It only took about 2-3 days for them to restring my racket and only 10minutes for them to rewrap my grip. Good prices as well. I'd highly recommend their tennis shop!

You can find sports equipment here that you can't get anywhere else. With that being said, the prices can be high. However, it's a one stop shop.

He offered great advice and made sure we were comfortable with everything. Afterward, we walked around the store and were surprised at how much they have--definitely more than we expected! We'll be back soon just to browse. The checkout line in the front was pretty long when we were leaving, so we were grateful we could check out in the back. Overall, excellent service and a well-stocked store! We did feel the firearm was a good deal, but it's unfortunate we missed the offer for a military discount by one day. The store we shop in for firearms out of town always has a military discount.

EDIT AND UPDATE I…read morewas able to escalate this to Corporate and their Firearms Compliance Department and get it figured out. The ATF requires that with a CWP in SC that is issued to a military member and the address is a home of record address there also needs to be the PCS orders verified along with the DOD CAC and the sale can go through and the customer will be exempt from the background check. It took a while but it got done and people got educated on situations such as this.

I am quite frustrated with my experience with the tennis pro. I was playing a USTA tennis match…read morethis morning out on the courts. The pro comes up and disrupts our match (in the middle of play) asking questions as to why we were out there, how we knew the code, etc. We continued to play and he and his players walked behind us to the court right next to us feeding balls, they were flying everywhere. I returned a ball back to him and he started talking to me like I was a dog, threatening to kick me off the court. My opponent and I came to the decision to suspend this match as he was a MAJOR distraction I was so frazzled I couldn't continue to play. As we were leaving, he comes up and continues to be one of the most disrespectful men I have ever encountered. I will not tolerate a man speaking to me in that manner and will never ever step foot back at Fermata. I could not believe the disrespect and complete rude person. He even went as far to insult my mother. I have played tennis for a long time and quite literally have never experienced this type of unprofessional, incredibly disrespectful, and hateful behavior. He should be truly ashamed of himself.
