Head Vibe Gr 25

The Head Vibe Gr 25 is a junior padel racket built for young players around 8 to 10 years old who are learning the game and need something light enough to swing freely. At a smaller frame size, it keeps things manageable so kids can focus on technique rather than fighting the racket.

At 400g, this sits in a reasonable range for a junior racket, though parents should note that some younger children may still find it on the heavier side depending on their build and strength. The "Gr 25" designation refers to the grip and frame size, placing it in the 25-inch category that Head uses for their junior range. Beyond weight and sizing, the full spec sheet for this model is not publicly detailed, so if core material or face construction matters to you, it is worth contacting us directly before buying.

This racket suits a child who is just starting out, attending group lessons, or playing casually with family. It is not designed for competitive junior play at a high level, and a more experienced young player who already has solid technique would likely benefit from moving up to a full-size or larger junior frame. If your child is closer to 11 or 12, check whether the Gr 26 or a small adult frame might be a better fit for their height and reach.

Frequently asked questions

What age is the Head Vibe Gr 25 designed for?

It is generally suited to children around 8 to 10 years old, but height matters more than age. A child around 120 to 135 cm tall is typically the right fit for a 25-inch racket.

Is 400g too heavy for a young child?

It depends on the child. Stronger or taller kids in that age range handle it fine, but smaller or younger beginners may find it tiring over a long session.

How does this compare to other junior rackets in the Head range?

Head produces junior rackets in several grip sizes. The Gr 25 sits below the Gr 26, so if your child is on the taller side of the age range, the larger size may give them more room to grow into the racket.

How should I care for this racket?

Keep it out of direct heat and avoid leaving it in a car on warm days. Store it in a padel bag to protect the frame and face from knocks.
