Who this racket is for
The Head Delta Junior 2022 is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. With a weight of 320g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.
