Ensure the child is under 100cm tall. If the child struggles to handle the racket, they might be too young or small for this racket. Consult with a coach to adjust the training approach.

The ball isn't going where the child intends.

Review the child's grip and swing. Check the handle markings to ensure the correct hand position. Practice proper form with a coach to refine technique.
