The Wilson US Open Jr 19 is the smallest and lightest racket in Wilson’s official US Open lineup. Designed specifically for toddlers and preschool-aged children who are taking their very first swings, this tiny 19-inch racket is the ultimate starter tool.
Featuring a bright, fun, and highly visible colorway (complete with a lime-green hoop and yellow grip), it is engineered to look exciting to young children while offering a lightweight, virtually indestructible frame that easily survives the drops and scrapes of early childhood play.
Key Performance Profile
- Featherweight Maneuverability: At just 6.2 ounces strung, this racket is light enough for a toddler to swing with one hand. It encourages early motor skill development, spatial awareness, and hand-eye coordination without frustrating or tiring out a young child's arm.
- AirLite Alloy Strength: Built from high-durability aluminum, the racket is virtually indestructible. It is fully prepared to withstand being dropped on concrete, banged against fences, or dragged along the ground during play.
- Proportionate Sweet Spot: The 80-square-inch head size gives young children a generous hitting surface relative to the racket's short 19-inch length, making it easier to connect with slow-moving balls.
- Ultra-Small Ergonomic Handle: The grip size is specifically designed for very small hands to hold comfortably, teaching children how to naturally wrap their fingers around a racket handle.
- Protective Head Guard: A durable plastic bumper lines the top of the frame to keep the aluminum and strings safe from premature scraping wear.
Best Suited For
- Toddlers & Preschoolers Aged 2 to 4: Sized specifically for children who are under 39 inches (100 cm) tall.
- First-Time Introductions: Perfect for playing in the backyard, garage, or driveway.
- Balloon & Foam Ball Play: Highly recommended for hitting balloons, soft foam balls, or oversized Red Felt/Sponge transition balls indoors or outdoors. Because standard tennis balls bounce too fast and high for toddlers, using slower, larger balls with this 19-inch racket provides the best learning experience.
Note: The Wilson US Open Jr 19 comes pre-strung from the factory and is ready to use immediately out of the box.
