If you've got a young padel player at home who's ready to move beyond the basics, the Rise 25 Grey Junior Racket is exactly the kind of kit that makes that next step feel exciting. Designed for kids aged 9 to 11, this 25-inch frame hits the sweet spot between being easy to swing and giving enough feedback to actually develop real technique. The grey, white and teal colourway looks sharp too — the kind of racket a kid will actually want to pick up and take to the court.
Construction-wise, this racket punches well above its junior price point. The blend of carbon and glass fibre in the frame means you're getting a genuinely high-quality build — not a toy, but a proper piece of padel equipment scaled down for younger arms and shorter reaches. It comes pre-strung with soft synthetic gut, which is a smart choice for junior players because it's forgiving on the arm and gives a comfortable, consistent feel right out of the box.
At 240g and with a slightly head-light balance, the Rise 25 Grey Junior Racket is easy to manoeuvre without feeling flimsy. The 16x19 string pattern offers a nice open face that helps generate a bit of spin and keeps the ball in play — great for kids who are still finding their timing and footwork.
This is the kind of racket that grows with a young player's confidence. It's well-made, looks great, and gives junior padel players a real foundation to build on as they work their way up through the ranks.
