Frequently asked questions about racket bags

What do the “6 racket” and “12 racket” bag sizes actually mean?

The number refers to how many rackets the bag is designed to hold across its main compartments. In practice players use the space for kit, shoes and accessories too, so a “6 racket” bag is a comfortable club-night size and a “12 racket” bag is a full tournament kit bag. Choose one size up from the number of rackets you actually carry.

What is a thermal racket bag and do I need one?

Thermal bags have an insulated lining that slows temperature swings, helping protect racket frames and string tension from heat and cold — useful if you leave rackets in the car or travel to tournaments. For casual club play a standard lined bag is fine.

What is the difference between a racket bag and a backpack?

Racket bags (holdall style) carry more kit and multiple rackets, often with separate shoe and wet compartments — ideal for tournaments. Backpacks hold one or two rackets plus essentials and are easier to carry day to day, on a bike or commute. Many players own both.

Which brands of racket bag does Central Sports stock?

We carry bags from Yonex, Babolat, Wilson, Head, Victor, Adidas and more, across badminton, tennis, squash and padel, in junior to pro sizes.
