Joma Game Junior Padel Racket

Tradeinn lists 330 to 340 g in its spec list and 300 to 330 g in the description, and Joma's own page, as quoted in search results, gives 330 to 340 g. The HEAD junior rackets on our site sit at 300 to 320 g, so this is the heavy end.

For a small child that matters more than the colour. A heavier racket with a low balance still swings easily, because the weight sits towards the handle, but a child who can't swing it comfortably will drop their wrist and pick up bad habits. If they're small or very young, look at the lighter options on our kids padel racket page.

All sources agree on the shape and the feel: round, low balance, soft EVA core, and a carbon-fibre-reinforced frame. The Tradeinn listing gives the face as fibreglass and the level as junior beginner. Where they disagree is on thickness (33 mm in the spec list, a 38 mm profile in the description) and on weight. Length isn't listed anywhere we looked; the size option says only 'Long'.

We've given the ranges rather than choosing one. If a number matters, for example if you're matching racket thickness to a small hand, measure the racket when it arrives.

A junior who's just started and needs a racket that forgives mis-hits: the round shape keeps the sweet spot near the middle, and the soft core stops the ball flying off the face. It's an initiation racket rather than a development one, so a keen child will outgrow it, and the step up is a lighter-feeling teardrop. See our full padel racket range when that day comes.

Kids grow quickly and so does their footwear: junior court shoes from padel shoes matter as much as the racket for avoiding slips on sand-filled turf.

A pack of padel balls to learn on, a fresh overgrip from padel grips so the handle suits small hands, and a padel bag or racket cover that the child can carry themselves. A racket protector is cheap insurance for a frame that will hit the glass more often than it should.
