Racquet Store has everything you need to start your tennis journey! My close friend introduced me to tennis and it has been my favorite form of cardio. I've been going to this place for almost a year and this is where I bought my first tennis racquet. Vu is so knowledgeable and you can ask this wizard anything about tennis and he'll always have an answer. Him and his team have been very consistent in stringing my racquets on time; so I can always rely on them. The prices are about the same anywhere else, but you'll find some good deals. It's always wonderful to support a family-business! If you want somewhere to start, go to Vu, he'll set up the essentials you need to get the tennis ball rolling. Tips - Racquet store is located across the street from Falafel's Drive-in. - Depending on relevancy and condition of your tennis racquet, you can trade in your old racquet for a new one. - There's pickleball and paddle ball stuff here. read more

Don't do a demo program here, most of their rackets are a version older which aren't even available for sale anyways so I don't see the point of demoing them. The selection of new rackets is very poor, if you really need a good quality demo program try Sports Warehouse in MTV. read more

My Wilson Blade 98 US Open had a crack. Working with Wilson for a warranty when I noticed that the receipt dated 1/16/24 had a mistake of showing the Blade 98 Noir instead. We both don't know how it happened, but I told him that when I lost my tennis bag with several Blade 98 Bold 98S in Jan. On that day upon visiting his store, I fell in love with the limited edition of US Open and Roland Garros, I bought both. Vu, the owner was very accommodating in writing a letter explaining the case of mistake identity to help my return. Thank you Vu and I'll definitely come back to buy my next Blade racket, possibly the new V9 Blade 98 soon. read more

We made the trip from the Central Valley for this joint as there is only a department store with an extremely limited selection of racquets on-hand. When you get here, you'll notice that they have invested heavily in having racquets of various types, grip sizes, etc. available to check out. (Check the picture.) 2nd picture: Our new Wilson Blade 98 w/grip size of 4 1/8". Thanks, Vu, for the excellent advice! The owner, Vu, and his team were outstanding at providing us outstanding advice. He went beyond his station to provide us tips after finding flaws and our grip style and coached us at no charge. He provided another bonus as well because we were first time shoppers. I do recommend their online store for sure as they strung my wife's new racquet perfectly. But if it's not too far out of the way, you MUST make the trip to Vu's Tennis Store. We both recommend this store and will be returning for any and all of our tennis needs!!! read more

I'd say this is a great go-to for all things tennis! Good variety of all things bag/grip/racket (etc.) from some of the top name brands, all in one place. There are also shoes and a fair amount of shirts/shorts! Saves any ensuing goose-chase if you were to buy similar items to deck out a season, at a store like Big 5 Sporting goods. The staff are friendly and there should be no trouble selecting what you're looking for as a player; they'll be happy to walk you through what you need! I'd recommend coming at an earlier time/scheduling a pick-up date, if you want to avoid any waiting when picking up your racket, though! Was told the stringing would take an hour and it had yet to be strung when I came back an 1:30h later! Would definitely come back for any further purchases! read more

I was excited to happen upon Vu's Tennis store and he pointed out some shoes I would have never previously considered because they don't market them in wide widths.

I happened to visit this place when they used to be in Downtown San Jose. Glad they are around and is my definite local shop for all my tennis needs. Took a 3-4 year hiatus from tennis, and needed to get my racquet strung before playing again. With tennis being one of the better sports to play during the pandemic, it made it much easier to get back into tennis. Didn't hesitate to take my racquet to Vu Tennis Also since my racquet was older, I was in the market for a new one. Ended up doing the rental program for a new Wilson racquet, and ultimately purchased the same racquet afterwards! Overall, great experience and will continue to buy my tennis products from here! read more

