HEAD Tennis Racket Radical Jr. 26 is purpose-built to support developing players who require a blend of light weight, structural stability, and controlled power. At 255 g, the frame is engineered to be effortlessly maneuverable, helping juniors produce fluid swings while maintaining proper stroke form. Its 645 cm² (100 in²) head size increases forgiveness on off-center impacts, while the 16/19 string pattern enhances ball bite and allows young players to generate natural spin. The racket comes factory-strung to deliver a consistent response and a predictable feel, optimizing control during rally exchanges and introductory match play.

Built within the HEAD Radical series, the racket features a junior-tuned frame geometry that enhances torsional stability and reduces vibrations for arm comfort. The 00 grip size (3 7/8″) is optimized for smaller hands, allowing kids to maintain a secure and natural grip during long training sessions. Designed for the 2025 season and aligned with the style preferences of professional player Taylor Fritz, the Radical Jr. 26 supports an all-court playstyle, giving young players a balanced blend of control, responsiveness, and easy handling—ideal for advancing from beginner to intermediate performance levels.
