The 26 in length is the last step before a full-size frame, so this is typically the racket a player finishes their junior years on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbitious juniors ready for the 26 in stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e255 g — light enough to swing correctly, heavy enough to feel the ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 in² head with a 16×19 pattern, like the adult Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe last step before a full-length frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 in² \/ 645 cm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (unstrung):\u003c\/strong\u003e 255 g \/ 9.0 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320 mm (0.4 in head light)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 × 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeam:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 (4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying a new frame? \u003cstrong\u003eStringing labour is free\u003c\/strong\u003e at The Racket House — you pay only for the string you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head","offers":[{"title":"Grip 0 (4 in)","offer_id":48826249740445,"sku":"232086-UC00","price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/0308\/9565\/files\/323530.2000.2000.jpg?v=1789406046","url":"https:\/\/www.therackethouse.ca\/products\/head-speed-jr-2026-232086","provider":"The Racket House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
