Heading says it all really. Had to return first pair of squash shoes as too narrow for my daft feet, but they refunded quickly with no hassle. Even with the free standard delivery things always arrive... See more

Written by the company

We are PDHSports.com, a family run racket sports specialist based in Derby. PDHSports began trading in 1992 when professional squash player Paul Hargrave set up a restringing business and started selling rackets to supplement his squash playing income. We were one of the first racket sports retailers to sell online. We've come a long way since the nineties with a much more sophisticated online presence and recently moved from Duffield to a new warehouse on the outskirts of Derby. We are proud to be one of the few independent, specialist racket sports retailers based in the UK yet also offering worldwide delivery. As official racket testers for leading brands, we test many products pre-launch and we also try to review as many of the ranges we sell as possible so that we can give informed advice. Our YouTube channel, with new product reviews and coaching tips, has now had over ten million views. We stock all major racket sports brands and also work with emerging brands to offer our customers fantastic choice. We secure exclusive racket deals and offer brilliant Bundles and Multibuys which you won't find anywhere else. We don't just have an online presence. Our busy showroom offers customers the chance to try before you buy and we love meeting our customers face to face! Many travel hundreds of miles in the search for specialist advice. We will soon be adding a demo court to our warehouse in Derby and our showroom will incorporate new technology to allow customers to select the perfect products for their level and style of play.

Top service from Ollie today

Top service from Ollie today. Very knowledgeable about all things Padel. Was able to try some rackets out on their practice court. We are lucky in Derby to have such a fantastic rackets shop, with a great selection of rackets and professional and knowledgeable staff.

Use Babolat Racket received

Got a Babolat Lamborghini racket £60 more than everywhere else so in total £580. Racket came with a dent and scratches. Was told that they dont touch these rackets but I know they have a court where they trial rackets. Then told that they would look to resolve this with Babolat and I should email them with photos of the damage. Email reply says they cant do anything about it. I have had multiple top end rackets from various other companies, no problems whatsoever but this was a shocker especially knowing that this racket is £580. It was hard enough getting a hold of one as they sell out so quick. All I can say is people beware when purchasing and check your item carefully

Expensive Returns

Bought a pair of trainers but size too small, so had to return and get refund ... the process was fine and refund fairly quickly received, so no fault there ... Im giving them a 2 star mearly for the fact that I had to pay £8 , which was the minimum just to return the item and that was the cheapest tracking option with only £75 cover.
The company should really consider cheaper return options for the consumer like Evri . So I wont be purchasing again through PDH unless its something im sure not too return..

Top prices

I could not find better prices anywhere else.

Ordered on 9th June at 12:12pm and expected delivery around 11th June.

Unfortunately due to a backlog of orders, it wasn't sent out on the same day.

Marcus from customer services upgraded the postage and I received the items on 12th (one day delay - not a deal breaker).

Top marks for prices and customer services, but negative point is not to promise same day dispatch on the website unless always true

Today is Thursday 11/6/26

Today is Thursday 11/6/26. Ordered padel racket and balls on Tuesday morning order number PDH317668, for delivery within two working days so latest Thursday with my Padel game late evening. On my Shopify it states expected delivery today (Thursday), but I called PDH and was informed that it was only shipped today and to expect it in 1-2 working days. If I had known this I would have paid extra for next working day delivery. Really disappointed as there has been no communication on the delay until I called and I've been waiting today for the delivery. Really disappointed that I won't have the equipment for my game tonight!

great purchasing advise and service when there was a problem

After some great advice I rang PDH on the best padel racket for me I bought one off them it arrived in good time and was at a very competitive price
Unfortunately there was a fault with the racket, I reported this back to PDH and Sophie in customer services was absolutely fantastic in arranging for a replacement racket to be sent to me direct from the supplier. First class service from Sophie if I could award more than 5 stars and get her a pay rise I would! Let’s hope the new racket lasts longer!

Great custom service

I had an issue with a Wilson padel racket that I had bought where the wrist strap was faulty after only one use.

After getting in touch with PDH Sports, Sophie was very quick to rectify the situation and sent me a replacement racket free of charge.

Would 100% recommend.

Return Policy

I bought my son a squash bag, but it was much smaller than expected. Unfortunately, the return policy is very poor. First, the company has to review whether they will even allow a return. Then, if approved, you must pay for your own return label and cover the postage yourself.

This kind of policy is exactly why Amazon continues to gain traction. I won’t be purchasing from this company again.

I've been a dedicated customer of PDH…

I've been a dedicated customer of PDH Sports for many years, and their consistency is truly remarkable.

The quality of the products has been consistently outstanding over this entire period. Whatever I've purchased, it has always been reliable and met the highest standards of quality.

However, what truly sets PDF Sports apart is their exceptional customer service. The team never treats a query as too much effort and consistently goes above and beyond to provide prompt, friendly, and helpful support. It’s rare to find a company that maintains such a high level of product excellence and dedication to customer care for so long.

I wholeheartedly recommend PDF Sports to anyone looking for great products backed by truly wonderful service.

Wrong order delivered

Ordered mini orange junior balls, the wrong ones were sent. As we needed them urgently I asked if they could send replacement, they wouldn’t until I sent them back by Evri. This meant me taking them to an Evri drop off point! Two weeks later still no replacement, so I emailed to ask where my replacement was and whether they had received the wrong order back as I hadn’t received a confirmation. Then Had an email to say they were stuck in the system and were being sent that day. Customer care and communication was awful, not sure why I should have been made to drive to a drop off products which was their mistake and then not to receive any communication about whether they had received back or not. With this sort of customer care not sure why they are the no.1 supplier!

Aced!

ordered the padel racquets on sunday approx 2pm, they arrived tuesday morning approx 9:10am. I phoned on the monday to express the need for them before 10am on Tuesday and they duly delivered. Luckily they use DHL and not Hermes or Yodel. I bought two PADELIZED AERO-PRO TEAM Padel Racket with an original RRP of £250 each however they had an 80% discount down to £49.99, however because I bought two I got an additional £5 off. Can't fault the quality of the product and the helpfulness of the staff. Highly recommended and would certainly use again.

Excellence and efficiency

I buy my KSwiss defied tennis shoes from PDH. The most recent pair developed a manufacturing fault. PDH handled the situation extremely well, liaising with KSwiss on my behalf. The result was a replacement pair. Their speedy replies to emails and efficiency was excellent. I thoroughly recommend this company.
