Product Return Policy

If the product you ordered does not satisfy you (e.g. the shoe or clothing size you ordered does not fit), you may return it together with the retail receipt or invoice that accompanied it within 14 days from the date of receipt, packed inside its original packaging, without having removed or torn off the tags, and we will replace it*. If the same or a similar product of your preference is not available, e-tennis will refund the value of your product. The shipping cost to our store is borne by the customer (alternatively, by paying €5 we can arrange the shipment via Geniki Taxydromiki for both the returned product and the new replacement product).

Product exchanges can also be made at the e-tennis store in Thessaloniki, 99 Nikolaou Plastira, from 10:00 – 20:00 daily except Saturday. (The return of online orders can no longer be carried out at the Athens stores).

If the product you received is defective and has not been opened from its packaging (e.g. visible damage occurred during transport), you must inform us within 60 days by email at sales@s4pragnesh.etennisdev.eu, or by phone at 2311205080 so that we can replace it at our own shipping expense (after you first send us the defective product). If we receive the product and no visible defect is found, the product will be returned to the customer, who will be charged the shipping costs both from their address to our store and from our store back to them. After the 60-day period has passed, no replacement will be made and/or the customer is not entitled to any compensation.

If the product you purchased has been opened and used, but you believe it was defective from the beginning (e.g. your racket cracked after 5–6 training sessions and there are no visible signs of wear, or there are minor marks/small impacts on the frame that you believe do not justify its damage such as cracking or breaking), then contact us by email at sales@s4pragnesh.etennisdev.eu, or by phone at 2311 205080 (Mon–Fri 10:00 – 18:00). Your racket will be sent to the official distributor who will determine whether the product was defective or not. In the first case, our company will replace the product free of charge or, if it is no longer available, may deduct its value from another product you wish to purchase. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO A REFUND FOR RETURNED USED PRODUCTS. However, if the distributor determines that the damage was caused by improper use, you are not entitled to a replacement and you will be charged the shipping cost if you wish us to send it back to you.
The above procedure applies to all products (except padel rackets) that are up to 6 months from their purchase date. Specifically for padel rackets, distributors do not accept rackets for quality inspection once 3 months have passed from the date of purchase, regardless of how many times the customer states they have played with them.

* If there is sealed packaging that has been opened (e.g. you opened a can of balls), the product CANNOT be returned. Shoes must not have been worn outdoors and their box must be in excellent condition. Specifically for returning a new racket, the special nylon on the handle must remain intact and the racket must not have been used at all (there must be no minor wear marks on its frame and no ball felt residue on its strings).

Which Tennis Racket Should I Choose?

If you want to choose the right tennis racket, it is important to understand what its technical specifications actually mean in practice. Below we explain in simple terms the key elements that affect performance, control and the overall feel of the racket during play.

What Do the Specifications of a Tennis Racket Mean?

Weight

Light rackets (260–280 gr): very easy to handle, ideal for beginners, women and juniors transitioning to a full-size racket or players who want an easier swing.

Medium weight (280–300 gr): balance between power and control. Suitable for intermediate to fairly advanced players who want more stability without losing maneuverability.

Heavy rackets (>300 gr): provide greater stability and power but require good technique and physical condition. Preferred by advanced and competitive players.

Head Size

The head size determines the balance between control and power.

Small Head (95–98 sq.in.): smaller sweet spot but maximum control and precision. Usually preferred by advanced players.

Mid Head (99–102 sq.in.): the most popular category. Offers a balance between power and control and suits most players.

Oversize Head (103–115 sq.in.): larger sweet spot and more power. Ideal for beginners or players who want more forgiveness on off-center hits.

Balance

Head-light: the weight is closer to the handle. These rackets offer better maneuverability and faster reactions, ideal for players who play close to the net or want more agility.

Even Balance: uniform weight distribution. The center of balance is exactly in the middle of the racket, offering a balance between power, control and stability.

Head-heavy: more weight toward the head of the racket, providing additional power with less effort.

String Pattern

Open pattern (most common 16x19): provides more spin and power.

Dense pattern (most common 18x20): offers more control, precision and feel but less spin.

Other combinations such as 16x18, 16x20 or 18x19 also exist, offering different balances between spin, power and control.

Frame Stiffness

Frame stiffness affects feel and vibration absorption.

Soft frame: provides more stability and power on strong shots.

Stiff frame: offers better feel and comfort with better vibration absorption. Often recommended for players with tennis elbow.
