The HEAD Radical 26 Junior is designed for recreational junior players aged 9 to 11 years (height around 142–157 cm / 56–62 inches). Styled with the vibrant orange colorway and dynamic design of the adult Radical line, it provides an accessible, comfortable platform for kids developing their foundational strokes and rally skills.

Weighing 245 grams (unstrung) with a 26-inch length and a forgiving 105 square-inch head size, it balances maneuverability, sweet-spot size, and easy depth for Green Stage (Stage 1) or yellow tennis balls.

Performance Profile

  1. Maneuverability (9.5/10): Superior. At 245 g with a head-light balance, it swings easily, allowing developing players to practice full mechanics without arm fatigue.
  2. Forgiveness & Sweet Spot (9.5/10): High. The oversized 105 sq. in. head broadens the effective hitting zone, keeping off-center contacts deep in play.
  3. Vibration Dampening & Comfort (9.0/10): Excellent. Equipped with HEAD’s Damp+ insert, which isolates the handle to filter out high-frequency frame shock.
  4. Durability (8.5/10): Tough. Built with a lightweight aluminum construction, making it resistant to ground impact and wear during practice sessions.

Key Technologies

  1. Aluminum Construction: Lightweight and durable alloy framing engineered to handle rough wear while keeping swing weight easy to manage.
  2. Damp+ Insert: A specialized dampening element isolated above the grip handle to absorb frame vibrations before they reach young joints.

Best Suited For

  1. Junior Starters & Casual Competitors (Ages 9–11): Young players building baseline fundamentals and control on full courts.
  2. Green Ball / Stage 1 & Yellow Ball Players: Juniors transitioning toward full-length adult equipment who want a lightweight, comfortable frame.
  3. Radical Line Enthusiasts: Children who want to match the energetic look of HEAD's flagship Radical series.
