Comments: Bought this for my 8 year old who has been playing casually since he was 4. Up until a month ago he was hitting with 2 hands on his forehand with a full size adult racket. Then he went 2 weeks ago one hand to a cheap, aluminum 25" that was light but no power. Today we tried this racket for the first time. He was a little late swinging half the time but by the end of our 45 minutes of hitting was coming around on it and with one hand. I hit with it a few balls, very comfortable, powerful, feels a bit head heavier than advertised but overall, an excellent value. My son is small for 8 (about 50 inches) and even though this is a stick for older kids, if the ability is there, go for it.
