Babolat Resale Value Guides

1 guide to what used Babolat is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Babolat is a racket specialist, and its used market is precise about specification. Grip size, head size and the exact model line are stamped or printed on the frame and are what a buyer is matching against.

Which Babolat pieces hold their value

The named performance lines, which players search by name and which have a standing second-hand market
Rackets with the grip size still legible on the butt cap, since that is the specification a player will not compromise on
Frames with no cracks and unworn grommets, which is what makes a racket safe to restring
Matched pairs of the same model and grip size, which serious players buy deliberately

And what pulls the price down

Hairline cracks at the frame, particularly around the grommet holes, which end a racket’s playing life
Worn or missing grommet strips, which cut strings and must be replaced before the racket is usable
Very old frames from discontinued lines, which no longer match anything a player is used to
Rackets sold strung with old, dead string, which the buyer will cut out and replace immediately anyway

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Photograph the butt cap showing the grip size and the frame showing the head size and model
Run a finger around the grommet holes and photograph any cracking, because that is where frames fail
Say whether the racket is strung and roughly when, since a buyer will factor a restring into their offer

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Babolat worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Babolat is a racket specialist, and its used market is precise about specification. Grip size, head size and the exact model line are stamped or printed on the frame and are what a buyer is matching against. Each guide below says which Babolat lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Babolat?

Photograph the butt cap showing the grip size and the frame showing the head size and model. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
