I've had my racquets restrung at several different tennis shops before, but I probably won't be going anywhere else after this. I've brought in four different racquets here, and every time they've finished earlier than promised. It also feels like they really try to work around my schedule, which I appreciate. I don't remember the owner's name, but he's always been great--patiently answering my questions about stringing and just easy to talk to overall. The only downside is that they seem a bit understaffed, and the shop itself is small and a little cluttered compared to more polished tennis stores. That said, they still carry everything you need, whether you're shopping for gear or just getting your racquet restrung. read more

John is the GOAT. Brought my racket in last minute and he got it done in an hour. Got synthetic gut at recommended tension. Perfect work. His string job made me a better tennis player. Racket racquet rack Blades on frames on sticks on time John is a nice guy read more

I agree 100% with the previous reviews. John is the GOAT. First, he's a tournament-level stringer, having strung on the pro tour for many years. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and can guide you through customizing your racket to fit, similar to the consultation that pro players get. He's also been in the tennis industry long enough that other tournament stringers, the tennis brands, etc. know him by name. If you're serious about tennis, I don't see how you could go anywhere else. I happily drive an hour to have my rackets strung here. read more

Local business stocked with all tennis supplies and services. I routinely get my racquets strung here, and the service has always been above and beyond. The owner John is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable; racquet stringing turnaround time is typically a few hours! For me, that's a game changer considering I've always had to wait 1-2 weeks for stringing turnaround. I highly recommend this shop for all your tennis needs. read more

The questions I had about options for racket stringing that I had were answered clearly. Great value in comparison to other tennis shops that perform the same service. Would come here again for stringing. read more

Racquets Rackets - Front entrance and parking. - Sporting Goods Near Me - Arcadia, California

I went to change my strings and they did a great job, they included a grip change and dampener too! I could feel the difference the string quality made when playing. Really great customer service too! read more

Racquets Rackets does an outstanding job of restringing tennis racquets! The two brothers who own this shop have done stringing for many professional tennis tournaments around the world including the Grand Slams (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open). I know them personally and in addition to being excellent stringers, they are just great people. Please use them when re-stringing your tennis, badminton or racquetball rackets! You will be very pleased! They use the best equipment - Babolat Star 4 stringing machines among others. Also, they have a Babolat RDC (checks weight, swingweight, balance, and flex) that they use to customize and match your tennis racquets so they all feel, weigh, and swing the same. If you need anything done to your tennis racquet, these guys can get it done. If they can't, then no one can. They have a large selection of tennis racquets, tennis strings, and tennis balls from all the major manufacturers (YONEX, Prince, Wilson, Head, Babolat, etc.). If I remember correctly, they are open everyday except Sunday. Cheers! read more

Great neighborhood store! I prefer to come here than those chain stores. They know the sport and are very honest. Recommend!

I have been coming here for over 20 years. The owner John is awesome and is full of knowledge. I go out of my way to come here for the expertise and how quick he is with getting my racket restrung. I live in SF now, but always save my rackets for when i make a trip back to get done by him. He (and this shop) are the best. read more

John and Julian are Tennis Racquet Gods! Today, I brought in my vintage 30 year old Original Dunlop Max 200G in for stringing. With complete trust, I went with Julian's recommendation: Gamma TNT2 RX 16 Gauge at 57 lbs. As always, they strung my racquet quickly, with care and precision. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rXssVlOOcfotnF-xcHT0EA?select=9Vl7168SEmsIuRMmxWjxFA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rXssVlOOcfotnF-xcHT0EA?select=XGLYWCkBOY03cWTWW3xf6Q As of January 2012, you'll receive a complimentary can of Dunlop A Player Elite Hard Court Tennis Balls with each String & Labor purchase! (Offer is only good when you buy strings from Racquets Rackets...not if you bring your own set of strings.) So offer to bring in your friends and family's racquets for restringing and keep the can of complimentary balls for yourself. They'll think you're just being a super courteous, nice person by taking care of a menial task for them, but the truth is you're just a greedy lil bastard! :P http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rXssVlOOcfotnF-xcHT0EA?select=LEQWIF4yJwV1mGhEBAZ_IQ Although knowledge of John & Julian stringing for the pros at the 4 Grand Slams and Olympics is old news, I found out today that Racquets Rackets is thee Official Stringer for the 2012 Olympics held in London, England. Julian will be Lead Stringer, directing a team of 10 racquet stringers at these Summer Games. Congrats, guys! Need to have that worn out bumper guard or those grommets replaced? Normally, the other shops have to special order them, taking up to a week to come in just to have your racquet restrung. BUT, chances are Racquets Rackets will have them in-stock as they keep a wide inventory of bumpers and grommets for your convenience. Finally, some reviews complain about price. Look, when you have your racquets strung at Racquets Rackets, you're buying quality service and peace of mind. Trust me, I've had my racquets strung at several local shops in the past. You get what you pay for. These guys are the best! read more

