About the Lobwell Pip Junior

Pip is a scaled down racket for children who are swinging a full size one and struggling with the weight. Lighter rackets let juniors learn a proper swing instead of pushing the ball with their shoulder. As a rough guide, move up to Lark or Fen once they reach about 1.50 m tall or 12 years old.

  • Around 290 g, so smaller arms can swing it properly
  • Slightly shorter handle and thinner profile than an adult racket
  • Soft foam core for an easy, comfortable rebound
  • Wrist cord fitted, as on every padel racket

Who it suits

Built for children aged about 7 to 12. It puts placement and comfort ahead of raw pace.
