The Yonex JUNIOR 21 Coral Orange is for children who have moved beyond simply finding the ball and are beginning to repeat their strokes with more confidence. This 21-inch junior racquet is recommended for heights of about 100-115 cm, with Yonex suggesting ages 4-6 as a guide. A nominal 185 g aluminium frame keeps the focus on learning manageable movements rather than coping with the mass of an adult performance racquet.

Its head measures 85 square inches, not the 86 sq. in. figure found in some retailer descriptions. ISOMETRIC geometry is designed to provide a larger effective hitting area when contact is slightly off-centre. That gives a developing player more room to practise a consistent preparation, clean follow-through and basic direction. Friendly visual cues on the frame reinforce simple coaching instructions and help keep lessons engaging for children who learn best through play.
Coral Orange makes the racquet easy to recognise during group sessions. Compared with the JUNIOR 19, this model is longer and offers a larger face, but that only helps if the child can still swing it comfortably. Fit it to height and control of movement, not the temptation to buy several sizes ahead.
