The cørt Racket Exchange.

Trade in the racket you have outgrown. Pick up one that has been graded, cleaned and certified. Play on.

In padel, an exchange is a rally — the ball changing hands, over and over. Ours is the racket changing hands. Same idea, better value.

Second serve. Every racket gets another one. Yours goes to a player who wants it, not to the back of a cupboard.
Trade in. Trade up. What your old racket is worth comes straight off the price of your next one.
New to you. Certified by us. Graded, refurbished by an approved partner, and sold with its own cørt record.

How it works

Here is what we mean

One racket, five steps, and it never stops moving.

Step 01
Drop it at your club
Clubs become cørt exchange points. No posting, no meeting a stranger in a car park.
Step 02
cørt grades it
Condition, model, spec. An honest grade and an honest price, published for everyone to see.
Step 03
A partner restores it
Clean, regrip, crack repair. The work goes to approved repair partners in the network.
Step 04
The next player buys it
Listed as certified used on cørt, with its grade and its history attached.
Step 05
You get the credit
When it sells, your share comes back as credit towards the racket you actually want.
and round it goes — your credit buys the next racket, and that one comes back in too
Nothing is bought up front, by anybody. Your racket stays yours until a player buys it. cørt holds the exchange, the grade and the money in the middle, so neither side has to trust a stranger — and nobody is out of pocket waiting for a sale.

Questions and answers

Questions about the Racket Exchange

Trading in the racket you have outgrown, and when it opens.

What is the cørt Racket Exchange?

A way to trade in a racket you have outgrown and put what it is worth straight towards your next one. Rackets come back in through clubs, get graded and restored by approved partners, and are sold on with their own cørt record so the next player knows exactly what they are buying.

Is the Racket Exchange open yet?

Not yet, and the page says so. It is marked coming soon while the club drop off points and the repair partners are put in place.

How will I know what my old racket is worth?

It gets graded on condition, model and spec, and the grade and the price are published openly rather than negotiated in a car park. What it is worth comes off the price of your next racket.

Can my club be a drop off point?

Yes, that is how it is designed to work. Clubs become cørt exchange points so nobody has to post a racket or meet a stranger. Get in touch through the contact page if you run a club.
