Demo rackets now available

November 22, 2025

If you’re in the Cambridge (UK) area, or can get there, and would like to try out our hand-crafted all-wood rackets, we now have these two demo models available.

They’ve already been borrowed once and received a very positive review.

Of course, the rackets are the ‘Mystique’ and ‘The Masterpiece’. They’re both just made.

Contact us to get the ball rolling.

A new bubblegum-colour grip for kids

October 31, 2025

The styling of our new Junior Slam ‘Graduate Trainer’ is now complete with the addition of a Grays bubblegum-coloured cushion grip.

It’s a perfect grip for this 26” racket, that has been created to be part of young players’ tennis development journeys.

We hope kids will love this very special racket. It’s available now.

Longer grip option is a hit

August 19, 2025

We’ve just sold another racket to a purchaser who’s chosen the longer 7-inch grip. This new grip option, introduced with two-handed players in mind, is proving popular.

Pictured are the three models where this option is offered, with one of our 2019 prototypes that had a 7-inch grip.
