Returns & the 30-day play test.

Buy the frame, play it for real, and send it back if it fights your swing. Here is exactly how the play test works and what is covered.

30-day play testNot sure on fit? →

A racket only reveals itself in a real rally. Every frame ships with a 30-day play test: hit it in a session or two, and if the balance or flex does not suit your game, return it for a full refund or a swap — we cover the return label.

Questions

Returns FAQ.

Can I return a racket I asked you to string?

A strung frame can't be resold, so we can only refund unstrung returns. If you want to play-test, add a note at checkout and we ship it unstrung with the grommets untouched.

Who pays return shipping?

We do, on any play-test or defect return within the US. We email a prepaid label as soon as you request the return.

What if my frame arrives damaged?

Photograph the box and frame and email us within 48 hours. We ship a replacement immediately and file the carrier claim ourselves.

Are supplements returnable?

Sealed, unopened tubs and bottles are fully refundable inside 30 days. For safety we can't accept opened supplements.
