After our strings broke on a Saturday around 430pm, we called Cupertino Sports Center (the front desk transferred us to the Tennis Shop and no one picked up) and Racket Supply (the lady quoted us a 3 day turnaround to pick it up on Tuesday). Called Quick Racket Restringing around 445pm and he said that he closes at 6pm, but if we get there at 5pm and pay express (+$2) he can do the job in 1 hour! It would be $13 labor + $7 strings + $2 express = yes please! He closes on Sundays and Mondays too, so we caught him just in time. The sign of the store says Sunrise Pure Water, and it's tiny inside. He asks what strings you want and your desired tension. Thank goodness we had cash, since this place is cash only. So happy with the super fast turnaround! read more

Extremely satisfied with the stringing job here. I used to get my racquets strung at a Mountain View store that charges twice the amount and wasn't happy with the last job they did. The prices here are very reasonable ($16) and the 4 hr turnaround time is excellent. Cash only. $1 extra for hybrid stringing. read more

I'm a born again noob (newbie) to tennis. I used to play in HS and decided to pick it up again and hone my skills to battle hedonic adaptation. I was looking into getting my old rackets restrung since I came to the sad realization that I haven't restrung my rackets in 8 years and I have been hitting very flat returns this whole time I've been playing/taking weekly classes for the last 2-3 months! This noob didn't know better until a random epiphany happened during a shower. Anyway, I looked online and found this place. I like the fact that it's in a rando location and in a water shop. The concept is like a speakeasy, but not really. There was no password to get in and it's in the back of a water shop. LOL. I got there at 10am on a Saturday and walked into the shop. The owner was nice and told me his prices. There was a slight language barrier, but he showed me the strings he had. I asked for the cheapest ones since I'm no Federer or Nadal, so he chose what looks like the prince syngut duraflex for me, since it's an all-rounder string that gets the job done. I think prices have gone up for the strings because I have read reviews for early this year quoting $7 for strings, but it's okay. $27 to have new strings and restrung by someone who knows what he's doing is worth it! I originally wanted my tension to be 60 lbs, but he recommended 57 lbs given the strings' durability, so I accepted his recommendation. It was $27 total for each racket and I had two so it was $54 total. CASH ONLY. I paid up front since I was prepared and he asked when I would like to pick them up so I told him before the end of the day and he told me to come back after 3pm. I was there at 3:15pm and my rackets were ready. I played with them last week and I do feel the balls now when I pound them across the courts, so I'm sold despite the slight language barrier. I plan to return if/when I buy a new racket (another Prince of course!) and want certain (flashy) strings to go with it. read more

$22 to restring with 17g Prince Synthetic Gut. $7 for the string. $15 for express (1 hour) $13 for standard (4 hour) read more

Quick Racket Restringing - Strung racquet - Tennis Near Me - San Jose, California

Hitting your tennis serves too long? Missing bounce overheads going beyond the baseline? Punch half volleys going too deep? Time for new racquet strings! Joined Sunnyvale Tennis Club in 1981, probably before you were born, and had my Prince Thundersticks and Prince Triple Threat RIP 110 strung at Las Palmas for the next two decades. It was pretty much touch and go, with the string tension not consistent from job to job, depending on who was doing it, and the cost upwards to $40. Fast forward to a new century.  Through word of mouth I heard of Sang Kim's Quick Racket Restringing Service at 439 South Kiely Blvd.  Now, once every three months I bring in my racket to be restrung with Prince Blend 16 gauge strings at 63 lbs pressure for my Prince EXO Silver 110 racket.   I hit most of my ground strokes flat in doubles, with a backhand slice, and so don't wear out or break my strings like top spinners.  After 3 months I've lost about 5  lbs of tension and start hitting routine shots long, and hitting first serves too long -time for restringing!   I call up Sang at 408-655-0156 after work on a weekday, and ask him if he has my string in stock, and if so, if he can get it done in half an hour.  If so, down I come from Mountain View, on 85 south and then 280 south, exiting at Saratoga, and making a left turn onto Saratoga, and then a right turn onto Kiely into the strip mall at the corner.   Sang is in the Pure Water store, with hours Tuesday-Saturday 9am-7pm (closes 6pm Sat) .  Standard price is $12 for restringing with a 4 hour turnaround time. But that's for weekend players who still play with the junky cheap racquet strings that came with the original racquet, and only bring in the racquets when they mishit and break a string on very top or very bottom of the string pattern, or totally wear down the strings through continual topspin shots. The Club players come here and pay top prices for top quality strings. Sang charges me $25 for my restringing, as it requires two different sets of string, one for horizontal, and one for vertical, and is on the newer racquet designs, with air vents in the frame.  It would cost $40+ at Las Palmas or Cuesta.  On a weekday, I came in at 1025pm, and he was done by 11am.  Extra $2 for a rush job. Cash only.     The store also has some ancient rackets, like the Prince Warrior from the previous century, hanging on the wall for sale, but I only use this place for restringing. He's also open on Saturdays, but is hopeless swamped with tennis string jobs. Light 9 ounce racquets strung at high tension not for tennis novices! My wife tried using my racquets and got tennis elbow after half an hour of play. In the past I've also passed the time waiting by getting a hair cut next door for $12.  Getting clipped both at the restringing shop and hair shop at the same time. If you know of any place that sells a Prince EXO Silver 110 racket, send me a Yelp message! Tennis companies bring out new models every year, and the new racquets with air vents in the frame have a shorter life expectancy than the older racquets .  With the new strings, I should not be missing my headhunting overheads at my ex across the net! Oh, I forgot, she retired from tennis, after getting too many fuzz sandwiches from my overheads! read more

