Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your rackets cost?
Prices for our hand-crafted strung rackets begin at GBP£217 / USD$288. That’s for ‘The Masterpiece’ strung with Prince Original Synthetic Gut.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship world-wide! Since launching in 2019 we have shipped to 17 countries.
Can I buy your rackets within the United States?
We don’t have a distributor within the US. Rackets, strung and unstrung, are usually shipped from England, including to every part of the US.
Can I buy a frame only?
Yes, of course!
How long do your rackets take to make?
Depending on the schedules of our factory and stringer, a racket usually takes 4-5 weeks to make and string.
What are the differences between the models?
The differences are mainly cosmetic. As well, the ‘Mystique’ has a significantly longer grip – 9.5 inches. However, each batch of timbers is unique, making each frame unique.
What if a string breaks?
You may have a local stringer who can string wooden rackets. Alternatively, our stringer Paul Skipp may know of a suitable stringer in your area. As a last resort, rackets can be returned to Paul who will re-string and ship back to you.
Will my racket really be strung by the Wimbledon Head Stringer?
Yes, and you will see and feel the quality of Paul Skipp’s stringing.
Is Grays really the world’s oldest racket-maker?
Yes, it is. H.J. Gray & Sons was already making rackets for other racket games when “Lawn Tennis” was launched in 1874, and began making rackets for the new game within a short time. None of the other racket makers of that time, such as Jefferies and Malings, survive today.
