What's the difference between beginner and advanced rackets?
Beginner-friendly rackets are usually more forgiving, durable, and easier to use. Advanced rackets tend to use higher-end materials and more specific specs, designed for players who can consistently generate their own power and want more control and precision.
Restringing, Tension & Customisation
Do you offer racket restringing in London?
Yes, we offer in-store restringing in Ealing, West London. You can book online here: Tennis racket restringing and Badminton restringing.
How do I pick the right string tension?
As a simple guide, lower tension can add comfort and power, while higher tension can add control. The best tension depends on your swing speed, playing style, and string type. If you're not sure, choose a mid-range tension and adjust after your next restring based on feel.
How often should I restring my racket?
Frequent players usually need restringing more often than casual players. If the strings feel dead, you've lost control, or you're breaking strings regularly, it's time to restring.
Do you offer grip changes or other customisation?
Yes. We can help with grip changes, string choices, and advice on setup so your racket matches how you play. If you have a specific request, get in touch before ordering or bring your racket into store.
Returns & Warranty
What is your returns policy?
We offer a 30-day returns policy on unused items in their original packaging. Return postage is usually the customer's responsibility unless the item is faulty.
