Westwood Sports

Good price on Racquets, stringing tension is always consistent.

I love Bert and Mo!!!
They are so knowledgeable about strings and rackets!
Since they are also really good tennis players, they both give you great advise on tennis products!
It is very convenient to have a tennis shop in the island!

So, I should start off by saying that Bert and Mo who work at Westwood Sports are great. If it wasn’t for them my issue would still be unresolved. They’re the only reason I gave this place two stars instead of one.
I ordered a a racquet from Bruce, the owner, at the Coronado pro shop July 4^th weekend. He told me I would have the racquet within a week. Two weeks later, I CALLED HIM to ask about the racquet. He told me he hadn’t received it from the manufacturer yet but he’d have it in a week and would send it out.
FAST FORWARD: It’s August 10^th, no racquet, radio silence from Bruce, and the best part is he didn’t bother to call me after I reached out to him multiple times.
Bottom line: If you want to buy anything from this store, I’d advise you to work with someone else. I’m a reasonable person and had he kept me in the loop (or called me back) I wouldn’t even be on Unilocal right now.

I am trying to get back into tennis after 25 years. The first time out the strings on my racquet broke so I took it to these guys. The price to restring and buy two cans of balls was less than $ 30. This is what I remember paying the last time I did this. The service was great.

Great customer service! Needed a last minute tennis racquet string fixed. They helped us got it done. Thanks!

We’re fortunate enough to have this store right here in Rancho Bernardo. Great selection of everything from racquets to apparel to various accessories.

Visiting from S. Florida and got my racket restrung here. Very knowledgeable about different and new types of strings. Very pleased. Great selection of all types of tennis apparel and equipment.

Recently, went to the store as a fellow tennis player made the recommendation to get a different racket for my painful tennis elbow. I use to play years ago, and just took up the game again… having never experiencing any such pain in the pass, I thought it was just due to getting older and being out of shape.
The young gentleman who spent time answering my questions was very helpful, and guided me to rackets that would have greater flex, and strings that would help the elbow as well. I’m sorry I can’t remember his name, because he deserves recognition!
I purchased a discontinued new, Yonex, that he suggested, it was formally $ 179.00 for just $ 69.00 How good is that!
That racket has made such a difference in my elbow, and I was so skeptical at the on set. I’m hitting the ball with so much better control, its like butter! Understandably, they didn’t make much money on my transaction, but I will certainly recommend them to the tennis folks here in Hidden Meadows, Escondido.
Additionally, 2 weeks after playing with the racket it developed a hairline crack in the frame. I returned it and the Yonex Rep was able to replace it for no charge, which was nice. However, I was responsible for paying for having it restrung. I’m hoping the Yonex rep will reimburse me the $ 17.00 since I feel it would be right to do. Bruce the shop owner is going to ask on my behalf. Watch for my next posting… I’ll let you know how Yonex replied.

the best reliable store in San Diego !!

This was my first time dealing with Westwood Sports and I was totally lied to. Note, they have 3 different entities so don’t get confused. I did finally figure it out though. They have an Ebay store, Online store, and a Brick & Mortar store. While I was looking for racquets for my kids, I really wanted to go to the store and check them out, but it was a little ways of a drive so I looked online. I finally found what I needed and called in to ask a few questions. It turns out they only had one left on the shelf and I needed two. The person helping me went to the warehouse to double check and was able to find me another one. So here is where all the lying began. She proceeded to tell me the racquet was new, but there were slight marks on the case. I said I didn’t mind so long as they were the same exact thing. She = this lady name Jackie said if I wanted them, I would receive the shipment in 2 days. It turns out, I got them the very next day. I proceeded to open the package to look for the marks she was talking about. I couldn’t tell which was the one with the scuff or the one supposedly without. Regardless, I have seen shoes at a store with more scuffs. Ultimately, I’m totally happy with my transaction and would definitely recommend. 5 stars

I met the owner Bruce for the first time at a tennis tournament, the Home Depot Center Open up in Carson, CA a few years back. That day I was very interested in a pair of tennis shoes but unfortunately they did not have it in my size at the tournament but told me he had them at his shop. He was willing to pick them up and bring them the next day (so nice and accommodating) but I was only at that tournament that day. Since I knew I was going to be down in SD that same month, he saved those shoes for me. The entire experience was good and the price was great!
This is a one stop shop for all your tennis needs, I was very pleasantly surprised at the variety of tennis items available. I’m glad I live in SD now so the drive to the shop is a lot shorter. I know that Bruce can always get me great merchandise at great prices, just like my most recent purchase — tennis warm up jacket. Besides merchandise, they also string racquets!

