A BRIEF HISTORY
Playing Pedigree
The company was originally started by Ajay Thaker and Manish Thaker. Both are directors of the company (AMT SPORTS LTD) and have a fairly good playing and participating pedigree in Badminton, Tennis and Squash. Both played badminton for Middlesex juniors, followed by extensive careers in a number of clubs and leagues in the Middlesex area. The level for a number of years was Middlesex Division 1 plus a few good tournament results, i.e. 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 Hera Club.
Ajay (based at Amersham) now plays badminton and tennis at the Riverside club in Northwood and Manish (based at Northwood) plays tennis at Hazelwood LTC & badminton at the Riverside Club in Northwood. All those years of accumulated knowledge and experience in this specialist business which now consists of a flagship store in Northwood Hills. a mail order brochure and of course, the website. Both Ajay and Manish are obsessed with padel and pickleball and in doing so we are the biggest specialist racket businesses in the UK

Warehousing and Fulfillment
- We have expanded our capacity, moving to a very modern 10,000 sq ft facility in Amersham.
- 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 for all the racket sports. We try not to 'cherry-pick' by stocking just a few popular rackets, but try to 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 UK.
Knowledgeable Staff
- All our staff are from a sporting or retail background, are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and are only too happy to give you any advice you may need. You can phone customer services or the store at any time to either check stock or get advice.
- For tennis and badminton, we can advise on everything from 'power' rackets to 'control' rackets, racket flexes and stringing tensions.
- For Padel we can advise on different playing styles, weight, stiffness, shapes and balance at a variety of different budgets.
- For Pickleball we can advise on different lengths, widths, shapes, handle lengths and how each of these variables impact playing style for a number of different abilities and budgets.
- We try out the majority of rackets that we sell, so we can give first-hand opinions on them.
- We have rackets to suit every playing style and budget.
- We also use the feedback from our 'associated coaches', who regularly try out various rackets and give us feedback in the form of website reviews and lately, social content.
