HAND PLACEMENT
Two areas on the handle indicate the correct positioning of the hands:
- The dominant hand should hold the handle down on the unmarked part
- The second hand, especially for two-handed backhands, should be positioned up on the grooved part.
This ensures good power and stability when striking.
RACKET GRIPS
Thanks to its three colored markings at the top and bottom of the handle, the TR130 Jr helps children position their hands correctly for forehands, backhands and serves.
Children should position their hands in such a way as to leave visible:
- the yellow marking for forehands
- the white marking for serves
- the gray marking for backhands
This helps position the racket's sieve correctly when hitting the ball and forces it to cover the ball slightly.
THE CHAMPION'S POSITION!
When your child is waiting for the ball from his/her partner, he/she should hold the racket in such a way that the eyes of the character drawn on the edge of the racket are in front of him/her.
Combined with a position in which the legs are slightly apart and the knees are well bent, he/she will be in a waiting position, known as the "CHAMPION POSITION", which will put him/her in a better position to hit the ball.
FREE HAND PLACEMENT
During preparation for the shot, the second hand plays an essential role in stabilizing the racket and ensuring good movement, in particular keeping the racket head high and ready to hit the ball.
To do this, it must be positioned at the heart of the racket.
We have therefore positioned visual and tactile cues to help you feel this correct position.
PREPARATION AND COMPLETION
We've positioned a small figure at the end of the racket to help your child's gesture to be wide and relaxed.
At the start of the gesture, the figure must "look" at the incoming ball.
At the end of the gesture, he must also "look" at the outgoing ball.
This forces your child to position his racket correctly at the start and end of the gesture, and to have a correct, wide and relaxed gesture.
CENTERING ZONE
We've placed a white ball-shaped marking in the middle of the string.
By trying to hit the ball on this marking, your child will concentrate on centering the ball in the sieve and getting the racquet in the right position.
This will make hitting the ball more effective and more enjoyable for him. In fact, it's in the middle of the screen that hits are most powerful and precise, and where vibrations are least significant.