Bought some Prince overgrips online. It was ship ASAP… thanks!

This store is so much more than a tennis store. I called ahead to check they had boy’s swim jammers and the guy went back three times to verify stock, size and price. With that service alone they earned a new client in me. They had several in the size we needed and I got the swimsuit for $ 13 less than the single option at Sports Authority, and found good googles to boot. It is a little dusty (the only reason I gave them 4 stars rather than 5), but I’ll take that and the savings any day rather than pay more at the shiny big place.

We drive 30+ miles each way to go to this store! There aren’t TOO many tennis store options in San Diego, especially with their selection, and sometimes you just can not wait for a delivery from Tennis Warehouse (YES — impatient). The prices on rackets are discounted (better than online), if you live close by the demo option is great, their staff is helpful, they carry Babolat merch & Slazenger tennis balls, and they have a STORE CAT (again, very important minutia). They carry everything I use, from socks to my favorite dampeners (Own-​The-​Zone brand).
If you are a tennis player, definitely check out Westwood Sports!

I recently bought a couple Head IG Instinct MP’s from the store. They were very helpful with the selection process and were lower in price than any other store or .com store-​front. They also strung the sticks same day with an upgraded string for next to nothing. I should have Unilocal’d these guys 8 months ago but didn’t…
My Racket cracked near the throat while at a lesson shortly after my purchase. I called the store to see what my next steps should be. They took the racket back and shipped it to the manufacturer direct themselves for free since I had recently purchased it from them. Thats rare when purchasing from a Tennis store-​front that you get that type of service! When the new racket came in, they strung it up again free of charge with the same string I had before the issue.
They’re a bit of a drive from Downtown SD to get to, but well worth it for the service they provide their customers!!! TONS of selection, great staff and excellent customer service. If Unilocal had a 6^th star, they’d get it from me!

Lots of tennis gear to choose from and prices are decent. However, string jobs have been inconsistent every time I’ve gone there. Owner/​manager could be friendlier, too.

If you play tennis, this needs to be your store!
Here is why:
1) The best friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth, fun, eager to help, tennis loving staff around!
2) The BEST selection of all tennis related items
3) Very reasonable pricing
4) Tons of parking and easy to find
5) Racquet demo program! AWESOME, basically you can check out a few racquets at a time, play with them and see which one fits you best!
6) They have an in store cat, that’s awesome!
Cons:
ummm. Scratching head… NONE!
Simply put, if you need anything tennis, Westwood Sports is your best choice!

I recently purchased a couple Head tennis racquets from this company. They simply could not have been more helpful. They delivered the product sooner than normal at no extra charge when I told them I had a tennis match that Saturday.
Nice, friendly, knowledgeable service. I live in Alexandria, VA, all the way across the country. No matter, I will go straight back to these guys for my next racquet.

When it comes to price and customer service this is the place.

By far, one of the best Tennis shops I’ve been to in the United States. For those of you wondering, (thank God) no, I’m not from San Diego although right now necessity dictates that I be here, but I have lived all over the U.S. in the following cities; Detroit, Chicago, Boston, NYC, Raleigh/​Durham, Miami, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego. I’ve played Tennis in all of them, and have visited Lord knows how many stores, but I’ve only found a few that I’d ever reccomend, and Westwood Sports is one of them. (For anyone in Los Angeles– check out Kriegers in Sherman Oaks off of Ventura blvd.)
First of all, the store has absolutely everything you could ever want, or hope to find and then some. Westwood holds most of its’ inventory in a separate warehouse and their on-​line store (
) supplies customers everywhere.
Secondly, there’s the customer service. I met with a man named Bruce, who is one of the most knowledgeable, professional, and informative experts I’ve met in a long time, but the best part was that he isn’t a complete and utter snob when it comes to his customers. He helped me find everything I was looking for, and gave me objective advice on each product I asked about and in the end I couldn’t have been more pleased.
When it came time for the bill (keep in mind, I’d bought a lot of things) I expected to briefly lose my breath, as is tradition when buying equipment at a specialty store, but I almost passed out when I saw that not only was the price better than any other store here in San Diego, but he gave me a healthy discount on my personal racquet although it wasn’t even necessary!
Westwood Sports promises to beat any advertised price, and this is one of the few times that I can actually believe it. All of the employees in the store are friendly, and the service is efficient, and professional regardless of how busy it is. (Tip, if you need a lot of attention it’s best not to go on Monday because it can be a madhouse. What recession?)
If you need advice on coaches, places to play, or leagues, they can help you there as well with objective opinions, unlike asking someone who works in the pro shop of a Tennis Club.
If you’re interested in playing Tennis, at any level, this is by far the only place you should go.
