HEAD IG Speed 26" Junior Tennis Racquet is the perfect blend of performance, control, and fun for young players aged 9 to 11 who are ready to take their tennis skills to the next level. Inspired by HEAD’s professional Speed series—endorsed by world champions—this racquet brings advanced technology into a youth-friendly design, helping juniors build confidence with every swing.
Constructed from a lightweight graphite composite, the 26-inch frame is specifically sized for junior players aged 9–11 or approximately 52"–56" tall. Its manageable weight allows for fast racquet head speed and quick reactions, essential for developing footwork and timing. Whether hitting from the baseline or coming to the net, young players will appreciate the racquet’s excellent balance of power and control.
What truly sets the Speed Jr. 26 apart is its dual-technology performance. Innegra™ technology enhances shock absorption and frame stability, allowing for cleaner contact and improved consistency. Additionally, Damp Plus technology isolates impact vibrations before they reach the handle, delivering a more comfortable, stable feel that reduces arm fatigue and promotes longer, more enjoyable play sessions.
Visually striking with a modern design that mirrors the look of pro tour racquets, this junior model doesn’t just perform—it looks the part too.
Whether your child is just starting lessons or beginning to compete, the HEAD IG Speed 26 is an ideal first or second racquet that supports learning and elevates performance on the court.
