Racket Supply

These guys know their badminton. Lei Cai was very attentive when we were talking about which replacement racket I should be looking into. Rather than selling me one of the most expensive rackets he had, he suggested a very affordable racket around a hundred dollars for me. I’ve used the racket for several months now, it’s very robust (survived many clashes) and it plays very sell for an offensive player like me. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and anybody that’s looking for a racket store that won’t dupe you.

Helpful staff and their demo program is very reasonable.

Love this place and good service.

I went into this small tennis and badminton shop looking for a tennis bag and received zero acknowledgement from the 3 people talking, rather loudly, amongst themselves behind the counter.
After spending about 10 minutes looking at various tennis bags without any help I decided to leave. As a customer I didn’t feel welcome in this store.

I ordered two tennis rackets at the same time with two different strings on each. They ordered two different rackets (both HEAD rackets one Pro and other MP) costing the same amount but when I got the racket after stringing and I pointed to them they are different rackets they asked me to pay 15% restocking fee. It was Racket Supply mistake and instead of saying SORRY they start blaming me and ask for 15% restocking fee. On top of this these guys (Peter and another Panda) were smiling at me and my wife instead of feeling sorry.

Just one question: WHY would any tennis store put their selection of new tennis racquets BEHIND the sales counter, tennis players are taught to be cordial & respectful, now am I supposed to: 1. Go behind tbe counter, 2: cut in front of the stringer doing his re-​stringg work… Go figure…

I had a couple of rackets strung here, and the price was reasonable, and the string and work were OK. The selection of rackets is average, a few dozen different models. But the staff aren’t friendly or helpful. I don’t like to have salespeople hover but I don’t like to be ignored either, or receive a distinct vibe that since I don’t buy a $ 200 racket every other month, I don’t deserve consideration. Their racket loaner programme is only for three days, and they don’t show any willingness to extend it. It is convenient to have a tennis shop in the neighborhood – but due to their attitude, I don’t plan to make any larger purchases here.

The store sells tennis & badminton stuff. I always go here to check out tennis stuff. They match their product price as the tennis warehouse website, and they got the cheapest labor compare to the bay area except the private one. They charge $ 10 dollar labor if you buy the string in the store, otherwise cost $ 12 dollar, but it’s still cheaper than the other stores in bay area.

bought a killer racket, shoes and restring job from this guy (owner).he is super knowledgeable, friendly, deals a little and is enthusiastic about bad-​mitten! I bought two bags from him as well and will go back when needed to upgrade my gear, learn and buy more! I highly recommend! I’m pretty certain he told me he teaches and was/​is a pro!

I wouldnt recommend this place, better buy online especially for Tabel tennis related stuff. It look like they are hardly bothered to do biz. I asked him to show couple of blades and rubber for getting a custom paddle made. He seemed annoyed and said got to complete stringing in another hr. I tried one more time and walked away.

Very good pro shop in the neighborhood! Thanks

Beware of their «price match guarantee». This is a fake as well. They simply claim «oh we can’t match that price it’s below our cost». Simply don’t bother with this store.

Stringing:
I’ve been coming to this place to get my (badminton) racket strung for a few years. The price is standard ($ 10 labor +cost of string) and even during high school badminton season, they still manage to to do one day stringing (drop it off after practice, pick it up the next day around the same time). You can pay an extra $ 5 if you want the stringing done same day, but I haven’t been in a situation where that’s necessary.
The stringing quality is pretty good compared to other places. I hit pretty hard for a girl, and I string around 27lbs, so I go through strings pretty fast. Off season, my strings usually last at least 3 – 5 months (train once a week for 2 hours). During season, they last about a month and a half or so (playing 6 days a week for 2 – 4 hours a day).
Merchandise:
I also buy my grips here. The selection is pretty good. There’s a variety of badminton and tennis grip to choose from (Wilson, Babolat, Yonex, Gamma, Head, Prince). The price isn’t half bad either. I buy the alpha grips for ~$¾ a pack, with three grips in a pack.

In my first visit, they took the time to help me select the perfect racket for my needs. The took into account my budget, skill level, ability, and size, as well as teaching me a lot about the choices available.

supplier is all they are, hence the name racket supply. maybe they have more than two staff but the staffs i’ve talked to know nothing about tennis, at least not as much experience as i have with tennis. a simple test would be to talk to them about an old racket i have from high school 20 years ago. i wanted to know which Babolat racket to get that would play very similar to my Prince Thunderstick and they had no idea what i was talking about. judging from the way they look they are about my age, but probably wasn’t even into tennis because they also sell badminton and table tennis stuff.
as a «supplier» they are decent with their selection of rackets and prices are the same as Tennis Warehouse, but without the knowledge and the lack of interest in what i (the customer) want, i am very disappointed.
i would recommend another store: Game Set Match in sunnyvale. the store there only focuses on tennis and the older gentleman who helped me actually plays tennis for quite some time so he understands completely when i fired questions at him for a good 15 – 20 minutes.

Great local place for tennis and badminton supplies. Knowledgable staff and as others have noted, Monica is very friendly and helpful. They will steer you right even if it means you won’t be buying anything from the store. Prices are very competitive, so you can buy from them to have it immediately and not worry about shipping costs. Note that credit card is accepted only for purchases over $ 20. I like to support the local stores that are good and fair so will be a returning customer.

Great selection on rackets. Best demo policy in town — no cost and you get to keep rackets for 3 days. Monica is very knowlegable about both rackets and strings. She obviously does her homework and cares about the sport. Don’t go there for the clothes (there are none) but for the best selection and prices on rackets and other tennis and badminton equipment.

Friendly, knowledge, reasonable place to demo and buy a tennis supplies (racket, shoes, balls). Demo plan is free for 3 days!

Small mom pop shop with good friendly staff. The demo plan is free provided you don’t damage the racket. I ended up buying a new racket and think I got a very fair price with fast and friendly service?

A nice store filled with tennis equipment (racquets, balls, grips, shoes, bags), badminton equipment, and table tennis equipment. I would say that this place is more knowledgeable in badminton than tennis.
Their demo program for tennis racquets is great! A program that I’ve used many times. You can demo up to 2 racquets at a time for 3 days for FREE! After that it is $ 5 per racquet per day after the 3 days. I was expecting to pay just to demo racquets but when I heard my favorite word, free, I was over ecstatic. There’s a wall of racquets to chose from. They are not sorted in any particular order, so it may take you some time to go through to find what you want to try out. They have a nice range of the latest Babolat, Head, Prince, and Wilson. They don’t have Yonex, Dunlop or other brands.
On another wall, there are used and pre-​owned racquets for sale. Some are by the store and others are by owners. Another neat program they offer is if you want to sell your racquet, they will hang it on their wall and if someone buys it they will collect the money for you.
I didn’t string my racquet here nor bought one, so I can’t tell you the quality on that. I did check the pricing and it’s a tad high and do have sales on select items.
