Hiring removes the upfront cost of buying a racket before you know if you will stick with the sport. Club rackets are usually mid-range models suited to beginners.
Hire fees are typically £3–£8 per session. Some clubs bundle hire into beginner packages. Worth mentioning when you book at busy times in case stock runs low.
