We are tennisnuts.com (formerly A.M.T Sports) , specialists in racket sports and stringing , trading for 25 years.
The company was originally started by Ajay Thaker and Manish Thaker, originally in a small store in Northwood Hills.
The mail order brochure (tennis, badminton and squash) was introduced in 1997. Both are directors of the company (AMT SPORTS LTD).
Playing Pedigree
Both the directors have a fairly impressive playing and participating pedigree in Badminton, Tennis and Squash. Both played badminton for Middlesex juniors at the old Orion Hall
in North London, followed by extensive careers in a number of clubs and leagues in the Middlesex area. The level for a number of years
was Middlesex Div 1 plus a few good tournament results ie just below top county level. As the dodgy knees started kicking in....tennis
started taking priority over badminton at a number of clubs, mainly South Hampstead and Eastcote (at premier or intermediate level)
and keeping fit with squash at the Herga Club.
Ajay (based at Watford) now plays badminton and tennis at the Riverside club in Northwood and Manish (based at Northwood)
plays tennis at Hazelwood LTC, the David Lloyd club in Bushey and badminton with YLA in Bushey.
All those years of accumulated knowledge and experiance in this specialist business which now consists of a flagship store in Northwood Hills, a mail order brochure and of course,
the website. We are one of the biggest specialist racket businesses in the UK.

WAREHOUSING AND FULFILMENT
We have recently quadrupled our storage and warehousing capacity by moving to a new purpose built facility in Watford, AND keeping the existing facility behind our store in
Northwood Hills. We have thousands of satisfied customers all over the UK who have succesfully ordered through our mail order service for a number of years and are now happily ordering on-line from us.
How many times do you read on websites 'The biggest in Europe'...well, in our case this is certainly true for the range of clothing, equipment and shoes that we offer.
We certainly offer the largest ranges of Nike, Adidas, Yonex, Fila, Fred Perry, Wilson and Lacoste clothing for tennis, badminton and squash. We try not to 'cherry pick' by stocking just a few popular rackets, but try and provide a complete specialist service.
We charge the same prices in the shops and for mail order and the Internet. We also have hundreds of regular special offers and some of the lowest, most competitive prices in the U.K.
Because we are an integrated business, we actually stock all the items we offer. We also try and keep the website updated with all sizes that are in stock (or not), but at certain times of the year, there can be a time lag, in which case we will offer an alternative, or inform you of non availability and NOT charge your credit card.
You can always check with any of the manufacturers that we are an authorised dealer...beware websites that offer silly prices for current stock...they will not have the stock and will keep you hanging for weeks. Also beware fakes, of which there are some good ones around at present!
