Prokennex ACE 26 Junior Tennis Racket – Strung

🎾 ProKennex Ace 26 Junior Tennis Racket – Complete Description & Detailed Specs

The ProKennex Ace 26 Junior racket is purpose-built for young tennis players aged 10–12 years who are either improving rapidly or preparing for the shift to full-size (27”) adult frames. Designed with the physical proportions and technique development needs of pre-teen players in mind, it strikes the perfect balance between control, forgiveness, power, and maneuverability.

🧠 Who Is This Racket For?

This racket is designed for:

• Age Group: 10 to 12 years

• Height Range: Approximately 135 cm to 150 cm (4’5” to 4’11”)

• Skill Level: Beginner to intermediate junior players

• Ideal Transitioners: Kids who’ve outgrown their 25″ racket but aren’t ready for a full 27″ adult frame yet

• Training Use: Suitable for both recreational coaching and competitive training

🏆 Performance Benefits

✅ Lightweight but Stable

At 260g, the racket offers enough mass to generate controlled power but is still easy to swing and maneuver. The head-light balance improves agility, helping young players react quickly at the net or adjust mid-rally.

✅ Forgiving Sweet Spot

The 100 sq in head size gives a large and forgiving hitting area. This improves consistency on off-center shots, which is critical for juniors still mastering timing and clean contact.

✅ Powerful Yet Controllable

Thanks to its composite graphite-aluminum construction, this frame is stiffer than pure aluminum beginner frames, offering more power and feedback — without losing control.

✅ Easy Spin Development

With a 16×19 string pattern, players can start to produce topspin and slice more effectively — an essential skill as they begin to rally and compete more seriously.

✅ Professional Design Elements

The consistent beam width (21.5 mm) and graphite composite material ensure the racket doesn’t feel hollow or “tinny” like many entry-level junior rackets. It mimics the feel of adult rackets in a scaled-down package.
