Got a little future tennis star in the family? This Novak 21-inch racket is perfect for kids aged 4 to 6 who are just starting to learn the game. The aluminum construction gives it that perfect balance of being lightweight enough for small hands to handle while still having enough substance to actually hit the ball properly. At 180 grams, it's not so heavy that it'll tire out young arms, but has enough weight to generate some power when they make contact. The aluminum frame is seriously durable too - it can handle being dropped, banged around, and all the other abuse that comes with enthusiastic young players. It even comes with a headcover to protect the racket when not in use, plus a shoulder strap that makes it easy for kids to carry their own gear to lessons or the court. The size is ideal for this age group - not so big that it's unwieldy, but large enough to give them a good chance of actually hitting the ball. Whether your child is taking formal lessons or just hitting balls in the backyard, this racket gives them the right tool to develop proper technique and actually enjoy learning the game. It's the perfect first real tennis racket that'll have them feeling like a pro in no time!
