The manufacture of high quality wooden racquets has been at the heart of the Grays business throughout its 170 year history.
The Cambridge company grew rapidly and became well known at the University for the manufacture of top quality frames for all racquets sports. With the demise of Bancrofts in the USA, Grays became the sole manufacturer of Real Tennis and Rackets racquets for many years. Now relocated to the former saw mill in Coton near Cambridge.
Grays worked extensively with the then World Champion Howard Angus to completely re-design the Real tennis frame for the first time in years in 1980. Subsequent developments included the introduction of club designs and the Extra Tec in the 1990s the latter became firmly established as the gold standard in Real Tennis. Now in the hands of the 5th generation of the Gray family, the factory continues to hand-craft wooden frames for sale to today’s Real Tennis professionals and clubs in its former sawmill at Coton, Cambridge.
