🎾 Equipment — It Really Matters!

Using the right gear is key to your progress — no dud balls here! We provide all equipment during coaching sessions, including rackets for those who need one. When you're ready to get your own, we’ve got trusted partners to help you choose right.

🎯 Getting It Right Matters
One common mistake? Using the wrong balls — especially with kids. Yellow balls aren’t suitable for Under-10s or many beginner teens and adults. Need advice on the right balls for your child? Just ask!

Rackets come in all shapes and sizes — length, weight, head size, grip, balance, and more. Your racket should fit your size and playing style, so don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.

🛒 Let’s Go Shopping!
We recommend YC Sports, a family-owned shop on Crwys Road, Cardiff, stocking tennis and padel rackets, balls, shoes, bags, clothing, and more. They offer a Demo Service for premium rackets — try before you buy, and the demo fee is deducted from your purchase.

Prefer online shopping? Check out YC’s sister company, Central Sports Tennis, where you get an extra 5% off with the code TENNISSQUAD at checkout.

Our go-to equipment brand is YONEX, known for top-quality gear and excellent reliability.

🎾 Racket Restringing
Broken a string with all that spin we taught you? Or maybe your strings just need refreshing — strings lose tension over time. YC Sports and many of our partner clubs offer in-house stringing services. Like rackets, getting the right string type and tension matters, so ask us for advice to keep your game sharp.
