Neil, you are so helpful. THANK YOU for all of your guidance! I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to tennis and my daughter needed a new racquet. Neil was so patient and explained all of the different nuances to us. I definitely would recommend this place. read more

The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and at one point they showed a level of generosity that really stood out. It's not something you come across often these days. You can tell this shop truly cares about the local tennis community. They are a real gem in Irvine, and I'll definitely be back to support them. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

Irvine Tennis - They have many interesting accessories! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Irvine, California

Took in a tennis racket for strings unbelievable even though I dropped it off 15 minutes before closing it was done the next day before 10 am. I had read horror stories about pga or big5 leaving marks on the racket from stringing machine but I got mine from them without even a single mark on it. They have any string you can think of available and their prices are extremely reasonable. Super friendly and helpful staff too. Will definitely be back in the future. Also they have a pretty good selection of rackets for demoing and purchase for anyone who is lost about what to get. read more

We know about this place for many years now and we come here for stringing our rackets. All of our family members are playing tennis so we frequent this place at least once a month. Service is always great - they are friendly and helpful. Never pushy about anything and always available to answer questions. Their price is reasonable (for stringing jobs) and their location is perfect for us. We just live 15 minutes away from the store. If you're looking for an affordable, honest, and reliable place for anything tennis, this is the perfect place. read more

Been getting my rackets strung here for a while now and love how fast they get it done. Great service and super friendly :)

Love these guys. They price match any deal you find online. I prefer to buy my family's racquets from here than going thru a big online retailer. I've bought 8+ racquets from here over the past few years. They don't carry alot of inventory in-house. They usually order it from the manufacturer and have it for you within a few days. I've never waited more than a week for a special order. Love the staff and they go out of their way to have your new racquet string and ready to go same day. They've expedited my racquet stringing when I needed them for a tournament. Tip: don't go there during peak hours 4-6pm or Saturday 10-1pm because parking in that plaza is a poop show. read more

So thankful I met a fellow tennis fan named Daniel who referred me to Irvine Tennis store. I'm a former touring pro who use to take my rackets to Mission Tennis with recommendation of my colleague Michael Chang , sadly the store closed before covid and I was then taking my rackets and having my students go to PGA superstore in Irvine . Upon Arrival I loved how the store was fully stocked with everything I needed at Irvine Tennis the selection was super , I took my nephews racket to get strung for the first time and they were so helpful and even returned the left over string. Price was only $25 with my own string which is cheapest I have seen so far . Great group of guys working I'm definitely going to start using this store and bringing my students rackets here for repairs and purchases read more

Great tennis shop with really nice and knowledgeable staff! They don't have a huge selection but they definitely have quality items/brands that the Irvine tennis snobs are seeking. They even have some some pickleball gears, bags and shoes! read more

Came here to string my racquet. They are quick and accommodating. Price was reasonable for service.

I went in just to get some overgrips for my rackets. The large pack of the overgrip I wanted was out of stock and wasn't coming in until next week. I asked the owner if I could just buy a different one and instead of allowing me to pay him for that one, he gave me two of the overgrips that I wanted from his extra supplies for free because he didn't want me to buy a product that I would be unhappy with. Excellent customer service and I look forward to coming back. Fabulous little shop with a fantastic owner who very obviously cares about his customers. read more

A New Generation of Tennis Overall Rating: 5 Stars Experience No one does it like Irvine Tennis. Tennis stores generally overcharges compared to online/vendor prices (Shoes, Racquets, Grips, & other gear), but when I came here I experienced quite the opposite. After 10 years I decided to pick up my racquet recently & was able to get it restrung literally in less than 20 minutes for a pretty reasonable price(string included). The owner even gave me a small discount on shoes & everyone there seemed to really genuinely love tennis as well, such great vibes, & an employee even helped me learn a lot about how to choose racquets! The prices are pretty reasonable, the service is amazing, & the people are definitely a reason I'll be coming back! read more

Came to change out my wraps on my racket and this store was the only one open and I'm happy we stumbled upon them. The owner was really helpful in getting my rackets wrapped, helping me decide on different rackets, and overall felt satisfied walking out. Definitely will come back. read more

The best! And a friendly staff!! And very knowledgeable!!! Especially Kurt!!!! Charlie read more

Small tennis shop in Jeffrey/Walnut plaza (99 ranch side) that was recommended by my daughters tennis coach. They sell tennis gear: everything from shoes, to balls, rackets, wraps, as well as offer services like restringing rackets. We came here to restring my daughter's racket. The staff was excellent. They asked my daughter if she wanted the white or rainbow colored strings with a big smile on their face. Of course she wanted the rainbow, so she loved that they had the option. The racket was done exactly when they said it would be finished, and was restrung perfectly. Highly recommend this tennis shop. read more

Fantastic service and attention by Scott. Went in for a new racquet and asked for some counsel as I'm a newbie. He walked me through a few bits on which is a great option for me as well as my wife. They strung the frames up and we went to place tennis right after. 10 outta 10. Good vibes and great to see a store like this here in the OC! read more

Always fast service for stringing at a good price! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.