The staff did a safety inspection and let us know that helmets are included with the rental and that we could return the bike to any Sports Basement location. My friend also asked if they could leave their backpack there, and the staff kept it behind the desk, which was really nice. The bike was in good condition! We rode it for 4-5 hours with no issues. A few things I wanted to point out - the seat was pretty narrow and hard, which made it uncomfortable to sit on. It had been a while since I last biked, so I'm not sure if I just need to wear padded shorts or if the seat wasn't the right fit for me. Another thing is that I couldn't sit in the front because the seat was too tall for me to comfortably reach the pedals, and there didn't seem to be an easy way to adjust the height. Lastly, it would've been nice to have a phone mount on the handlebar for navigation. We turned in the bike at the end of the day. Overall, the process was very smooth, the staff were friendly, and the rental was affordable. I would do it again, but I'd wear padded shorts next time :)

The sales associate had immediate knowledge like if the item was waterproof and they proactively added nice socks which made the shoes work. Otherwise they did not fit. I also liked that he gave me a nice pro briefing on gators which are another snow solution if you have high or low shoes. A second sales guy made sure the shoes had the right discount tag. I was ignored for an hour a different store the day prior. It was nice to have regular service again! This restored my faith in good customer service.

Found this place on Craigslist and i'm coming here from now on. they only charge 10 dollars for labor and you get to pick it up on the same day!! Scan the store a little bit, They don't seem to have a lot of selections. mostly just rackets, shoes, and lots and lots of strings. I was dazed when they asked me to pick out the string I like from the display. they just carry too many strings. I dont know if I will ever try all these strings out. what impressed me most was the racket prices. every racket was 10 dollars cheaper than tenniswarehouse. the guy who work there also said new racket purchase will get free string and free labor. and with that I'm probably gonna come here when I want a new racket. Staff was friendly. the bad thing about this place was parking. It's hard to find a parking spot here. and there is no clothes at all. The guy said it was just open a few months ago. I guess they are building their selection slowly. totally recommending this place just on prices alone!!!!!! read more

I live in Milpitas but I usually come to DHL tennis whenever I need my racquets restrung because I trust their fancy machines and their professionalism. They have a big selection of racquets, strings, bags, shoes, etc. But I sort of go in and out within 5 minutes. After watched the final French Open match Djokovic vs Nadal today, I convinced myself to upgrade new weapon, hopefully I will play like Nadal :-) Carefully check online prices, I'm shocked to know that they offer me the same price as online price and give me a free tennis bag or tennis shoes if I buy a pair of racquets. No need to say, I took the deal and get me a matching color tennis bag ( not the free cover comes with the racquet, a real 6 pack bag.) I don't know how long this deal gonna last , but I got 2 racquets and free tennis bag. I'm good to go now. read more

If you need to get your tennis racquet restrung, dhltennis is definitely the place to go to because service is quick and cheap. I sort of stumbled across their website dhltennis.com when I was searching online. They gave me same day service and labor was only $10! That's way way lower than other places. I saw that their prices on racquets and other items in the store are below tenniswarehouse prices also, but I don't need a racquet at this time. Maybe for my next upgrade I'll buy one from them. read more

They also have a person available to string rackets. The customer service is great. Our store associate was helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. She was able to answer any questions I had about rackets and clothing. She also shared how employees actually spend time trying out the new rackets at a park nearby there. I think that's a great way to help store associates sell the products since they're trying it first hand and can give you their experience. The pricing of the products felt a bit high, but the quality of the clothes looked nice and they also have a sale section available. I love the new skirt I got and wish I bought more!

Devin was extremely helpful, patient and easy to talk to. I originally came in with the intention of buying a spare ball but after speaking with him, I ended up going with his recommendations to move up to a heavier ball and instead work on manipulating my hand position to shoot my spares. I am happy that I went with his suggestion as I now have a much funner ball to throw (and am still picking up my spares!). He helped evaluate my current ball's measurements and made some slight but very noticeable adjustments. I absolutely love the ball Devin fitted and drilled for me. I would definitely recommend giving this pro shop a visit if you're ever in the area. Shout outs to Devin!
