Babolat Carlitos Junior 26 Tennis Racquet

The Babolat Carlitos Junior 26 (2026) is part of a special signature range launched to celebrate the 9th generation of the Pure Aero. Inspired directly by Carlos "Carlitos" Alcaraz, this racquet is designed as an entry-point frame for young fans who want to play with the style and colors of the world No. 1.

Unlike the high-performance Pure Aero Junior 26 (which is graphite), the Carlitos Junior 26 features a 100% Aluminum construction, making it ultra-light, durable, and affordable for beginners

Ease of Handling: Because it is made of aluminum, the racquet is exceptionally light at 240g. This allows children to swing effortlessly without the physical strain of a heavier graphite racquet, helping them build correct technique and coordination.

Teaching Aids: A standout feature of this range is the integrated pedagogical tools. The racquet often includes a "teaching grip" that helps guide correct hand placement and visual markers on the frame to assist with stroke mechanics.

Power & Forgiveness: The large 100 sq. in. head provides a generous sweet spot, while the open 16x17 string pattern helps young players generate depth and power even with a shorter swing.

Inspiration: The cosmetic is a direct reflection of the Pure Aero 2026 used by Alcaraz on tour, designed to motivate young "Carlitos" fans as they hit their first balls.
