I’m sure there will be deals around. Why not email me with the shop details rather than put on forum. I’ll see if I can compile a list of good retailers around UK.

Guys

I’m not looking at making this a site for shops to get free advertising. After all, they don’t contribute to this site.

I’m more interested in making sure our forum members don’t buy fakes off evilbay. There are plenty of people who have approached me to sell cheap imports and I won’t do it. If you buy an import make sure you can get a refund or replacement if the racquet breaks. Yonex UK will not replace any racquet that hasn’t been purchased from an authorised UK dealer.

I am linked to two Uk retailers. They’ve been mentioned before and at some stage I may consider giving them advertising space. But, there are plenty of retailers out there who need your support, otherwise they will be gone. Virtually none of the online retailers have demo racquets – some local shops do.

I was witness this weekend to a player wanting to borrow Voltric 80 from one of my retailers – then proceeded to telephone them when he got home saying he’d found the racquet cheaper elsewhere. So, he had the nerve to borrow from a retailer who put their hand in their pocket to give players the opportunity to test a racquet, and then pay them back by buying from another retailer. Pretty despicable. This is not good. He’s now been blacklisted by the retailer and won’t be allowed any demo racquets in the future.

So, remember guys that local shops should also be supported.
