Holiday Racquet Buying Guide


The holiday season is now! Anyone looking to buy a new tennis racquet may be in luck for some great deals. This short guide will help you get the best value at a lower cost than full retail price.

The first thing to look out for when buying a new racquet is the model and year of the racquet. New lines of racquets are introduced every few years, so in the time before launch of that new model, older models get price cuts. The racquets are more or less the same, which means you can save money just by buying an older model. Be aware that some models may change more drastically than others though. 

You can also find great deals online for Cyber Monday. Check out Tennis Warehouse for their current deals. Wilson Burn racquets are $40 off the normal $200 price tag. You can also spend less on racquets if you intend on purchasing two of the same model. Tennis Warehouse offers a $10 discount for each racquet if you purchase two or more.

Your local tennis store may also have great deals on racquets and you can save money on shipping costs by purchasing in-store. For Black Friday, I purchased a Head Graphene XT Extreme MP A from my local tennis store. I had a warranty certificate of $100 and the racquet was discounted $20. I got away with purchasing a normally $150 racquet for only $30. My store continues their sales through to Mid-December, so you may still have time to take advantage of tennis deals.

Here is a great article on the Tennis Files website that goes over thirteen ways to save, not only on racquets, but other tennis necessities as well, like tennis balls and indoor tennis.

Happy Holidays!
