The Champion Sports Junior Tempered Steel Twin Shaft 24"L Racket in silver and blue is crafted with a durable tempered steel shaft and frame, ensuring it can withstand even the most enthusiastic rallies. The coated steel strings provide extra power for young players developing their smashes and clears, while the dimpled leather grip ensures a comfortable and secure hold. The shorter length (2 inches shorter than conventional rackets) makes it easier for kids to swing and control the racket, but keep in mind that steel strings offer less control compared to nylon, making precise shot placement more challenging. While it might require a bit more practice for those just starting out, this racket is perfect for players ready to advance their game. Champion Sports offers a wide variety of rackets to suit every need.
