The junior version keeps the aerodynamic beam and open string pattern that make the Aero family so good at generating topspin, while sizing the frame down to something an 8-12 year old can actually rip through. Babolat also produces a Rafa Jr signature variant in the same paint job as the senior pro's racquet — a nice motivator for spin-curious juniors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pure Aero Junior 25 (235g) suits ages 8-10; the Pure Aero Junior 26 (245-250g) and Rafa Jr 26 suit ages 10-12.
