I rely on City Racquet Shop for all my tennis needs. They have an excellent selection of racquets, string, shoes, and accessories, and the prices are very fair. Plus, you get expert advice, personalized recommendations, and friendly and prompt service. I’ve had my racquets re-strung there for the last several years and the quality of the work has always been first-rate. If you are looking for a racquet, their demo program really gives you the time to try out a variety of models, and the program fee will be credited to the cost of the new racquet you choose or to other purchases from the shop. So you really can't lose! They even have a customer rewards program. Parking is easy, and you can feel good about supporting a great local business that contributes a lot to the SF & Bay Area tennis community. Thank you, Bryan and Dan.

Got my tennis grip and strings replaced here. Daniel is super helpful and friendly, got advice for what kind of grip and strings to get. The shop is small and charming, and the whole experience was quick and easy.

One of my tennis friends recommended City Racquet Shop for their racquet demo program, and I'm glad they did. Dan was a phenomenal help figuring out what racquet would be right for me. We tried different stiffnesses, weight distributions, string tension and even handle size (I thought I was a 3!) before I finally found a racquet that I truly loved and committed to.
Today was my first day playing with the new racquet and it feels just right. I'm beyond thrilled to have found City Racquet Shop and would highly recommend for anyone else looking to take the plunge on proper equipment.

Found Daniel and City Rackets from a personal recommendation and certainly not been disappointed. From a super friendly greeting when I first walked in to a quick and professional re-string of my racket. Great to find such a lovely 'real' tennis shop run by someone who is as happy to talk to a beginner as to a serious tennis player. Thank you

The crew at City Racquet Shop are fun and knowledgeable. They’ve got a great selection, and a demo program. They also give back. Bryan gives time to local community-based tennis organizations helping to organize events and instruct new players. I’m grateful to have City Racquet Shop in the city!

I stopped in to get a new racket strung and needed advice about the right types of strings for my level and style. Dan was super welcoming from the moment I stepped into the shop and helped me with a decision as we talked through options. The turnaround was fast (less than a day) and I was enjoying the new racket (and the strings!) the next day. Great experience!

Visited this shop for the first time last week and was super impressed. First of all, Bryan and his friendly helper were awesome and made me feel super welcome. Bryan really listened to me, didn't judge me being all over the place in terms of what I was looking for, and ultimately suggested the Demo program which makes perfect sense for someone like me who has not picked up a racquet in a decade, so I get to try out a different racquet every week for a few months. He also re-strung my old racquet in a few days time, and proceeded to set me up with a group skills session he runs over the weekend, which I sorely need (emphasis on sore)! All of this within 5 days of meeting him! So glad to have finally wandered in as it's not far from my neighborhood, and also happens to be a short walk to Balboa Park, just down the street on San Jose, which has tennis courts. On top of all that, huge selection of racquets, and he also sells a variety of accessories and shoes. This is now going to be my go-to place for tennis supplies. Thanks Bryan!

My wife and I had a fantastic shopping experience at City Racquet, largely thanks to Bryan's exceptional customer service and his extensive knowledge of tennis frames. We participated in the demo program, and whenever we found ourselves uncertain about which racquet to try next, Bryan expertly guided us through our options. He demonstrated patience and was incredibly generous with his time. Ultimately, I chose a frame I initially hadn't considered, but on Bryan's recommendation, it proved to be the perfect match for me. It's always a pleasure to purchase gear from enthusiasts who not only know their products inside out but also offer an excellent selection. I highly recommend this store!

First time visit City Racquet Shop after looking through all the reviews. Bryan provided a very personal service to help assess which is the right racquet and string for me after asking a few simple questions. Got my tennis racquet and court shoes there. A very happy customer.

I am a local tennis player and really like to have a local shop to go to. My string doesn't break that much, so I used City Racquet for only a few time. But each time I feel the service is great! It has guts string also, if you like that.

This is a great shop to get your tennis gear! Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and works with customers to get exactly what they need. I participated in the racquet demo program, which allowed me to demo (at least) 8 racquets over the last few months. It was great to get a feel for different racquet types, and I will be purchasing my favorite racquet! Will definitely continue to come to this shop.
