Xenon Vortex Junior Platform Tennis Paddle | Even Balance Point | Medium Firmness Foam Core | Power and Control | Fun Tie-Dye Design for Kids | 4" Grip
VORTEX JUNIOR Looking for the ideal paddle designed specifically for younger players? The Vortex Junior fulfills that need and more. This platform paddle provides a perfectly even balance point and weighing 335 grams, the Junior is a great weight for kids. This colorful paddle has a fun 2 sided tie-dye design but is a real playable paddle built for performance. Carbon fiber frame and medium firm EVA foam core help provide the right mix of weight, control and "pop”.
FEATURES The Vortex Junior is 17” long but since all our adult size handles are 1” longer than most, we are able to reduce the handle size by 1” to have a handle comparable to most other adult size paddles. This helps make the transition to a full size paddle easier in the future. Each paddle includes the maximum number of holes and the largest hole size allowed, all arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The entire face of the paddle has grit coverage.
TIPS ON BALANCE POINT Balance is the mid-point at which the weight is evenly distributed between the handle and the head. A paddle with a heavier weight towards the head provides more power and makes it easier to control volleys at the net. Controlling drives is more of a challenge. The closer the weight is to the handle a player will need to swing their arm faster to create the power but it should be easier to control drives. Most Xenon paddles are evenly balanced for the best of both worlds.
AVOID INJURY How many times have you hit with a paddle that either felt like you were hitting with a piece of cardboard or a 2" x 4" piece of lumber? Both can send vibrations and cause pain in the arm and elbow that can lead to tennis elbow and fatigue. A paddle should feel GOOD when you hit with it. With Xenon paddles, you'll feel a solid, powerful paddle enabling you to control the ball while avoiding injury.
