Setup, Compatibility & Care
Choosing the Right Size: Select the correct racket size based on the child's age and height. Use the size chart in the product details or consult a coach. For instance, a 6-year-old might start with a 21-inch racket.
Grip Care: The synthetic grip can absorb sweat and become slippery. Regularly wipe it with a damp cloth and consider using overgrips for better comfort and control. Replace the grip when it becomes worn or uncomfortable.
Racket Storage: When not in use, store the racket in the head cover to protect it from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or in a hot car.
String Tension: While the string tension is set when you buy the racket, it's a good idea to have it checked periodically by a professional, particularly if the racket is used frequently or if the strings show signs of wear. Note that the string tension is not adjustable in this model.
