Tennis racket Babolat Carlitos JR 25 – junior size 25, lightweight junior racquet

Babolat Carlitos JR 25 is a junior tennis racket in size 25 designed for young players transitioning from beginner to intermediate level. This lightweight junior racquet features an aluminum frame and a smaller grip to facilitate easier swings and improved control. Suited for practice, coaching sessions and junior matches on club courts, it supports better timing, spin and comfort during play. The racquet’s design is inspired by Carlos Alcaraz and is intended for children approximately 135–145 cm tall (about 9–11 years).

Advantages

The lightweight aluminum frame reduces fatigue and makes it simpler for young players to accelerate the racket through the ball. A smaller grip size improves handling for small hands and helps develop consistent stroke mechanics. The racket’s head geometry and more open string pattern assist in generating power and provide a forgiving sweet spot that helps recover from off-center hits. Visual teaching aids integrated into the racket help guide hand placement and stroke execution, supporting faster learning during lessons and practice.

Regular use during lessons and matches will help transfer skills to competitive situations.

Usage recommendations
