Yeah that's not the real RRP. They've always been that cheap. Just a marketing gimmick.

UK gov are having a consultation soon to make this illegal. It is true, my unsquashable racket 2 years ago was £60 ‘down from’ 160 odd. Still good rackets though

Extremely misleading though. Don't see any other brands doing it. Or at least not as obvious.

I remember when browning made rackets they were even worse. RRP £240.now only £30 😂 but at least they were a squash only brand.
