Wilson Pro Staff NXT 26 Prestrung Tennis Racquet Grip Size 3 7/8

The Wilson Pro Staff Precision NXT 26 is a 26-inch pre-strung junior racquet modeled after the classic look and control-oriented heritage of Wilson’s Pro Staff series. Designed specifically for developing players transitioning toward full-sized frames, it delivers high maneuverability, crisp feel, and accessible spin.

Performance Profile

1. Fast & Easy Handling: At 26 inches in length and a lightweight build (~256g), this frame allows young players to generate quick racquet-head speed without placing excessive stress on developing wrists or shoulders.
2. Spin-Friendly String Bed: Features a forgiving 100 sq. in. head paired with an open 16x15 string pattern. This combination creates dynamic string snapback, making it easy to generate topspin and lift over the net.
3. Control-Oriented Feel: Inspired by the Pro Staff family's precision-first DNA, it offers predictable placement and control for juniors honing full groundstroke mechanics.
4. Sizing & Grip: The 3 7/8" (Size 0) grip circumference is specifically tailored for junior hands aged 10–12, providing a comfortable, secure hold for proper grip transitions.

Best Suited For

1. Junior Competitors (Ages 10–12): Players standing roughly 4'8" to 5'2" (142–157 cm) tall who are ready for a 26-inch frame before moving to a standard 27-inch adult racquet.
2. Developing Intermediate Juniors: Young players taking lessons or playing green/yellow ball matches who need a lightweight frame focused on control, speed, and topspin.
