Stringing Specifications For Your Demo Racquets

Tension

The majority of our demos are originally strung at 55 pounds, however, due to a shortage of inventory, we do have some variances in some of the models. We recommend confirming with a demo specialist before making any purchases.

If you have questions or need any assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us. You can reach our customer service center directly at (713)435-4816, or by email at [email protected]

Each brand promotes their own unique performance strings.
For more details regarding what our demos are strung with, please review the list below.

How to Return

Submit a return request by visiting Return Portal.

1. Log in with your order number and email.
2. If your order has more than one item, select the items that you want to return.
3. Select the item condition and reason for return. Optionally add any comments.
4. Save and continue to return options.

Once your return request is approved, you'll receive an email with a label or QR code for your FedEx return label and shipping instructions. After the product is returned, you receive a refund.

To qualify for a FREE prepaid FedEx Ground return label:

* Your order must be over $50 (before tax and any shipping fees).
* After your return, the value of what you keep must still be over $50 (before tax and any shipping fees).
* Limit 1 free return label per order.
* Valid only for the continental United States.

Example: You place a $75 order and return a $30 item. Your remaining total is $45, which is under $50, so this order does NOT qualify for free return shipping.

If your order does not qualify for free return shipping, you can still use our return portal for a flat $6.95 fee, which will be deducted from your refund. Otherwise, you're responsible for shipping items back to us, so please hold onto your tracking information.

Please note:

* If you use one of our prepaid labels, you may drop the shipment off at any authorized FedEx or USPS Service Station.
* Refunds will be processed within 3-5 business days from the day we receive the return.
* Any original shipping fees are non-refundable.
