Hold the racket loose and allow gravity to drop the racket. Grip it just enough to keep it from falling at the bottom. Polish the ball, don't smash it. Finish the swing all the way up top. I can hardly wait for more practice. As they say, when you are good, you make it look easy. I can feel an "effortless" victory coming sometime soon.

This club is WONDERFUL…read more The facilities are pristine. The staff professional. The food scrumptious. The tennis teachers are awesome. The members are sweet. The perfect tennis club. Come for the tennis - stay for the entertainment and FUN! If you are a tennis player - and live close to here - this is a fine club. They offer free coffee and have game nights in the bar area - as well as a great pool, jacuzzi and very clean locker rooms. The restaurant and inside decor is so rich and warm. But the most important part to me is the people. The staff and the members. This club is the best. 5 stars for sure.

Echo Park Tennis Courts is one of those rare spots that actually feels like the neighborhood it…read moresits in. Easygoing, unpretentious, and buzzing with life. The crowd is mixed: beginners rallying for the first time, experienced players getting in a workout, and everyone in between. No attitude, just a multicultural melting pot of locals who love being out there hitting. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. Add in some classic LA skyline views peeking through the palm trees, and it's hard not to linger a little longer than planned. And then there's the burrito truck parked across the street. You come for the tennis, but you stay for the atmosphere and probably leave with a burrito.

I call The Racket Doctor 'the old school tennis store.' I've been a customer since I first started…read moreplaying tennis which was when I was a little kid, almost 2 decades. I was referred by my coach to this day, I still come in to get restrung. They do a good job restringing and always put a label with the specs. They are fast and call you normally, within a few days maybe even less to pick-up. Their demo program is good. You can demo 1-2 rackets for a week then switch out. If you need a little more time with the rackets, phone in. They are pretty nice about it if you just communicate. I would rate 5 but the reason I put 4 stars is the "hits" and "misses" when I visit, particularly about the customer service and their general inventory. I've had top-class service from Beau previously, and a woman (I forget her name :( but she classifies herself as a hard hitter, heavy racket, and top spin player ha! She showed me how to determine if a racket is engineered to be power or precision rackets just by feeling and looking. They knew their stuff. The misses were when I came in and was offered help separate times, but I was offered not so great recommendations/ recs that were not what I needed, didn't mention some hint of knowledge that they understand different racket and string specs... average customer service of "yea, look around and see what you like. What you see is what we have" Thumbs down. This goes for the shoe section too. Now with their merch, they carry the popular stuff that sells but you can't get a racket in a particular color, underrated racquets, color shoes etc . No service to have the color/model shipped to the store. Also, I always check the sales section but every single time, I can never find my women's size 6/7 (which I know is the most popular shoe size) but I always see HUGE, multiple inventory of sizes like 10, 12, 14...this goes for shoes and clothing. I've never once bought anything at the sales section in my size, ever. They don't carry fun, stylish, likable colors of shoe models, tennis models..clothing like pleated tennis skirts with pockets, there's no current tennis hat or visor options, sweatbands, eyewear in different colors and styles, no cute bear key charms for tennis bag to promote Racket Doctor which I would proudly carry!...even not much color selection for grips. No patterns, no fun colors. I would be purchasing way more if they were more open and just more fun. Pricing is fair for their services. So they are very reliable for stringing service, and demo'ing, getting your usual Tour Bite strings but don't expect to find something in particular.

This is the place for tennis lessons!…read more LA Tennis has instructors at Griffith Park Riverside and Vermont tennis courts. I take lessons from the director, Brent Pettersson, who runs cool group-clinic classes in the evenings and weekend mornings, plus private lessons. There's a great regular crew of tennis players of all ages in the classes and it has been the best way for me to meet new players. Brent has a fun in-your-face new-york attitude and keeps the classes exciting and fast-paced. I had to work my way into some of the more advanced groups but there are classes for all levels. If you come to class, we all get nicknames, so you will know me as Big Foot. See you there.

They also have a room for cycling and a huge room for various workout classes. Everyone here looks very fit and healthy! The lap pool looked so enticing! I wish I brought my bikini!
