For the backyard
Most backyard games stall on gear: two rackets and four people, or one ball and a parent who wants to join in. The Senston sets fix that before the first serve.
Read how to set up a court and a table at home in our badminton and ping pong guide.




Basketball
The Senston outdoor ball comes in a 27.5 inch size 5 for young kids, a 28.5 inch size 6 and a 29.5 inch size 7, with a pump in the box. Rubber covers take concrete, and a foam size 5 keeps dribbling quiet indoors.
All 8 basketballs




Tennis
A racket that is too long makes every swing late. Senston junior rackets run 17, 19, 23, 25 inches, each with a cover, an overgrip and a dampener, and the 27-inch adult racket is there when they grow into it.

Customers say
From the driveway to the beach: buyers on Senston balls, rackets and grips, the good and the less good.
“Good grip. Felt nice and looks nice on badminton racket. Easily covered entire handle of badminton racket…”
“It’s disappointing that its too short otherwise i was happy at the easy of installing and a good hold”
“Light weight, good quality but frames came slightly deformed as cam be seen in pictures. Both racquets are not identical”
“I like Senston Badminton Racket for 2 things, 1st its very light weight & 2nd they last for very long …”
“Racquets are pretty light weight, good for beginners. The shuttlecocks are plastic and tend to miss form. Not sure how long these will last.”
“Great starter set. My kids love them. The only issue was the tape started coming off one of the handles within the first 20 minutes.”
“Great ball but NO needle included in the box with the pump. Kind of hard to pump up a bal without a needle!”
“Very pretty ball. Seems like good quality and easy to inflate. My son says it’s nice to handle, kicks well etc. Certainly worth the money…”
“…Have had to replace the grip though. Otherwise, good quality, good power. Overall good purchase!”

About Senston
Senston is the gear you reach for when someone says “let’s play”: a basketball for the driveway hoop, a badminton set for the lawn, paddles for the basement table, a soccer ball for practice. Our brand store sums it up in four words, “Create happiness with exercise”. It is a fair way to judge any ball or racket: is it easy to start, and will a kid and a parent both enjoy it?
Today our range covers 75 products across 9 departments, from size 3 soccer balls to 27-inch adult tennis rackets. Buyers have left 39,978 ratings on them so far.

Our outdoor basketballs use a rubber cover over nylon windings and a butyl bladder, so they hold their shape and their air on concrete. The PU leather ball is softer in the hand and better on smooth courts. Soccer balls have a PVC skin, and the classic one adds a layer of foamed EVA for a softer touch. The beach volleyballs wear synthetic leather over a butyl bladder.
18 of our balls and ball sets come with a pump in the box. They ship flat, so the first job is to inflate them, and the pump is right there when you do.

Senston started with grips: our perforated overgrip with a keel has been on sale since December 2015 and is still the second most-rated product in the range. Badminton is now the deepest part of it. The backyard set for four uses carbon fiber rackets at about 90 grams each, and the N80 and the 76-gram 5U racket go lighter for players who play every week. Junior badminton rackets are 58 cm long, so smaller players can swing them.
Our tennis rackets are aluminum. Kids rackets come in 17, 19, 23 and 25 inches, and the adult racket is 27 inches with a size 2 grip. Ping pong paddles run from 5-ply wood with 2 mm sponge to 7-ply and a carbon option for faster play.
Senston gear is built for recreation, practice and family play. If you play in a league that names an official game ball, or you string your own rackets for tournaments, you will want specialist equipment. For everything in the Senston lineup we name who it suits and who should look elsewhere.
If you are not sure where to start, our size guide matches balls and rackets to ages, and the Senston story tells how the range grew.
