Video overview
The Babolat Alioth Pro JR is a diamond-shape power racket built for competitive juniors aged 8–12 who are ready to step up from recreational play.
- Shape: Diamond, with the mass and sweet spot high in the head for maximum power in attack.
- Level: Suits junior players.
- Face: Fiberglass, softer and more comfortable on impact. The right choice while you develop.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 340g, light enough to swing all session without tiring your arm.
- Standout: The skinny handle and smaller grip are tailored specifically for junior hands, ensuring a firm hold and control that an adult racket cannot offer.
- Value: A true junior competition racket, not a toy. Light enough to swing fast, shaped to add power, and designed to keep up as their game develops.
- Fiberglass frame and surface: Fiberglass is softer and more forgiving than carbon, reducing shock on mishits and making the racket more comfortable for growing arms. It gives a softer, controlled feel that suits juniors still refining their technique.
- Diamond shape with medium balance: The diamond head concentrates weight high for power on smashes and drives. Medium balance tempers that aggression slightly, keeping the racket manoeuvrable enough for fast net exchanges and defensive work.
- Large head and sweet spot: A bigger hitting area makes it easier to connect cleanly, especially for juniors still learning positioning and timing. Fewer mishits mean more confidence and faster progress.
- Skinny handle and junior grip sizing: The smaller handle diameter is sized for junior hands, allowing a firm, stable grip without strain. Adult rackets force young players to overgrip or lose control; this handle fits properly from the start.
- Lightweight construction at 340 g: Light enough to swing quickly and recover fast at the net, but with enough mass to generate pace. The balance between speed and power is tuned for competitive juniors, not recreational beginners.
The Babolat Alioth Mini JR Padel Racket is a great racket for junior players who want to learn how to play without the restraint of a racket that is too heavy for them!

How can I guarantee next day delivery?
Order any in-stock item before our daily cut-off and we'll dispatch it the same day on a next day delivery service, free of charge. Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day. If you need something for a specific date, message us before ordering and we'll confirm it'll make it in time.
How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
