Overview
Babolat lists the Pure Aero Junior 26 Gen9 as a tennis racquet with a 645 cm² / 100 in² head, 660 mm / 26 in length, 250 g +/- 7 g unstrung weight, 325 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung balance, 240 swing weight, and a 16/19 stringing pattern. Unlike the adult records in this group, the cited product page identifies this exact configuration as strung.
Construction and context
The manufacturer’s technical characteristics name graphite composition and a 23-26-23 section. Babolat also labels Aeromodular4 and FSI Spin as technologies. These are the manufacturer’s material and technology labels, rather than independent evidence of a particular playing result.
Who it may suit
This record can help a shopper identify the published 26-inch, strung configuration and compare its stated head size, length, weight, balance, string pattern, stiffness field, and recommended tension with other exact product records. It does not establish fit for an individual player.
Specifications in context
- 660 mm / 26 in length and strung status
- These fields identify Babolat’s published configuration and distinguish it from a standard adult-length unstrung frame; they do not determine an individual player’s fit.
- 16/19 stringing pattern and 21-24 kg / 46-52 lbs tension recommendation
- These are the manufacturer’s listed stringing fields for this configuration, not a prediction of feel, durability, or a particular player’s result.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- Babolat attaches a +/- 7 g tolerance to the published unstrung weight and a +/- 7 mm tolerance to the published balance, so individual frames can vary.
- The listed swing-weight and stiffness fields are manufacturer-supplied comparison data, not independent measurements made by this directory.
- The finished weight and balance can depend on the supplied string and any later changes to grip or accessories.
