Care Guide

Thank you for shopping with Hawkinsport and we want you to be happy with the purchases you have made.

The following information details the best way to look after your purchases, but ALWAYS read the washing instructions in the garment.

CLOTHING

Fabric Conditioner

We advise against the use of fabric conditioner on any of our products.  Fabric conditioner is a rinsing agent and once used it damages the yarns within the fabric causing pilling and misshaping. Fabric conditioner also rinses off any protective coatings such as Teflon, therefore degrading the fabric further. It also contains a bleaching agent, which initially makes the garment appear brighter, but in fact removes colour over time causing fading. 

Tumble Drying

Tumble drying should also be avoided particularly with knitwear, skirts and any sportswear terms with a transfer print.

Knitwear

We recommend that you wash knitwear inside out, avoid fabric conditioner and do not tumble dry. Please do not iron knitwear as this will make it stretch and go shiny.

Skirts, Kilts & Pinafores

These should be hung to dry immediately after washing and should not be tumble-dried.  Skirts have all been through permanent pleat process which sets the pleats - use of fabric conditioner causes the pleats to become less crisp & the heat from the tumble dryer will also remove pleats over time. 

Sportswear

Our performance sportswear dries very quickly without the need to tumble dry. Please avoid tumble drying or ironing anything with a transfer as this can cause the print to peel. Games socks should be air dried rather than tumble dried.

Velcro

Never wash a garment with its Velcro unfastened. The material is abrasive and can cause damage to other items of clothing.

Vinyl print on stretchy fabrics

Due to the stretch of the fabric of many garments, the vinyl is liable to crack and peel off. We are happy to reapply new print to the garment.

OTHER ITEMS -

Book bags, Games Bags & Holdalls should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

PILLING AND BOBBLING

Knitted goods are prone to pilling. The main reason is friction or rubbing against another object and this does not necessarily mean that the garment is faulty or of poor quality. Pilling can be caused by any of the following:-

External friction i.e. movement against another fabric or object; Heat generated by the individual when the garment is worn; Washing the garment at the incorrect temperature and/or with other fabrics that will rub against the garment; Tumble drying the garment at too high a temperature, which causes the heat to draw out the fibre.

Some garments appear to have 'fluffed up' after a short period of wear and this is due to surface fibre from the yarn coming to the surface. The yarn in these cases is slightly hairier than usual and the hairs disappear after a period of wear and washing. This is similar to a carpet, where when first laid, the loose fibres come to the surface and are vacuumed away. If the fibres do not wash away, various devices can be used to remove the excess fibre to enhance the look of the garment. Once the fibre is removed the garment is unlikely to pill again. Check that bags and outerwear do not have any exposed Velcro fastenings which may cause damage to garments worn beneath them.

Our advice: we find that the best solution is to turn garments inside out when washing. When pilling occurs it should settle down after washing a number of times; however, if pilling is excessive, please feel free to return to us for inspection.

Do you love to play hard on the court? Are you looking for a racquet to help you improve your game?

If you're an intermediate to advanced player, the Evo Drive Gen2 is the perfect racquet for improving your game.

This racket was made to provide you with the best possible comfort when hitting the ball and is ideal for players who want to increase the power of their shots while retaining control of the ball.

Its graphite frame and 16/19 string pattern let you achieve just the right combination of power and control.

Exclusive Air Handle Touch technology on the soft handle procures an unmatched feeling of comfort from the moment you pick up the racket.

A modern design and bright colours inspired by the iconic Pure Drive Gen11 make you stand out on the court!

With the comfortable and powerful Evo Drive Gen2, you can't help but have fun on the court.

Benefits:

  • UNMATCHED COMFORT - Air Handle Touch technology on the handle significantly improves the absorption of vibrations, thereby reducing the impact on your joints. This new, softer racket handle provides instant comfort.
  • CONTROLLED POWER - The graphite frame is designed with an elliptical beam for optimum strength. Its optimised 16/19 string pattern promotes the trampoline effect, and its Woofer System improves the interaction between your strings and frame while extending the time that your racquet is in contact with the ball.
  • AIR HANDLE TOUCH - This technology, located in the handle, absorbs shocks and significantly dampens vibrations transmitted to your arm. The result: a softer handle for a uniquely comfortable feel with every stroke!
  • ELLIPTIC FRAME - Elliptical frame structure for optimum strength and overall stiffness for phenomenal power.
  • Woofer System - The first — and most effective — system strengthens the interaction between the frame and the strings. It extends the contact time between the ball and the strings for added control and comfort.

Grip Size Guide:

The most accurate method of determining the correct grip size is to measure the length from the tip of the ring finger to the middle of the palm of the hand (2nd line). This is your hand measurement. Each measurement corresponds to a matched grip size. The corresponding sizes can be found in the table below:

EU Hand size (in mm)
0  100 - 102
1  103 - 105
2  106 - 108  
3 109 - 111 
4  112 - 114
5 115 - 117 

If, for example, the ring finger is 107 mm away from the palm, then a grip size 2 will be ideal.

If you hesitate between two grip sizes, know that it is better to have a grip that is too small than too large. Indeed, a too-small grip can be covered with an overgrip in order to be slightly enlarged.