Fantastic tennis shop! John was super nice and knowledgeable. He helped me choose the right grip size for my new Blade and we got a little Nadal Jr. Babolat for my 6 year old son. While we were there John fixed my wife's new Wilson racquet by adding some weight to it. We had great experience and would recommend this shop for the restringing service and buying new tennis racquet and accessories. Thank you John for the great customer service! read more

John is a wonderful guy and professional stringer. Always kind and super helpful with any of my tennis needs. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality service. read more

I had two rackets strung there. The jobs were well done and my questions were answered and he also gave me some tips. Surprisingly, he replaced one of the handle wraps without any extra charge. Thank you, sir. read more

Very nice gentleman at the store. We just bought a house it is currently in escrow and has a tennis court. So I needed some supplies for the whole family and my baby niece and I bought my baby needs a tennis racket. I'm coming back to buy rackets for the whole family soon. We also need to resurface the tennis court and also a tennis machine that shoots ball out. The guy that was working there was very helpful and pointing out to the right direction. And the pricing here is very affordable and great quality. read more

Great service, tons of useful information on how to maintain my racket/strings . Decent pricing, shoes, strings, rackets, balls . You'll find all you need in here read more

First off...i like the name of the store....I spelled it both ways not knowing which was correct.......they're both correct! Anyhow...I went here to string my new aeropro racket....he suggested the strings to use and the tension also which I appreciated...too many choices is confusing to say the least....he did all of it while i waited for under 30.00 which included tax....and added the logo, which is a nice touch.....such a great job....I think I might go there and pick me up a tennis bag also! When I can find the time which hopefully I can squeeze it in like I did the stringing.... :) read more

Racquets Rackets is my go to place for anything tennis related. John and Julian are always friendly, knowledgeable and give great recommendations. I like having my rackets customized completely for myself and have never had an issue getting any work done by them here. Whether it be hybrid stringing, adding weight, weight matching multiple rackets or changing the grip size of my racket (assuming you have a Head or Volkl...or you're like me and go through the hassle of chipping away the polyeurathane foam base on other models), these guys have been able to do it all for me. They give great string recommendations and they both get your string jobs done quickly and accurately. They really are the best shop in town. They can be a bit expensive too, but their services are more than worth it! read more

5 Stars for restringing tennis racquets! As for the shop itself, it's a typical small family own operation. I wouldn't shop there for clothes, as they seemed a bit outdated, but they know how to restring tennis racquets as they pre-stretch the stings before putting on the racquet, most shops won't or don't. If you play tennis, take my word, these guys are true professionals at restringing tennis racquets, the best I'm aware of. read more

Located in a small strip mall, this shop has the expertise and experience to belong in a much more elegant location. John and Julian are the best stringers in Los Angeles County. For example, did you know that Julian was the head stringer for the 2012 Olympics? Still don't believe me? Please head inside to the shop and see his photos with Djokovic and Federer and other player's racquets they had worked on. As a customer they treat you fair and in a professional manner. They set up your racquet to match your style and are always honest and genuine with their recommendations. Hands down the best. Nothing more to say! read more

Worst string job ever, had to wait for days. Poor customer service, the shop is filthy dirty. I can do a better job with needle nose pliers. read more

This is a small strip mall tennis shop, but don't be fooled. John and Julian are among the best stringers in the San Gabriel Valley. As a customer, they treat you right,and they set your racquet up to match your style. Their prices are in line with other tennis shops, and they will re-string within thirty minutes, if you need. Negatives: A limited selection of tennis clothes, and racquets. They do not match the Racquet Doctor's selection. Remember, you come to Racquet Rackets for the expertise and workmanship that John and Julian provide. read more

I have known Julian and John since the mid 90s, when Julian was teaching at Industry Hills. If you play tennis regularly and live around the area, you know they are the BEST stringers around. I have bought racquets and used their stringing services since the 90's, always 100% satisfied. Love visiting them at their shop and checking out the newest gears. Give them a try, you will be impressed. read more

I have been coming to this shop since i started playing tennis at 8 years old. 15 years later, I dont go to any other place for my stringing needs. John and Julian are the best around at what they do. The quality of their work is more than just a simple string job, its an art. Watching them string is like watching a conductor conducting an orchestra, every weave they do on the racket flows smoothly and without struggle too. They are experienced stringers who travel the world stringing for the top pros and with that experience, they have gained alot of knowledge that they are always more than happy to share with anyone who asks. Beyond the stringing, there is the weight and balancing of the rackets. If you need your rackets to be heavier or matching your other rackets, or even copying your favorite pro, they do it all. If you want a string that compliments your playing style but not sure what string to use, they will always recommend what is best for you, and the tension you should have it at. John and Julian are professionals at what they do, not even professionals, they are experts. One of my favorite things about this shop is that immediately when you walk in, there is a glass vualt that has actual professional player rackets with personalized autographs and with that in mind not just anyone can get their hands on those type of rackets. I have been coming to this shop for 15 years and I will continue coming to this shop for 15 more years and 15 more years after that and so on. With John and Julian being the gods that they are I expect them to definitely be around when my kids start getting their rackets restrung from them. read more

Racquets Rackets - The entire store from the entrance, and Julian diing what he does best!!! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Arcadia, California

Love coming here! The owner knows his stuff and takes such good care of your equipment. Come for all your tennis needs!! Highly recommend!!

