Racquet Demo Program — Try 3 Racquets for 7 Days
Many players prefer to test a racquet before buying. Start with a free in-shop consultation; take three racquets home for a week.
How it works
Our racquet experts walk you through the options based on your swing speed, skill level, style of play and experience. Then:
- After your free consultation, pay $40 to take three demo racquets home for 7 days.
- Want to try more than three during your week? Swap a racquet in person for a different demo — during your demo period only.
- When the 7 days end and all racquets are returned, choose one of three options:
- Ready to buy: receive a $35 credit toward your new racquet.
- Keep demoing: pay another $40 for a second 7-day period. If you buy after two periods, a single $35 credit applies. Demos are limited to 14 consecutive days (two periods).
- Not buying yet: your demo account closes; the $35 credit stays available on a new racquet purchase for 60 days.
Just want to try one racquet? Pay just $20 for a seven-day demo with a $15 credit toward your new racquet purchase.
Other things to know
- Racquets not returned after 7 days incur a late fee of $8 plus tax per day.
- Racquets not returned after 10 days are charged at full retail — typically $250–305 per racquet.
Get the most out of your demo
Plan specific court time before you pick up demos — account for weather, vacations and court availability. We don’t recommend playing serious matches with demo racquets; the best test is a hitting session with a coach or a more experienced partner, where you can evaluate in a more controlled hitting environment. Can’t decide? Ask your coach or hitting partner for feedback first, then come back for a consultation.
