Built Around The Way
You Actually Play

Four numbers decide how a racket feels long before the brand does. Tell us your sport, your level and where on court you win points, and we narrow the range down to two or three frames worth holding.

  • Weight285–305 g

    Heavier frames hold steady against pace; lighter ones forgive a late swing.

  • Balance4–8 pts head-light

    Head-light for quick hands at the net, head-heavy for depth from the baseline.

  • Head size97–100 in²

    A larger head widens the sweet spot; a smaller one rewards clean contact with control.

  • Level of playClub league

    Stiffer, thinner beams suit full swings; softer frames are kinder on arms still learning.

Delivered Across The UK,
Returned Without Fuss

How your order reaches you, how it comes back if it is not right, and how payment is handled.

Tracked UK delivery is £9.50 per order. Orders placed by 2pm on a working day leave the same afternoon and usually arrive the next working day on the mainland. The Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland take two to three working days. Rackets travel in a rigid frame box, never a soft mailer.

Dispatch

Tracking link sent by email on the day it leaves

You have 14 days from delivery to cancel, and a further 14 days to send the goods back, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Rackets must come back unplayed: protective film on, no marks on the frame or bumper, grip unwrapped. Rackets strung to a tension you specified are made to order and are not covered, unless faulty. Refunds go back to the original payment method within 14 days of us receiving the return.
