Racket World has stood for personal advice, carefully selected racket-sports equipment and professional service since 1990. In our Hamburg specialist shop and through our online store, we help recreational, club and performance players choose rackets, strings, shoes, shuttlecocks, balls and accessories.
Many members of our team actively play badminton and understand the different demands of training, league matches and tournaments. We combine this practical experience with long-term product knowledge, professional stringing and advice based on the player’s actual needs.
Racket World is supported by experienced advisers, active badminton players and dependable colleagues in service, dispatch and administration. Their roles are different, but together they ensure that advice, stringing and order fulfilment are carried out professionally and reliably.
Jörg Wagener is responsible for Racket World’s technical direction. With more than 35 years of experience, he combines personal advice, extensive product knowledge, competitive experience and professional stringing.
Kjell contributes current Bundesliga and competitive experience. His main areas are practical testing of modern high-end rackets and the assessment of performance-oriented stringing setups.
Tjark is one of the most important day-to-day contacts at Racket World. He advises customers in our Hamburg shop and answers telephone questions about rackets, strings, tensions, shoes and accessories.
His broad product knowledge, stringing experience and own playing experience in the Hamburg State League allow him to advise different player types clearly and practically. He also supports customer service, stock processes and dispatch.
Mattis has broad knowledge across the complete badminton range and advises across brands on rackets, shoes, strings, tensions and accessories. As an active Regionalliga player for TSV Trittau, he brings current training and competition experience.
A particular practical focus is VICTOR equipment, which he uses himself and knows from regular play. This allows him to assess VICTOR rackets, shoes and stringing setups in detail without excluding other brands from his advice.
Justin supports customers with badminton rackets and equipment. Another focus is selecting suitable strings and a tension that matches the player.
Steen mainly supports the stringing area. He understands the differences between strings and tensions and helps carry out individual stringing orders.
Nele supports the team with service, order processing and dispatch. She helps ensure that orders are prepared carefully and sent reliably.
Merry supports Racket World in customer service and daily operations. She helps process enquiries and orders reliably.
Barbara Wagener manages Racket World with Jörg Wagener as the second generation of the family business. Her main areas are business organisation, administration and commercial processes.
Juliane supports Racket World with organisational and administrative back-office tasks and contributes to smooth internal processes.
Racket World grew from a passion for badminton and the aim of giving players personal advice and suitable equipment. Over several decades, a small family business developed into a specialist racket-sports shop with an online store, its own stock and a professional stringing service.
When you shop with Racket World today, you benefit from a company history in which personal responsibility, practical playing experience and specialist advice have remained central for more than three decades.
Hannelore and Rolf Wagener establish RW-Sportartikel. Sales, personal advice and service are initially handled from home. With persistence and growing demand, the young company develops steadily.
A growing customer base and expanding range require a move into dedicated business premises, giving advice, sales and service considerably more room.
Barbara and Jörg Wagener take over the family business. Barbara is responsible for commercial and organisational areas, while Jörg develops the technical direction, product selection and customer advice.
In the same year, racket-world.de is launched and the specialist shop is modernised, combining personal local advice with the dispatch of racket-sports equipment.
The move to larger premises creates better opportunities for product selection, stockholding, personal advice and professional stringing.
Racket World moves to Ahrensburger Strasse 105 in Hamburg. The new location provides more warehouse space, a wider product selection, a brighter sales area and additional room for advice, stringing and product presentation.
Today Racket World combines the personal service of a family-run Hamburg specialist shop with an extensive online store and European dispatch.
You can receive advice in the shop, by telephone or by email. Product selection, stringing, order processing and dispatch continue to be handled by our own team.
After more than three decades, personal advice, informed product selection and dependable service remain central. Racket World is now managed by Barbara and Jörg Wagener as the second generation.
You will not receive a generic product recommendation. We consider your playing level, technique, style and budget so that the selected equipment genuinely suits you.
Our range is not built only around brand recognition or price. We select products according to which player types they suit, how they perform in practice and whether quality, price and intended use fit together.
We consider your playing level, technique, style and budget. The aim is not the most expensive product, but equipment that genuinely suits you.
String and tension are selected to suit the racket, your contact point and your preferred playing feel.
Experience from training, leagues and tournaments helps us explain technical data and practical differences clearly.
We also support team equipment, school sport and larger orders. Subject to approval, clubs and public bodies may purchase on account.
Technical data helps to create a shortlist but cannot replace your personal playing feel. Our test racket service allows customers in Germany to try up to three selected badminton rackets in their own sports hall.
Compare handling, balance, shaft feel, control and fatigue. After proper return, the test fee is issued as a voucher towards the purchase of a badminton racket.
Badminton has been our strongest specialist area since the company was founded. We also offer selected products for squash, padel and tennis, together with racket-sports clothing, shoes, bags and accessories.
New products are not added automatically. We assess whether they strengthen the existing range, which players they suit and what practical benefit they provide.
We select packaging according to the size, weight and sensitivity of the ordered products. The priority is that rackets, shoes, shuttlecocks, balls and accessories arrive safely and complete.
Fast dispatch: In-stock products ordered on working days before 11:00 are normally dispatched the same day. Orders including a stringing service are excluded.
