Head Instinct Lite 2021 + Head Velocity MLT string. Ball and dampener not included.
Jane A.

FOR THE LOVE OF TENNIS In search for my second racquet... because I'm at that level now where multiple racquets are necessary. Took over a month to find the right tennis shop, the right racquet, etc. So much detail goes into a tennis racquet and I'm all about the details. Luckily I stumbled upon this gem of a shop, signed up for their racquet program, and maybe after testing out 5 racquets within two weeks I've found the one! First and foremost, they follow covid reopening guidelines and take safety precautions seriously. The guys here are super knowledgeable. I brought in my racquet which is a 8.8 that I bought at my tennis club's shop and wanted to get a slightly heavier racquet but very similar in head size and etc. the guys set me up with possible racquets I'd like. They have a great racquet program, better than other racquet programs at other tennis shops. Only stickler is that if you don't live in La Jolla the drive back and forth to get racquets to test every few days can be kind of... inconvenient but besides that, awesome. I'm a super fan of Head so I stuck with that brand but explore different lines. I even sampled a Babolat (pretty nice too). After trying different lines like Radical, Gravity, Pure Drive, etc etc etc. I started to narrow down. And with my style of play on the courts... I found what's best for me was the Head Instinct Lite 2021. It was only the frame. I've decided to try the Head Velocity Multifilament string - so far so good. Purchase the strings and they do the labor of putting the strings on! After a wonderful $179 spent, I have been aggressive putting my baby to use and definitely has changed my game on the courts. I've mentioned this place to my buddies at the club and some have gone over and bought themselves new racquets too. Great place. It's right next to La Jolla Tennis Club. Don't come on Sundays... they are closed - lesson learned. Until the next time...

Purchased my Head Extreme MP, top quality shop.

I've been going here for easily over a decade and it's the type of consistency from a sports store you can only dream of. They haven't expanded to a bigger store, they haven't changed much of anything in the last 45 years but that's what makes this place special. They have all your needs, rackets, strings, shoes, grips etc and they have some real world knowledge behind it to. They're all tennis players, they're fans of the pros just like any of us. We even joked about Tsitsipas breaking the handle of his Wilson racket recently and the Wimbledon final, they're up to date on any and all tennis related content. If you pay in cash, I believe there's a 3% discount. There's also free labor on stringing a racket if you buy the racket from them. Happy to give business to a local legend instead of a generic tennis web store!

A great tennis store! Definitely recommend to every tennis player who needs tennis gears. Racquet Demo Program is great for a new racquet! (https://lajollatennis.com/services-2/#Demo-Program) Basically you can try 3 racquets at a time and keep rotating them in a month. You just need to pay $20, which is deducted from the price of the racket if you buy one later. People there are nice, knowledgeable and patient. While demoing the racquets, they can conclude what's your preference on head size, weight, balance, stiffness, etc. even you are not an expert but just tell them which you like among the demos. After narrowing down the search, you can find the best fit. Similar experience for shoes and bags picking. Always provide numerous options for you to try on. This is what you cannot get for the online shopping. They also do the stringing super fast and usually you can pick it up the same day. While waiting you can go for a walk to La Jolla Cove nearby :)

REI - Quick link I needed - sweet!

On Wednesday 8/12/26, I bought a Cannondale Quick Cx2 and…read morespent over $1000 . That hybrid fitness bike is so worth it especially having my favorite color Rose Red - their color called "Orchid" , bike is so light and fast. I had to buy a kick stand since it doesn't come with the bike and it came loose , so I came today to have it fix and wanting to return the white lucky cat water bottle bike holder since I found the black one somewhere else where it's sold out. Chris acknowledge me since he was busy with a customer, apologizing that I had to wait and fixed the bike stand , took off the cat water bottle holder, put air in my tires, adjusted my seat, height and put the phone holder I never got originally? On that note... gotta give that credit to Kelly, who noticed I didn't have one and I told her I brought it up when I bought the bike Wednesday ? She even adjusted my light reflector to a smaller size to fit my handle bars. Didn't question me why I wanted to returned the white cat water bottle holder. (They were sold out of the black cat and found it somewhere else.) I had is the BEST customer service from both of them -Team work makes the dream work and those two need a raise! Thank you Chris and Kelly! You guys ROCK Can I get a "Amen?!"

I am often at this REI trying to find outdoor gear and supplies…read more I think I have figured out the layout of this place now so I know which sections to head to for my needs. Just also know that all their bike stuff is located in another building, so dont be disappointed. Its cool to have another building just for bikes and bike related gear. This REI also has a lightly used section. I do go and check out whats on offer there, but so far haven't found anything that works. The thing with REI is that you have to want the thing thats carried in the store and nowadays with so many options, REI won't always carry I what I need specifically... Case in point, cavers need specialized equipment as our needs are different than say climbers or canyoneerers. Yes, some things might be shared, but in general, cavers have very special needs. But, today, when I came in here, I did find a quick link I needed so that worked out nicely. I am also a runner and finally decided I need a fanny pack (I hate how the 80s and 90s ruined this item for me), so I also got one that was small enough that would be perfect for my runs. Service is always great here, very friendly and staff always trying to help. I like also that this REI has a community board in the back and I like to check out whats on offer locally. Really wonderful to have this REI here in Kearny Mesa, super convenient and I can go Asian grocery shopping right after! Win win!

VUORI @ LA JOLLA…read more Street parking is available throughout the area, along with parking right out front. Parking is free for two hours, and when I came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed at all. I really love Vuori. This was actually my first time shopping in-store, even though I've heard so many great things about the brand from friends. My boyfriend and I stopped by while doing some Christmas shopping, and I wanted him to try on a few jackets. I especially loved their fleece jacket, which is around $140. They also have a great selection of shorts, both lined and unlined in colors like green, blue, black, and gray. I'm a big fan of the store's overall aesthetic. The service was great from the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and everything in the store was very organized. The fitting rooms were spacious, and I loved that there was a comfy seating area where I could relax while my boyfriend tried things on. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ended up spending about $330 and picked up their iconic tote bag, which is really cute. If it's your first time shopping at Vuori, you can sign up on their website to get 20% off, which is a great perk. Overall, I loved my experience at Vuori and would definitely recommend stopping by. It's clearly a popular brand in La Jolla, I see so many people wearing it, and I'll definitely be returning to this location.

My number 1 favorite brand for active wear or casual/lounge wear. Beats all other brandsread more
