Racquets Rackets

Quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely honest. I went in to get by strings restrung and helped me choose the best strings for my skill level. Overall good, but I didn’t get any ball

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.

Went in with my own string to re-​string my racket and the guy manning the desk was friendly and helped me decide my tension. No complaints thus far, so I’d say go here despite it being a bit more pricey than other shops. He’d offered to order my string (that was a less common gauge) next time if I need it. Had it done within the hour.

These guys are awesome! Very helpful to me a person who knows nothing about rackets and strings, but was looking for a gift for my dad. I also had my dad’s racket re-​string here and it was done in a couple of hours at a very reasonable price. Again these guys are great.

Julian does great work. He makes sure each racket is weight and balanced with all of them matching. Stringing is the most consistent I’ve ever experienced. And if you’re wondering what kind of credentials Julian has, see the link below. Thank you for always string my frames while I wait.

This place is AMAZING!!! The amount of knowledge and experience that John and Julian have is remarkable. I live close to 2 hours away and yet i still send them all my business. I’m a solid 4.5−5.0 level player and feel and power are very important to me. Over 7 years ago I got introduced to these guys from a former pro and after a good hour conversation they were able to customize my pure drive gt to fit my game. We added weight to the top and in the handle via silicone while also finding the right types of stringing pattern/​tension. Since then i’ve been playing with 6 identical racquets and i have recently picked up two new pure drive tours.
The stringing job you’ll receive is perfect and from my experience the strings last the longest and the tension is more consistent than any other place i’ve been. THESE GUYS ARE WORLD CLASS AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. There prices are great, customer service is wonderful, and they love what they do. GO THERE AND CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF.

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!

What a great deal! Great service, great price, owner saw us wait outside, despite being 30 mn early before opening, came out and opened for us, and a free can of balls with the racket? Definetly a must go again!

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.

Awesome guys and very well knowledge!!! Thanks again, this is my new goto tennis store.

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

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.

This is the only place where I string my racket. Unless, I find a better one… The Unilocalers here pretty much nailed it. I also got free tennis balls if you strung your racket.

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!

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.
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
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!

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.

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.

$ 30 + tax to restring my racket. I didn’t get the logo like another Unilocaler 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.

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… :)

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!
