Stopped by the store as I heard about their demo program, and I was blown away by the quality of service. I went in not knowing which racquets I should try, and the person helping me was SO knowledgeable & it was clear I was in expert hands. Picked up 2 racquets to demo and I think I have a winner! Would 100% recommend!

Quick delivery and well packaged, but when I opened the box, I found a thoughtful, well-written thank-you note. Well, you had me at hello...lol. Very pleased with my first purchase from this company.