I've been coming to Irvine Tennis for over 15 years, usually for my son's racquets and restringing. Yesterday I went in to buy a racquet for me...after a 20 year hiatus, I'm back in the court Kirk was super helpful in showing me my options , then volunteered to string my racquet while I waited so I didn't have to come back. It took less than 20 minutes, and he threw in a shock absorber and some new tape for whenever my white handle gets dirty. I couldn't have asked for a better shopping experience !! read more

I needed to regrip three of my rackets. Neil was awesome and helped me pick a grip. I walked in a 4:35 pm. They close at 5:00 pm. I walked out at 4:47 pm. It's the Jimmy John's of tennis in Irvine. I paid $30 total. The service was included with the purchase of the grips. They even threw in a shock absorber for free. Will not look anywhere else for my tennis needs. read more

Totally awesome shop and customer service. Friendly, efficient, not pushy and totally fair with their prices. Put new grip on my existing rackets and bought and strung up a brand new racket from them. All done in about an hour and 15 mins. They're knowledgeable and trustworthy. Thanks guys! read more

I always feel i'm being taking care of here. Great small business i like to support. Thank you read more

This is the best community tennis shop in the world. I've been coming here for years for racquets, strings, shoes, etc. The staff is always so courteous and knowledgeable. They will give you the best deals possible, better than anything on the web. I recently bought a racquet for my young middle school daughter. I got a racquet with the smallest grip at the store. It turned out to be too big for her little hand. I brought the racquet back and asked what were my options as she had already played with the racquet. After reviewing some solutions, the owner eventually said he would take back the racquet and special order a new racquet with a smaller grip. For free! I was blown away. The generosity and understanding my predicament and taking the loss on the racquet overwhelmed me. I can't see places like Tennis Warehouse doing this for you. This is the place to go if you live anywhere close to here. read more

Service was great. They recommended some strings and tension for both of my racquets (haven't restrung them in 2 years... oops haha). Turned out great. They have some other items too. I bought 2 grips while there as well. Very knowledgeable. Life- long tennis players working there to help you out. read more

Excellent customer service and great staff as well as selection of tennis products. I came in to get shoes and tennis balls and they were so helpful and made the process easy! read more

This is my go to tennis shop in orange county. They have shoes, string, rackets and on site racket stringing. They have a nice paddle ball selection of equipment as well. Check them out! read more

Came here in a pinch needing my racket to be strung. Called on a Saturday morning and asked if they could have it done by tomorrow since it was my only racket. He fit me in the schedule and had my racket done within the day and at a reasonable price. Also played super well the next day.... Must have been the strings read more

Those guys know what they are doing. Very fast, good quality work, and very friendly. And they have digital stringers in store!!!

This place is amazing! They are professional, kind, fast. What can you expect more? No more tennisexpress, pga super store, you just waste your time. Thanks again for everything read more

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Kurt takes the time to listen and helps you make good buying decisions. My son, who moved to Scottsdale still buys from them. They make it easy to support the local shop! Thank you Irvine tennis! read more

Affordable and authentic. I'm all for supporting local, small brick and mortar businesses. I have recently picked back up tennis after a 15 years hiatus and decided to restring my old Babolat racket to rally with some friends. Stopped into Irvine Tennis this past week and was greeted by Kirk and the team. Kirk was very helpful and assertive and told me my racket would be ready the next day for $20 -- very affordable. I came back the next day to pick it up and ended up buying some cans and a small tennis duffle bag. Thanks! read more

The reviews are real! After reading all the positive reviews, I visited Irvine Tennis to buy a new (more advanced) racket. He was very nice and helpful when asking several questions on how to pick a racket. He asked me about what I currently use, I ran to my car and showed him what I have (which is inexpensive one I bought from Dick's or Big5). After examining, he put new grip on it without me even asking. You can say it doesn't cost much to put new grip tape, but that's a nice gesture especially when he was busy stringing, receiving calls, etc (and I visited during lunch time). I need to finalize on which racket to get, and, once decided, I'll get one from this place for sure. The most important thing is its price is lower than what I searched online! Edit: It seems my review is the 100th review! Yay!! read more

They are the best for restringing, and I'm satisfied with their service. Their equipment and variety of selections are limited compared to online retails. I understand online retails give you a wider variety because of the low inventory cost. Local businesses deserve more support to stay alive, so online is not always my choice. They are certain things that local retail has an edge compared to online retail, such as : 1. Providing demo option for tennis rackets 2. Providing on-demand services ( pick and drop) for restringing, etc. That being said, I would suggest Irvine tennis add those services to their offering to compete with online retailers by levering their local store. I asked for a demo option. They had minimal options. They didn't have a demo option for the particular Wilson racket I was interested in. They don't have any pickup and drop-off services for restringing That being said, I give them four stars because they are the best local Tenis store in the area, but there are some gaps in terms of pick-up and drop off services and demo options. read more

I love supporting mom and pop shops but only when it's legitimately an honest, look-out-for-the-consumer type of business. And that's precisely what this place is. The owner (Kirk) is a sweet, unpretentious guy who is really knowledgeable about tennis rackets and is there to help the public increase their enjoyment of the sport. One of the first few times I was in there, I wanted to try the Wilson Blade before purchasing it. Kirk wrote down my name and number and gave me the racket to try. There's something so "neighborly" about this place. The owner just operates like he trusts everyone who comes through the door and that's not something you see in this day and age. The Wilson Blade 98 was a bit heavy for me and I returned it after sufficiently trying it out for over a week or so. When I returned it, Kirk suggested the Blade 100L. He didn't have a demo of it but didn't hesitate taking a new 100L off the shelf and turning it into a demo so I could try it before I commit. How did he know I'm such a commitment-phobe? He's knowledgeable AND a mind-reader. I ended up buying my Blade 100L eventually and I will definitely do all my future tennis-related purchases here. Love this mom and pop shop that's honest and eager to help the community by fostering a love of the sport. GO HERE! read more

Seamless experience and affordable pricing. Great staff and free/plentiful parking. I got my racquet restrung and regripped and it was ready in less than 24 hours. Would definitely come back! read more

Went in for restringing and the service was fast and efficient. The store is nice and clean. I saw some review tips that said to park to the right and back when the main lot seems full and they were right! I will be back! read more
