Questions, answered
Buying
Do I pay online?
No. You reserve rackets online for free, and pay when you've seen the racket: at the club, or once delivery's been arranged.
How does reserving work?
Add rackets to your basket and send the reservation. I'll email you to confirm and arrange collection or delivery. The racket's held for you in the meantime.
Can I try a racket first?
Rackets marked "Ready now" are with me at the club, so yes, you can see and hold them before you decide.
Condition
What do the condition grades mean?
Every used racket sits on a five-step scale: carbon face crack, carbon frame crack, paint marks, minimal paint marks and brand new. See the condition guide.
Why do you sell cracked rackets?
A racket with a small crack can still play well for months, and it's priced to match. It's always on the label, never hidden in the photos.
Can I see close-ups of the marks?
Of course. Email [email protected] with the racket name and I'll send photos.
Sourcing
What is an online deal?
A racket I've found in my daily scan of eBay, Vinted, RacketLoop, Facebook Marketplace and Depop. You order it from me at the price shown and it's posted straight to you from the seller. I don't check these in person, so you get a full refund if it isn't as described, and 14 days to change your mind.
What's the difference between My stock and Online deals?
My stock is with me now. I've checked every racket in person and you can see it at the club before you pay. Online deals come from other sellers and go straight to your door, so there's more choice, but I haven't had them in my hands.
Can you find a racket that isn't listed?
Usually, yes. Send a request with the model, the condition you'd accept and your budget.
Does a source request cost anything?
No. You only pay if you buy the racket I find.
Collection and delivery
Where can I collect from?
From the club where I coach. I'll confirm the details by email when you reserve.
Do you deliver?
Yes, within the UK by arrangement. See delivery and returns.
