Real expertise
Al is a USRSA Certified Stringer and Master Racquet Technician. You're not handing your racquet to a part-timer with a stringing machine. He knows what he's doing, and he's happy to explain it.
A local tennis and racquetball shop run by Al. Good gear, honest advice, and the kind of service you can't get from a big-box store or an algorithm.
Al runs the shop himself. He's here most days, knows the regulars by name, and can talk racquets for as long as you're willing to listen.
He's a USRSA Certified Stringer and Master Racquet Technician. That's not a title that comes from watching a few hours of video. It requires passing written and practical exams on stringing mechanics, tension calibration, and racquet physics. He took the time to get it right.
He serves tennis players and racquetball players — all levels, all ages. Whether you're picking up a racquet for the first time or you're a competitive player chasing a rating, you'll get the same honest attention.
Not hype. Just things that are true and that matter to players.

Borrow up to two racquets at a time, free of charge, for up to three days. Try them on the court before you buy. It's the best way to know a racquet actually fits your game — not just feels good in a store.
The site features actual customers — tennis and racquetball players from the community. Not stock photos. Not generic imagery. Real people who play here. Photos are published only with the player's okay.
Most shops pick one sport. Al covers both. Beginners who've never held a racquet and competitive players who know exactly what they want — everyone gets the same honest help.
Tennis For Fun offers free tennis clinics for athletes with special needs. Al runs these clinics because the sport should be open to everyone — not just players who can afford the gear.
The shop accepts donations of gently used racquets, balls, shoes, and athletic clothing. Al restrings and regrips donated equipment free of charge, then donates it to program participants.
If you have gear sitting in a closet, bring it in. It'll get back on a court.
Donated racquets and grips are restrung and regripped free of charge before going to program participants.
Walk-ins are welcome. If you have questions before you come in, give Al a call. He's usually there.
