Description
The Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Junior 26 (245g) tennis racket is engineered for aspiring young athletes who want to emulate the explosive spin and power of Rafael Nadal. Tailored for junior players aged 10–12 years old or those approximately 140–150 cm tall, this racket is a high-performance option for advanced juniors developing their skills and playing style on full-size courts.
Weighing 245 grams unstrung, the Pure Aero Rafa Junior 26 is light enough for younger players to swing easily, yet stable enough to deliver solid impact and reliable shot depth. The lighter weight reduces arm fatigue, promotes faster swing speeds, and helps juniors maintain control through longer rallies—ideal for training, match play, and early-stage competition.
Designed with the same aerodynamic frame and visual identity as Rafa’s adult Pure Aero, this junior version features AeroModular technology, which reduces air drag and increases racquet head speed for superior spin potential. The open 16×19 string pattern enhances ball bite and topspin, letting young players hit high, deep, and aggressive shots—just like their idol.
The Graphite composite construction ensures a balance of responsiveness and durability, allowing juniors to generate power without sacrificing feel. It offers a forgiving yet competitive frame that helps build confidence while promoting proper technique development.
The racket’s vibrant Rafa-inspired design—with bold combinations of purple, yellow, and orange—reflects passion, energy, and ambition. It stands out visually while also representing the spirit of one of the greatest champions in tennis history. Young players will love the connection to Nadal’s legacy, both in look and performance.
Equipped with a comfortable synthetic grip, the Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Junior 26 is easy to handle and suitable for longer playing sessions. The grip size is adapted for junior hands, ensuring stability and control without slippage.
