Starter Packs That Create The Best Tennis Learning Experience
The right equipment makes a huge difference. These starter packs were designed by Coach Nate to help your child start rallying, learning, and having fun right away.
Starter Pack Option 1
The spec tennis paddles are a tremendous asset to any player (kid or adult) learning tennis because they are short in length, heavy, and low powered. The length puts the sweet spot close to the hand which means easier to make good contact. The weight + the low power level help players develop good biomechanics, learn how to hit through the ball, and generate power without the help of the racquet.

- Weight: 10.5 oz (approx)
- Length: 18"
Starter Pack Option 2
These 23" tennis racquets are substantially heavier than other junior racquets on the market. This is intentional and is better for a player's overall development than using a light racquet. Too often, players develop bad habits when using lightweight junior racquets--you'll see them 'wristing' or 'slapping' the ball. This racquet has a huge positive impact on player development compared to other junior racquets.
