Tennis racket Babolat Carlitos JR 19 junior size 19"

Babolat Carlitos JR 19 is a 19-inch junior tennis racket designed for young beginner players aged approximately 4–6 years and for children with heights between 95 cm and 110 cm. The racket features a lightweight aluminum frame and a grip size suited to small hands, with visual teaching aids and a teaching grip to support learning correct hand placement and basic stroke mechanics. The Carlitos JR 19 offers an open string pattern and a larger head area to assist with generating power and forgiveness while children develop technique on court.

Advantages

The lightweight aluminum construction makes the racket easy to handle for young players, reducing fatigue during lessons and practice. A more open string pattern and a relatively larger hitting surface increase the margin for error and help children produce deeper shots with less effort. Integrated visual teaching aids and a dedicated teaching grip help coaches and parents demonstrate correct hand placement and stroke paths directly on the racket, supporting faster and more consistent skill development.

• Beginners aged about 4–6 years starting tennis lessons
• Children between approximately 95 cm and 110 cm tall
• Coaching sessions, club lessons and recreational court play

Key specifications

• Frame material: aluminum
• Designed for young beginners and small hands

How to use

Select the Babolat Carlitos JR 19 for a child who fits the recommended age and height range, and fit the racket with an age-appropriate overgrip if extra cushioning is desired. Use the teaching grip and visual aids during demonstrations to show proper hand placement and stroke swing. Begin with basic groundstrokes and short rallies, progressing from cooperative feeding drills to simple games that encourage movement and timing. Supervise string tension and grip condition periodically and replace the grip when it becomes worn to maintain safe handling.

Usage recommendations

Use this racket primarily for introductory lessons, supervised practice and beginner drills. Pair it with lightweight, low-compression balls suitable for young children and with instruction focusing on correct grip, swing path and footwork. Avoid using the racket as the child outgrows the length, and upgrade to the next junior size when the child’s height and strength require a larger racket.
