Who We Are
Smash Racket Pro is run by a team of racket sports players competing at club and county level in badminton, tennis and squash. We use what we've learned on court to help you pick equipment that actually suits your game — whether you're just starting out or chasing your next tournament win.
Our Services
Racket Restringing
We've strung over 10,000 rackets, including for players at major tournaments. Standard turnaround is 24 hours, with an on-the-spot ~40 minute express service available if you're in a hurry before a match.

Advice From Players, Not Just Staff
Our team plays badminton, tennis, squash and padel at club and county level. We'd rather spend ten minutes understanding your game than sell you the most expensive frame on the wall.
Racket Demo & Trial Service
Buying a racket blind is a gamble. Try select premium frames in-store before you commit — subject to what's currently available to demo.

Clubs, Universities & Sponsorship
We work with local clubs and university teams on bulk kit orders, printed kit, demo racket programmes, shuttlecock and ball supply deals, and sponsorship packages.
