Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Babolat Pure Strike Junior 26 is a factory-strung junior tennis racket for young players ready to take their game to the next level. Inspired by the adult Pure Strike Gen4 range, it offers a strong mix of control, stability and manoeuvrability for juniors who play competitively.
Key Features
- Scaled-down Strike performance – a junior version of Babolat’s control-oriented racquet line.
- Full graphite construction – serious performance and long-term durability.
- Lightweight (250g) – easy to swing and manoeuvre for growing players.
- 16x19 string pattern – good for spin and dynamic shot-making.
- Factory strung – ready to play, with Xcel recommended for restringing.
Performance Overview
The Pure Strike Junior 26 is built for juniors who enjoy taking charge of the rally with confident, controlled shots. A 100 in² graphite frame with a 3 pts head-light balance stays stable at contact yet light enough to handle easily through long sessions.
Who Is It For?
Junior competitive players aged approximately 10–12 years (140–150 cm tall) who are beginning to play competitively and want reliable performance.
