The Head Challenge Lite tennis racket is lightweight, manoeuvrable & offers more accessible handling for beginners, female players & those wanting comfort & control from their racket. The weight is low at 260g (9.1oz), meaning swinging is easier & more controllable. The 16x 19 string pattern is open which promotes spin play & the 100in 2 (645cm 2) head lets you hit more powerful shots, furthered by the head heavy balance, & forgives off-centre shots better. The graphite racquet is supplied strung with a Sonic Pro string & comes with a full racket cover to protect it between uses.
