Babolat Junior 26 (Blue) stringing for comfy play

[Deleted member 7041]

Hi,
Anybody can recommend good string setup for this racquet, my 11 yo player complained about some arm/wrist pain after playing with it. I didn't see any recommended tension posted, it was restrung from factory with Hyper G @50 which I assume in the middle of recommended range.

I heard that all Babolat are very stiff rackets, do you know if this 26 version also one or they make it more confirmable for kids.

I wouldn’t put poly - and especially not hyper-g for an 11 year old and especially not in a 26” junior racquet. I believe babolat recommends babolat xcel multi filament for their junior racquets. Not sure what tension ranges - but 50 for that should be okay to try.

Any soft synthetic gut or multi between 25-35#.

I just strung one with Babolat Synthetic 17 @ 49# (that was mid way in the recommended tension). He's only 11. You could easily go down a couple more pounds from that.

Thanks, all
Do you know if 26 BBLT is still stiff like his older brother ?
@esgee48, sorry what is between 25-35#, is it pounds? looks like too low for any play

No the 26 Babolats the majority of them are anywhere from 62-64 rdc stiffness. The old pure storm and control 26,s were 58ra-60 ra .
