What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing connects the 23-inch size with ages 6–8 and heights of 45–49 inches, while customer feedback also mentions suitability for a three-year-old. Children’s fit can vary, so compare the racquet length and grip with the player before buying. The manufacturer lists a 98 in² head size as forgiving, but this is a product claim, not an independently verified performance result.
