Try Before You Buy
At Herne Hill Sports, we understand that choosing a new tennis racket can be tricky. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just a beginner, choosing a new racket is a very personal decision and not one to take lightly! There are loads of rackets to choose from with many different characteristics to consider – which many people understandably find daunting! But don’t fear, because we offer a racket demo service! This works exactly like it sounds and allows you to try out any of our Tour frames from Wilson, Head, Babolat and Yonex for up to a week, making the service a great option for tennis players based all over London. What makes this service so uniquely useful is that it allows you to truly see and feel the difference that exists within the different racket families. The service is remarkably simple and works as follows:
Each Demo Racket costs £10.
You can take up to 3 at a time.
You can have the rackets for up to a week at a time.
Once you decide which racket you like, any money you have spent on the demo scheme will come off the price of your chosen frame.
We now offer a limited Padel demo racket service! For information regarding which rackets we have available give us a call or use the ‘Contact Us’ tab!
