Racquets for girls

[t135]

I'm out of my element here. What are good choices for 27" junior girls racquets? I have never heard much about what female pros use and don't know what's popular with junior girls. Need something for an intermediate junior girl developing but full strokes. Maybe needs a little power but not too much. Don't mind buying one as an intermediate step to use for a year then move on. I need advice.

Youtek IG Prestige S?
Youtek IG Radical S?

Would love something in the Head line, it's what I use.

Thanks.

I've seen several using the Wilson tour line - the latest one would be the BLX Tour racquet.

I have a girl who just upgraded to an instinct. She said it felt a little weird but she was definitely hitting the ball with more spin and pace.

Solinco has a line of rackets... one's 10 oz.(pro 7) I use the pro 10, and it makes ground strokes more fun to hit, volleying is rewarding too. And these rackets progress up to a players stick.

I would have her try a few good thin beam rackets and a few medium beam tweeners to see what she likes best. I have noticed a trend on WTA for more tweeners than ATP. When I say tweener, I mean anything wider than 22 mm and stiffer than 65 such a Bab AeroPro or Dunlop 400 or similar.

Thin Beam Options:
1. volkl o10 295
2. Dunlop 300 (bio or AG 4d)
3. Dunlop max 200g (new model)
4. Rad
5. Prestige if good full strokes

Thick Beam Options:

1. Volkl O8 or Volkl O8 315
2. Wilson Pro Open (last year black/yellow is very good - not sure about the newer models but they get decent reviews)
3. Bab AeroPro
4. Bab Pure Drive
5. The new Head Sharapova racket

There are loads of other good rackets but these would be worth a shot.
