HEAD Speed 23‑Inch Junior Composite Tennis Racket

Overview

Ideal for juniors aged 6-8 (approx. 120-130 cm tall), the HEAD Speed 23 is a lightweight graphite-composite racket designed to help young players develop speed and control on court. Pre-strung and ready for play, its durable build and manageable weight make it a great first "real" racket.

Key Technologies

Innegra?

Ultra-light high-performance fibre woven into the graphite composite to enhance shock absorption and stability.

Damp Plus

Integrated insert in the throat reduces impact vibration for improved feel and comfort.

Pro / Player Review

Strengths:
- Lightweight (≈215 g) makes it easy to swing, encouraging proper technique.
- Innegra + Damp Plus blend offers added comfort and shock reduction--great for developing joints.
- 95 in² head with an open 16×18 stringing offers a blend of power and spin for growing players.

Weaknesses:
- Smaller head size provides less forgiveness on off-centre hits compared to larger junior rackets.
- Racket may feel lacking in power for stronger or taller children nearing 8 years--next step is a 25 inch junior racket.

Overall, it's a versatile, well-balanced junior racket that bridges the gap between entry-level aluminium rackets and intermediate junior models.

Q: Is this racket suitable for a 7‑year‑old beginner?

A: Yes. Lightweight and pre‑strung, the Speed 23 supports developing technique and confidence for beginners aged 6-8.

Q: When should they move to 25 inch?

A: Once they reach 130 cm in height or start showing consistent strength and pace, a 25 inch junior model--like the HEAD Speed 25--is recommended.

Q: Does it come with a cover?

A: Models typically come pre-strung but may or may not include a full cover--check the retailer's description.