Super accommodating professional stringing. I love the old and strange strip mall he's in and the fact that he's using the front of the water refill store. Makes me feel like I am in A secret location. He's never made a mistake on my rackets and he accommodated my unique stringing asks read more

Cash only. Quick service. Cheaper than other places. I would definitely come back again.

I used to get my racket strung at Sports Basement until they increased the price from $13 to $25. This place was recommended by my friend and I have been going there ever since. The turnaround is in a day and it's $13 for that which is good enough for me. It's $25 if it needs to be done in 4 hours. I'm not a pro player as such and haven't had any issues for my rackets that we're strung here. Would recommend this place to others. read more

Beware!! The guy offers quick turn around but he has a scam goin on. Check your strings for nicks/cuts when you pick up. I play once a week and my strings used to last several months on average - 3-4 months at least. With him my strings would break every 2 weeks. I started noticing a pattern where I would see nicks at regular intervals. Most of the string would be perfectly new but it would show wear and tear at fixed intervals. Was very suspicious. The next time I picked up the racquets from him I checked them in front of him and noticed the nicks in freshly strung racquets. I politely asked him about it and he got agitated and rudely said that he had to leave and I should just pay him and go. Basically he got caught and became overly defensive. I'm never going back again. I'd rather pay 3-4$ extra and know that I'll get the proper stringing than be cheated like this. read more

I did a stringing for badminton racket. I noticed there are at least 3 places where strings overlapping each other on the frame. This is very bad stringing quality. I pointed it out immediately to the owner when picking up the racket. The owner simply said "oh ok" and did not offer any solution, not even an apology. I asked for 24lbs and it feels lower than that, maybe around 23lbs. The price for badminton racket stringing is $14 (labor only). The business card says "one hour service", but the owner actually only offers next day pick-up. read more

Quick Racket Restringing - Badminton racket stringing. Got at least 3 places where strings overlapping each other outside the frame. Very bad stringing quality. - Tennis Near Me - San Jose, California

My first time here, super quick turn around (30mins), low key, fair price, and simple.

First time - Just had 2 racquets restrung and they turned out great. I specified the tension and the strings and he filled the order perfectly. The price and timeframe couldn't be better. I'll be returning in the future. FYI - look for the Pure Water store, he's in there. read more

Very kind and fast service. Not only the speed but also the better quality. He suggests string tension depend on your style. Will keep coming and recommend others. read more

I love the owner, he is kind and especially price is good :D however, the address on the Yelp is wrong. it is "439 Kiely Blvd. San Jose", not Santa Clara. read more

Reliable ! Have done restringing 4-5 times here ! Fast , inexpensive and good quality ! $13 for restringing + $ whatever strings you choose . read more

great service. I lived in the bay area all my life. I wish I knew about this place earlier. for synthetic strings, the charge was only $20 per racket. it was ready by the next day, for 3 rackets. you can fill your water here too. read more

Probably the fastest and most inexpensive place to get racket stringing done in the bay area. Guy is very friendly and service was exceptional. Would highly recommend read more

Excellent! Fast same day service, never issues nor notches on string job. Frankly better than the string jobs I used to get at Bay Club from their tennis dept. Glad I discovered them! read more

Amazing fast service, very friendly person. Always ready to accommodate your requests. He has variety of strings and grips. He did my stringing and grips for 2 rackets under an hour. Have been visiting this shop since long time. Definitely recommended. read more

I never write reviews on yelp but I have to review this guy. I have a lot of experience in this industry but my father doesn't. I gave him some natural gut and he brought it to this guy to string it. My dad is 70 years old and plays once a week. He tells me his strings broke the first time he played which was shocking. I look at it and the string slipped at the cross knot. I told him he needs to bring it back and demand the guy replace this terrible string job. To my surprise the guy refused to do anything about it and did not take responsibility for this. He gave some bullshit excuse to my dad. This was the first time. I recently learned it happened again so that is why I need to write this after yelling at my dad for coming back to this place again. Please consider bringing your racquet somewhere else which has better service not price. read more

We go to this place for restringing all the time. My son plays competitive tennis and breaks his strings very often. We get great, super quick turnaround often in crunch times as well. read more

If you're in a bind and can't wait for 2-3 days to get your racquet restrung, go here. I play racquetball and he usually does it in a day. Price is better than most and he really goes out of his way to help you. Check it out. read more

