Benefits

DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN

While developing our racquets for children, the experts at Babolat teamed up with the Laboratoire Interuniversitaire de Biologie et Motricité in Lyon to measure and evaluate the needs of young tennis players. The Drive Junior 25 benefited from this research: lightweight (230 g) and extremely easy to handle, its grip size (000) allows children to learn the right techniques at an early age.

EASY POWER

The Drive Junior 25 racquet comes with an excellent combination of power and maneuverability. Its frame is lightweight (230 g) and easy to handle thanks to a mix of graphite and aluminum, as well as extremely impact-resistant. Its open 16/17 string pattern enhances the trampoline effect and allows for powerful strokes. Your little champion will gain confidence and quickly master the game.

COMFORT

When it comes to having fun while hitting shots, comfort is an essential element - especially for children who are still learning. An open 16/17 string pattern and a soft 120-gauge string reduce vibrations, thereby protecting the joints of young players as they develop.

Care Instructions

  • Maintain your tennis racquet's string tension by storing it in a room temperature environment, and replace the overgrip consistently to prevent slipping. Restring the racquet every six months. The best way to tell if your strings need to be replaced is by listening to the sound or if they are frayed. If you hear a loud pinging sound and you feel like the ball is flying off your racquet it is likely they are “flat” and need to be re-strung. 
  • Bring your tennis shoes in a separate bag and don’t wear them for other activities. Use a soft bristle brush to clean them.
  • To maintain your pickleball paddle, use a microfiber cloth with glass cleaner and replace the grip regularly. Avoid clicking the paddle on the floor and don't use it with different balls to prevent damage.