The owner John is really nice and was very helpful when I asked questions. I came to bring my racket restrung here because I had seen good reviews, and I see why now. Not expensive at all, will continue to bring my rackets with John. read more

Knowledgeable and very friendly. I strung a Wilson BLX Six.One Tour with Babolot RPM Blast 16 ($17) and got grommet ($7) thing for the head part only. Came out to $57 which is pretty expensive. When I got it back, it came in one of those bags that you see on tv when the pros pull out a new racket which is cool. They also put the the sticker on to tell you string type, tension, and when you strung to help you gauge when you should re-string. Played with it right after, and i felt good, but then I've been to quite a few different places, and I've never had an issue with the string job being so poor i could say...yea this was the reason I lost or why I couldn't place the ball where I wanted to. My friend goes here and he's says he can tell the difference, so if you're not really worried about price, or only string once in a while, i'd definitely go here. As for me, this is going to be place #2 to string at when place #1 isn't available because they can turnaround a racket quick, have a wide selection of strings, and from what i can tell do a good job. read more

Good place for racquet stringing. Great customer service. I was able to get same-day stringing! Not much in the way of apparel. Decent selection of racquets, strings, overgrips, and dampeners. read more

Excellent shop. Always get my rackets strung within an hour or two. They give great racket advice and are always looking to help. I even appreciate that they look at my worn strings and tell me the flaws in my swing ;) read more

John is very detail-oriented. If something is wrong he fixes it. I gave him a racket to string with missing and chipped grommets and without me asking he added plastic spaces so the string wouldn't rub on the graphite. Have you seen how well he wraps a grip? The man is a master. Demo program is great. Cost of a demo goes toward your racket purchase. Not a huge shop but it has well-selected items. Even simple stuff like a hat is well-chosen. They chose to stock a great hat instead of like a wall of hats. Prices are good too. Thanks Racquets Rackets! read more

Love this place. Just went in to get my grip changed and the owner wrapped it himself and then wouldn't charge me. Very sweet.

Got my racket restrung and they did a great job. Price was reasonable and they also gave me a free can of balls when I picked it up. Would definitely come back for any more racket repairs. read more

John is a little on the pricier end if you need to get your racquet strung, but he does a fantastic job. It's the only place I've ever been to where the racquet feels crisp and responsive after a string job with no break-in period. The racquet came professionally handled with a cool plastic bag and rubber band dampener like the pros. He was telling me that he used to work on Andre Aggassi's team back in the day and gave me a free can of balls with my racquet purchase. He usually finishes the racquet in the same day. read more

Racquets Rackets is the place to go to restring your racquets! I used to string my racquets at other places, but after one visit to Racquets Rackets, i have never strung my racquets anywhere else (and that was 10 years ago). If you are uncertain and have questions, ask these guys. They are friendly, and expertly knowledged in everything about tennis. They can customize your racquet, suggest string options, and even help you in purchasing your next racquet. And you can count on them to recommend something that will suit your experience and level of game play. Their racquet inventory is great. And, although they don't have the hugest selection of clothes, they usually have something for everyone. If you are in the area, check them out. I live in Los Angeles, and I drive to Arcadia to have my racquets strung. I won't let anyone else string my racquets. If you are serious about your tennis, or just looking for a reputable and reliable shop, try them out. A big plus, is that they are in a great location. There is plenty of parking, and It is easy to find something to do while you're waiting for your racquets to be strung. 5 stars from me for a great family owned business, excellent customer service and for "never" being disappointed!! Kai read more

Excellent family-owned tennis shop. Very knowledgeable and capable. Great selection of rackets at lower prices than any of the huge chain stores including those online hence why I bought my Yonex E-Zone 100 and Babolat AeroProDrive GT from them. They do an amazing job of both restringing and "factory" grip replacements. There is clothing here but the selection of that is limited. Nevertheless, If you're serious about your tennis, this is the place to go. If you're a beginner, they will offer advice and never push you in to anything. An excellent little shop and easily the number 1 in the area for tuning up your racquets. read more

Great place... Julian and John are very friendly people and knows their stuff and when I go I always feel welcome.

$30 + tax to restring my racket. I didn't get the logo like another Yelper here did. The guy remembered which racket belonged to me even though I came in for it 4 days later. It must have been because I asked him a lot of dumb questions but he was patient enough to explain everything to me and never made me feel stupid. read more
