in head — a generous strike zone for off-centre contact.
- Junior grip sizing — sculpted for smaller hands.
- Bright colourway — blue and orange styling that children actually want to pick up.
Performance Overview
At 21 inches the Ballfighter is short enough that a child can take a full swing without the racket head dragging, and light enough that technique does not collapse under the weight. The aluminium construction keeps cost and mass down while staying durable enough to survive being dropped, leant on and thrown in a bag. The 256mm balance keeps the head from feeling heavy in the hand.
Benefits
A child who can hold the racket correctly and get the ball over the net keeps playing. The teaching grip and frame illustration remove the guesswork parents and coaches otherwise have to correct every session, and the light frame means a full lesson does not end in a tired arm and bad habits.

Final Verdict
