Thanks, I just ordered the Fox Experimental. There was only one, so I hope I was in time to get it.

I ordered the same racquet last Friday using PayPal, and didn't notice that it was already sold until afterwards.

As the listing didn't disappear after I finished paying, I went through the ordering process again just to see if I missed something. Only then did I see that there was actually a "0" figure below "in stock" on the order confirmation page; yet the system STILL allowed me to proceed through the order confirmation and payment process!

Of course, I wasn't about to pay twice for the same racquet, so I stopped at the payment confirmation step.

I had a glimmer of hope that I wasn't caught by this rather annoying ordering system trap, that the racquet was in fact available when I went through the process the first time.

Alas, it wasn't to be. I received a robo-mail on Saturday telling me that I had missed out on the racquet, that the item was now on back-order.

I think it's pretty bad that TW would leave a supposedly one-of-a-kind racquet in the system after it's been sold, given that it is unlikely to be restocked. What were they going to do? Keep my payment indefinitely until another example magically shows up in the future?

I will probably ask for a refund of my PayPal payment, unless someone at TW tells me that they have found a few more of these that will be on their way...

I'm going to have to keep my eyes on that section. If a Ceramic Destiny ever comes up, I'd like to get one.

I kind of dig the Head Pyramid tours, but you might have trouble finding grommets for it.

that fox experimental looks the same as the fox target 210 imo

My order status says "Complete" so I think I got it

For all of our awesome customers that ordered Bosworth racquets this weekend,

There was a glitch in the system that allowed people to order the racquets after they had already been sold out. I am so sorry and want to apologize for any confusion. I would like to make it up to you guys by getting more Bosworth racquets up in the next week or two for everyone.

Again, I am so sorry!

Brittany, TW

Just kiddin', y'all!

Attention all customers who ordered the Fox Experimental:

We only had one Fox Experimental racquet in stock. It is sold out and we do not have any more. There was a glitch in the system that allowed people to order the racquet after it was sold. Just wanted to clarify from my previous post, I will be getting up more racquets from the Bosworth collection but not necessarily the exact same racquets. Sometimes like in this case, we only get one of a racquet. Again, sorry for the confusion and hopefully I can get up a different racquet that you are excited to get!

Get more NOS woodies!

daveyboy · 05-29-2012, 07:16 PM

Will there be any more Gottfried Graphite Wood La Grandes? I have been wanting to buy one of those for years, and each time I finally go to buy it they're gone- what are the chances this time through?

Happy Friday,

We have put a couple more Bosworth racquets up for the weekend! Also, I wanted to give you a heads up that we will have a big update in about a week with racquets from Fox, Wimbledon, Spalding, and Yamaha just to name a few. When I post those I will be sure to update this thread!

If I had the money laying around I'd pick up that Fischer VTT in a heartbeat. Alas a trip to Rotterdam wins out...

can´t order the fischer because the website keeps telling me to select a grip size and that option´s not possible. probably because there is only one racket to buy.

Love50 · 06-01-2012, 11:05 AM

I got that earlier too. I suspect that means it has been sold.

TW Staff · 06-01-2012, 11:17 AM

Yes, that racquet is now sold out. I am glad to see that the glitch was fixed!
