HEAD IG Speed 26" Junior Composite Tennis Racket

Ideal for juniors aged 9-12 seeking speed, control and comfort

Overview

The HEAD IG Speed 26″ is designed for young players aged 9-12 (approx. 55" tall), combining light manoeuvrability with reliable performance. Built with a graphite‑Innegra composite, it offers both shock absorption and stability. Enhanced with the Damp Plus system, it delivers a comfortable feel--perfect choice for a junior's first serious racket.

Key Technologies

Innegra

Ultra-light high‑performance fibre woven with graphite to enhance stability, toughness and power.

Damp Plus

Inserted into the frame to isolate impact vibrations from reaching the grip, ensuring greater comfort and arm-friendliness.

Pro / Player Review

The HEAD IG Speed 26″ excels in offering junior players a well-balanced package of control, feel and ease of use. Its light weight supports quick swing speeds and shot adaptability, while the 100 in² head provides a forgiving sweetspot. The stability-enhancing Innegra and damped frame make it arm-friendly--a vital feature for young elbows. Compared to basic aluminium junior rackets, this composite model presents a significant upgrade in comfort and performance.

However, more advanced juniors seeking power might graduate to 27″ adult-performance rackets after initial development. For its target segment, though, the IG Speed 26″ strikes the right balance.

Q: What age and height is this racket best suited for?

A: Ideal for players aged roughly 9-12 years and at least 55″ tall--its 26″ length suits growing juniors transitioning from smaller rackets.

Q: Is this racket arm‑friendly for young players?

A: Yes--thanks to the Innegra composite for stability and the Damp Plus insert that absorbs shock, this racket prioritises comfort and reduces strain on developing arms.

Q: When should a player move up to an adult racket?

A: Once the player consistently controls full‑length shots, rallies comfortably and begins outgrowing the 26″ length--which typically occurs around the age of 12-13 or at a height of approximately 5′4″.
