KEY FEATURES OF THE HEAD IG GRAVITY 26 JUNIOR TENNIS RACKET
Lightweight 250g Graphite Composite Frame
The 250g unstrung weight of the HEAD IG Gravity 26 Junior Tennis Racket sits in the lightweight junior category, making the frame easy for kids to swing comfortably through long practice sessions. Graphite composite construction adds maneuverability and control, which is exactly what young players need as they build proper stroke mechanics. This HEAD graphite junior racket gives a more refined feel than basic aluminum frames.
100 Sq Inch Head with Generous Sweet Spot
A 100 sq inch head (645 cm²) gives young players a wider hitting area, which keeps off-centre contact playable. Off-centre contact is much more forgiving than on smaller frames, so junior players keep more balls in play while they work on timing and stroke mechanics on the HEAD IG Gravity 26 Junior Tennis Racket.
Innegra Technology for Stability and Vibration Damping
The HEAD IG Gravity 26 Junior Tennis Racket features Innegra technology, a high modulus fibre integrated into the frame layup. Innegra reduces frame twist on contact and dampens vibrations from impact, which translates into a more stable, comfortable feel through the grip. For developing junior players, this protects growing arms and wrists from harsh shock and lets kids practice longer in comfort.
16×19 Open String Pattern
The 16×19 layout is the most popular spin-friendly pattern on tour and works beautifully for developing junior players. Strings can move and snap back more freely on the HEAD IG Gravity 26 tennis racquet, which makes it easier for kids to learn topspin and add shape to their shots as their game grows.
26 Inch Length and 300 mm Balance
The 26 inch frame length matches the build of typical 9 to 12 year old players. The 300 mm balance gives the racket excellent feel and shot stability, while the 22 mm beam width balances power and precision through contact. This is the kind of well-engineered junior tennis racket 26 inch profile that supports proper technique development.
Pre-Strung and Ready to Play
The HEAD IG Gravity 26 Junior Tennis Racket arrives factory-strung, so there is no extra cost or wait time before the first session. Just unbox, grip up, and head to the court. Once the strings begin to lose tension after regular use, you can restring with a synthetic gut or multifilament at the recommended tension range.