Gave him some natural gut to string. Great price; $15 for regualr 4 hours and $17 for express 1 hour. Went with express and everything was great. Good quality, relaiblity, and half the price and 10 times faster than my local tennis store. Will return. read more

This is the only place where I can easily get same day stringing done. I drop by at lunch and pickup on my way home from work. It's 2 dollars more for 1 hour service. I really cam pick it up after lunch and back to the office. Rates are cheap and he has most of the strings that you would want. I have not had any issues yet. I have been using him for 2 years. Only complaint is that he barely speaks English. But, it's not like I need to communicate more than what strings and what tension and when can I pick it up. 22 bucks for my favorite strings in 4 hours and 24 for 1 hour. What more do you need. read more

Address is wrong. It is on South Kiely Blvd and not Kiely Blvd. Correct is: 439 S Kiely Blvd, San Jose Shop name is "Sunrise Pure Water". read more

Not worth the time or money. First timer so didn't know what to expect. Now I know. Racquet wasn't strung to mfg specs/pattern. And stringing had knicks in 5-6 places. Plays terrible and won't last with knicks. I discussed with owner; he offered no correction. RUN AWAY!! read more

Very happy with quality and service for stringing my racket. For me this is the go-to place! Highly recommend! read more

My racket restrung in 25 minutes at lower price! A few helpful advice about my racket and string tension throw in at no charge! You cannot beat this service. I am definitely going back for my future broken strings! One advice for the new comers: the shop is located at the corner of Kiely and Saratoga Ave, in a water shop - Sunrise Pure Water. My google map initially pointed me to the house in Santa Clara. read more

Kind of hard to find tucked away in a store for refilling water containers with filtered water, but it is there. Had my racket restrung to my specifications with my choice of string for $23 including tax (extra $3 to have it done in about an hour or 2). Racket came back good as new and on time, so no complaints from mer. This place is CASH only (not sure many taxes are being paid by this guy). read more

Only place that I know can string tennis racket in less than 30 minutes and charges $25. Higly recommend the place.

If quality and quick racquet stringing is what you are looking for, you don't have to look any further. Sung is knowledgable and has wide range of racquet strings. Cheaper than most other places. His stringing machine is reliable and he is nice gentle man. I suggest anyone to trust their tennis requests with Sung at least once, you will be amazed. Have fun playing tennis.!! read more

This is very convenient place. Price is resonable and you can get your racket within 0.5 hr if you are in a hurry. Very easy to get there. read more

Did a good job. Gave him two e-force racquets to string. One had 4 tie offs, other two, but both racquets played ok. He said he'd be done the next morning, I gave him the racquets at 10am, but when I showed the next day only one was done and I had to wait for him to finish. Good price. Will go to him again. read more

I have been playing tennis for more than 20 years, and have restrung my racquets in many different places such as SportsAuthority, Big-5, etc, but this place is the best. Accurate tension, quick & professional service at very reasonable (quite cheap) price - it doesn't get any better than this. read more

I play tennis about 3 - 4 times per week. I break my strings regularly. I have tried other restringing services from SJ downtown to Mountain View shops. And no other shops come even close to Quick Racket Restringing. Somehow??!? when I string my rackets with Luxilon ALU Big Banger from other shops, they break after 1 or 2 rounds (go figure, they supposed to last longer). Quick Racket Restringing strings to the precision tension (59 lbs for me lol) and lasts long time. Maybe it's because they have digital stringing machine that costs about $6000. Their turn-around time is phenomenal. Usually 1 hour or less when other reputable shops takes 2- 3 days. I really cannot go to other shops anymore. I think I'm spoiled now. What can I say? I want good, fast, precise and inexpensive restringing services. read more

This is the best tennis stringing place around in terms of value and service. I used to have my racquests strung at my tennis club for convenience and then tried several other places after I moved and left the club, but I always had to wait a few days or penalized if I didn't buy the store's string, or pressured to buy other things at the other places. But since going to Quick Racket Restringing, I've been getting only the best value and quick service without the hassles of every other place I've tried. read more

The guy who does the stringing in the Pure Water shop is not a really a stringer by profession. First and foremost does not understand English well and hence hard to communicate, worst he will not listen to your suggestions and gets upset if you keep reminding him about the stringing instructions. But oh well what can you expect for $12 stringing read more

don't go there if you want to restring your badminton, he just told me no, the guy seemed good

Another satisfied customer here with two badminton rackets restrung.The guy runs this inside the Pure Water Store which threw me off for a second. He had Yonex string selections, I was hopping for more color choices but then again I just walked into a Pure Water store so all things together this was overall great for my needs as a novice player. Was next day service with the rackets done by noon after a 3:30pm drop off. Seems to do good work, local service, and I will definitely return. read more

he is awesome !! i restrung couple of times with him .. gd and timely service .. within 4 to 5 hours u racket will be ready .. charges are reasonable ... read more
