The Wilson Ultra 26 V5 is a premium, high-performance junior tennis racquet designed for ambitious young players who are preparing to transition to adult-sized frames.
Sporting the same shifting, matte Electric Indigo paint finish as the adult V5 line, this frame swaps out cheap aluminum for a high-end graphite composition. It provides developing players with the exact performance, stability, and plow-through they need to compete at a higher level.
Performance Profile
The Ultra 26 V5 is engineered to inject explosive power and confidence into a junior's game:
- Explosive, Forgiving Power: Utilizing a variable Dual Taper Beam (23mm/26.5mm/22.5mm), the frame provides massive structural stiffness in the throat to maximize power, while remaining incredibly forgiving across its 100 sq in head.
- Enhanced Feel & Ball Pocketing: Featuring Wilson’s SI3D technology, the frame's hoop is engineered with precise three-dimensional flex. This allows the ball to sink deeper into the string bed, optimizing control and helping players shape their shots with extra spin.
- Dampened, Stable Ride: The racquet features a Full Carbon Handle and Crush Zone Grommets. Together, they absorb harsh shock and vibrations, protecting growing shoulders and wrists while giving the player a highly connected, solid feel at contact.
- Ready to Play: The racquet comes pre-strung with high-quality, comfortable Wilson synthetic gut or Sensation strings so kids can head straight to the court.
Best Suited For
- Age Range: Juniors aged 10 to 11+ years old.
- Player Height: Ideally suited for players standing between 55 to 60 inches (140 to 152 cm) tall.
- Skill Level: Transitioning intermediate to advanced competitive junior players who are starting to play yellow ball matches and need a frame that behaves like an adult racquet, but in a shorter, lighter package.
Eco-Friendly Construction: Like the rest of the V5 line, the bumper guard, grommets, and end cap are made from Agiplast—a plant-based polymer that reduces the carbon footprint of the racquet's construction without sacrificing on-court durability.
