Find the perfect new racquet for your game by using the Tennis Express Demo program. Tennis Express has the largest selection of tennis racquets to choose from. Demoing a new racquet with Tennis Express is so easy. You may demo up to three racquets online for a small fee of $14.99, which includes shipping the demos to you and a pre-paid FEDEX return label to ship the demos back to Tennis Express (Note: All demo racquets in your order will be shipped together. If one of your demo racquets is not in stock, all other racquets in your order will wait to ship out until the final racquet arrives in our store). Our demo racquets are strung with manufacturer recommended string. Learn about our stringing specifications for demo racquets.
Our local Houston customers may take advantage of our online demo service or swing by our store to demo up to four racquets for 3 days for $5 each or a week for $10 each. Get more information on our in-store demo policy here. We do NOT accept Gift Cards, PayPal or Amazon Pay as payment for demo orders. For more information or questions, contact our demo department by phone (713) 435-4816 or email Demos@TennisExpress.com.
We do not ship DEMO Racquets to Alaska, Hawaii, PR, APO, PO Boxes or US Territories.
By using our Tennis Express Demo program, we hope you will find the perfect new racquet for your game. To ensure that all of our customers have a chance to demo our racquets, we have added a few updates to our Program Details and Terms of Use.
These changes will take effect immediately, so please take some time to review them
- Late Fee: If the racquets are shipped back late, you will be charged $2.00 per racquet, per day that it is late.
- Full Charge: You will receive a reminded e-mail prior to the return date. If we are unable to reach you after 7 days of your return date, your credit card will be charged the full retail price for each racquet.
- Discounts: Receive a $25 off coupon towards your first new racquet purchase when you demo (Select models). Coupon included with order.
If you have any questions, please email demos@tennisexpress.com. As always, thank you for choosing Tennis Express. We look forward to helping you improve your game.
How do I get started?
Select 1 - 3 demo racquets from the brands above. Click "Add to Cart" and you will be directed to the checkout page where you may enter your payment information. For any additional questions regarding demos, please call demo department at 713-435-4816.
When will I receive my demos and how long can I keep them?
Tennis Express will ship the demo racquets via FedEx Ground Delivery (Express Option Available). You will receive your demos within 2-5 business days of placing your order. You have one week from the day you receive the demos until you need to return them. For example, if you receive the demos on a Monday, you will need to ship them back the following Monday with the pre-paid label provided in the box.
How do I ship them back?
Put the demos in the original box, affix the enclosed return address label, and drop the box off at one of the thousands of conveniently located manned FedEx locations (Go to FedEx.com to find the location nearest to you.) DO NOT leave the demo racquet box outside an unmanned drop box or with any carrier other than FedEx. If you have any questions, please call our Customer Service department at 713-435-4818 and they will be happy to assist.
**There are no additional fees when you return the racquets, assuming you've returned them on time.
