Decathlon | Kids' 19" Tennis Racket TR130 - Red

The TR130 JR was redesigned with six concepts, developed in conjunction withtrainers and kids, to help your child get better from their very first swing. **Key benefits:** * Ease of learning: It includes six concepts to make gripping, positioning and swinging easier. * Handling: Lightweight (188 g), manoeuvrable racket for your first rallies. * Forgiveness: The head size (535 cm²) mitigates centring errors.**Technical information:**HAND PLACEMENT: Two sections on the handle to show kids where to place theirhands: \- The dominant hand should grip the handle on the lower, unmarked area\- The second hand - especially for backhands - should grip the striated area.This ensures good power and stability when hitting the ball. ; RACKET GRIP:With its three coloured markings on the handle, the TR130 JR helps kids placetheir hands in the right position for forehands, backhands and serves. Kidsshould be able to see: \- the yellow marking when hitting a forehand \- thewhite marking when serving \- the grey marking when hitting a backhand Thiskeeps the racket head in the right place when hitting the ball and ensures theball is hit properly. ; THE RIGHT STANCE: When your child receives the ball,they should hold the racket so they can see the face of the person on theframe. Their legs should be slightly apart and knees bent in what is called a"CHAMPION'S STANCE" to be in the right position to hit the ball. ; SECOND HANDPLACEMENT: When setting up to hit the ball, the second hand plays a key rolein stabilising the racket and ensuring the right movement: the racket shouldbe high and ready to receive the ball. The hand should be placed on the throatof the racket. We put visual and textured markings on the grip to make thiseasier. ; SETTING UP AND FOLLOWING THROUGH: To help kids set up and followthrough when swinging, we placed a small figure on the edge of the racket. Atthe beginning of the movement, the figure should be "looking at" the ball asit's coming towards the racket. At the end of the movement, it should still be"looking at" the ball after it is hit. This forces your child to set up andfollow through properly.
