Demonstration Rackets

                           Try Before You Buy!


Why not try our racket demonstration service? We are one of very few companies that run a demo service. We have many satisfied customers who have taken advantage of our demo scheme before they have invested in their new 'on-court weapon'!

We have most of the current, popular tennis, squash and badminton demonstration rackets for you to try before you buy - over 90 to choose from!!

Our scheme is simple:

  • Come to our shop to book you demos - there is often a waiting list for the most popular rackets, so please be patient!
  • we charge £75 per demo racket you try (which is fully refundable against any racket you buy from us)  
  • you play (and enjoy!) the racket(s) for up to 7 days before returning them

 Demonstration Racket Scheme Terms and Conditions
 

Thank You for choosing to demo rackets from The Racquet Centre . We want you to enjoy the opportunity of playing with the latest rackets to help inform your buying choice. By making use of our demonstration scheme, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

How much does the demo scheme cost?

For each racket you borrow, we charge a £75 deposit. We accept all major cards except AMX. This deposit is refundable against any racket you buy from us (subject to the clarifications below).

How long can I keep the demo?

You must return the racket(s) within 7 days after you have received them.

What happens if I return the racket(s) late?

Keeping rackets longer than 7 days prevents other customers from trying them out. If any rackets are returned more than 2 weeks late, your deposit will be forfeited. The rackets will remain the property of The Racquet Centre.

Is there a time limit to buy a racket?

If you wish to buy a racket from us, your demo deposits remain valid for three months after you return the last demo racket. After this time, your demo deposits will be lost and can no longer be used against any racket purchase. If you have a reason for not being able to complete your purchase in this time frame, please contact us before the end of the three month period.

What grip size are the demos?

All our demos are a grip size 3. You are welcome to add another grip or overgrip to the racket whilst you have it.

What happens if the strings break?

We try and ensure all demo rackets are regularly strung, but string breakages are an unavoidable part of racket sports. If the strings break, simply return the racket to us for restringing - you will not be charged for the restring.

What happens if the frame breaks?

Frame breakages are your responsibility unless they are due to a manufacturing fault. In the unlikely situation that the frame breaks, please return it to us. We will return it to the manufacturer for checking. If they do not replace it, we will charge you the cost of a new demo racket..

How do I go about buying a racket?

Simply return the demo(s) back and we will supply you with a brand new racket in the correct grip size. The total price will be reduced by the sum of all the demo fees you have paid.

Can I have my new racket(s) custom strung?

Many of our new rackets come pre-strung but we can string them up to your preference for a reduced cost. If it is factory strung, we charge £5 less than our normal stringing price for a new racket to be custom strung. If you buy two or more rackets, you will receive a free restring that you can use these at any time.
