The Head Radical 26 Junior Tennis Racquet is a fantastic option for young players who are ready to build confidence and enjoyment on court. Part of the Radical Jr. series, this racquet is designed to help children begin or progress their tennis journey in the most comfortable and user-friendly way possible. With a lightweight aluminium construction, it is easy for juniors to swing, helping them develop cleaner technique and better timing as their game grows.
A key feature of the Radical Jr. range is the Damp+ insert, which isolates impact at contact to reduce vibrations. For kids who are learning to strike the ball consistently, this added comfort can make a big difference, keeping the racquet stable in the hand and encouraging longer, happier hitting sessions. The Radical 26 also carries an exciting new design with an upside-down logo execution, reflecting the versatile, all-court style the Radical line is known for.
Sized at 26 inches, this model is ideal for juniors aged around 9 to 11 years who are ready for a racquet that supports more advanced rallying, movement, and point play. The larger 105 square inch head size offers a generous sweet spot for easier depth and control, while the 16x19 string pattern provides a balanced blend of spin potential and precision. Overall, it is a great step-up racquet for emerging competitors or keen learners who want to conquer the courts anytime.

Returns & Exchanges:
Provided you have not used your racquet or product & it's in exactly the same condition as when we sent it to you, we are happy to refund your money or offer an exchange if it is returned within 30 days of your purchase. A tennis racquet or product cannot be returned if you simply change your mind after hitting with the racquet or using the product, so please choose carefully! You must send the racquet/product back to us and postage is at your own cost. We do not provide a refund on a racquet if you have requested that we install strings for you (racquets that were sold as unstrung or pre-strung will be accepted for a refund). Afterpay orders can only be exchanged for a product or gift certificate.
If you are exchanging a product, we offer free shipping of the replacement product from us to you (Australian residents only and excludes bulky items). We do not offer free shipping to New Zealand customers and will provide a quote before proceeding.
International orders:
We do ship to New Zealand, however, we do have some limitations placed on us by certain brands.
We have a filter on the left hand side of the website, International Availability, that will show you what products can be shipped to your area.
Please let us know if there is something else you are interested in and we will let you know if we can help.
Please note taxes and duties may be charged for international orders.
Tennis Warehouse Australia does not accept responsibility for another country’s customs, import duties, taxes and or any other relevant fees. If your order does require payment for one or more of these charges, you will have to make payment to the relevant authority in your country before they will release your package through customs so that it can continue being delivered.
Any delays to the advised shipping timeline incurred from this process are the burden of the purchaser and not Tennis Warehouse Australia.
If you refuse the charges, your order will be returned to us. We will refund you the total of your order minus any shipping fees and any charges incurred from the return process by the carrier.
For customers in New Zealand, you can create an estimate of what these charges may be, here.
