The Vulcan V300 Youth Paddle was designed with kids 8-12 in mind. Made with fiberglass for durability, it measures 13 3/4" long with a 4" handle. It is the perfect size and weight--6.5-6.9 oz.-- for young players to develop skills without tiring arms. It also has a textured, high-tack grip of 3.5" circumference. Great choice for those starting out! Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
