    Most Knowledgeable, Passionate, and Professional Team & Staff at any Tennis Store I have ever experienced.

    Robert C.

    I've been playing tennis regularly since 1981, and league tennis since 1997 in the South Bay, but have only been to Swetka's a handful of times. Why so few times? Here's why. Got a notice in the mail of Swetka's store wide July 4 sale, with 10%-40% off. Checked out their clothing, looking for men's tennis shorts, but found the only items 40% off were certain women's apparel. About 5 years ago, I got a used Prince 110 Silver O Ring racquet used at Swetka's during a sale, and loved it. Unfortunately all the tennis manufacturers bring out new racquets and discontinue old racquets, as part of their marketing. The Silver O Ring racquet is no longer manufactured. I looked over their used racquets, and asked if they had anything similar. The store assistant brought out two racquets, but they were not Prince racquets, so I didn't buy them. In fact Swetka's doesn't sell new Prince racquets anymore, based on their website. One of my fellow tennis players just purchased a new Yonex tennis racquet at Swetka's, after being in the demo program for ages. The guy was 80 years old, and we wondered if he would live to see the day he got out of the demo program! Checked out the top of the line tennis shoes, and all were $100+, and only 10% off during the sale. Ended up getting basic Dunlop tennis balls at $1.99 each, limit 6 cans. Went over to Big 5 Sporting Goods, and used a $10 off minimum $30 coupon purchase to get 9 cans of top of the line Penn ATP tennis balls, normally $3.50 a can, but now $2.39 a can with the mailer coupon. Drove 4.5 miles back to Sunnyvale Tennis Center, and the Lifetime Tennis Pro Shop. Found some Head Revolt 2.5 tennis shoes, originally $119 (current price on Amazon), discounted to $85, and now marked down to $53 for July 4th only. Added it to my collection of 5 pairs of shoes purchased here in the past 4 years originally $89-$119, and purchased for $50-$59 at Lifetime Tennis. Goes to show that Lifetime Tennis in Sunnyvale discounts tennis shoes, tennis clothes and tennis racquets much more than Swetka's. Of course there is a reason the tennis shoes and clothes are severely discounted at Lifetime tennis. If you see me in men's red and white tennis shoes and a bright red long sleeve tennis shirt (for protection from the sun) , I'm not crossdressing, but simply wearing the shoes and clothes that were on sale. Wore the red tennis shoes to the court one day, and someone asked if it came with wheels and bright lights, as you see on kid's shoes! It is what it is.

    Posting this as a cautionary tale for anyone buying shoes at Dick's Sporting Goods - Sunnyvale…read more This would have been a one star rating if not for Xavier in Footwear. Excellent service and attitude. I bought a pair of On Cloud shoes and within 5 days realized they were too big. The issue only showed up in real-world use: when walking downhill my foot slid forward into the toe box. That's not something you reliably catch by taking a few steps indoors. I went back to do a simple exchange (not a refund). The shoes were clean and in excellent condition. The only visible difference was very slight yellowing on the outsole contact pads -- noticeable under their bright store lighting but not dirty, or damaged. At first I was told the exchange would be fine. After further inspection, they reversed course and said the shoes were not "resaleable" due to wear. I spoke with multiple people (each initially identifying themselves as "the manager" before clarifying their role), and after a lot of back and forth the best options offered were: * 15% off a replacement pair, or * $60 store credit as a "no receipt return" value (they said this reflects the lowest recent selling price and excludes clearance). I ultimately took the $60 credit because my time is worth something and I needed the correct size. But the key takeaway is this: If you buy shoes here, assume you cannot test them outdoors -- even briefly -- without risking being denied an exchange. The 90-day return policy sounds generous, but in practice footwear appears to need to look completely unworn to qualify. I'm sharing this so others don't make the same assumption I did.

My boyfriend and I came in to return a pair of shoes, but we were apparently confused about the return/exchange policy--or perhaps it wasn't explained clearly when we originally purchased them. We were under the impression that returns and exchanges could be made within 90 days of purchase. When we arrived, we were told that our shoes could only be exchanged, not returned. That wasn't the issue. Once the policy was explained, we understood it. What made the experience frustrating was the attitude we received from multiple employees. The staff kept repeating the policy over and over, and it started to feel less like they were helping us understand and more like they were talking down to us. One sales associate, Vlad, was especially condescending. He compared our situation to buying a used car, driving it around, scratching it up, and then expecting a full refund. He repeatedly pointed out scuffs on the shoes, even after we acknowledged and understood the policy. The comparison felt unnecessary, and his tone came across as rude rather than helpful. Later, after Vlad went on break, we were assisted by Chris at the register. He was able to process the exchange onto a gift card, which we appreciated, but he also seemed to be in a bad mood and wasn't particularly friendly. Maybe it was just an off day for the staff, but the overall customer service at this location was disappointing. If you have the option, I'd recommend going to the Campbell location instead. I've consistently had much better experiences there.

Although staff was helpful to her in her search for shoes, what made the entire experience terrible was how hard staff pushed us toward purchasing a membership. One staff member assisting my wife initially had done the sales pitch, and we listened willingly. Later on, another person gave the same sales pitch to my wife, and she kindly told her that she's already been told about the membership. When we went to the check-out counter, the person at the counter started giving the same sales pitch about the membership. I immediately cut her off, my wife told her that she has already been told about it, and I said "no thank you." The person at the counter again tried to give the pitch, and I cut her off again and said "no thank you." For a third time, she tried to resume the sales pitch. I got ticked and gave her a stern response: "NO PLEASE!" She finally stopped. That entire experience left a bad impression on me, and I wasn't sure if this type of thing was specific to just the REI in Sunnyvale (I normally don't shop at REI). So I did some research online and found out that this type of thing happens commonly among various REI stores. I even found an online article from 2015 that talked about this, even citing the CEO of REI who gave a response regarding this matter of pushing memberships. He came across as being understanding of this matter. But that was back in 2015. it's now 2026, and obviously nothing has changed relating to this. I'm not returning to REI after what I experienced yesterday. They've lost any potential future business from me. If they can't accept an initial "no" answer and thus continue to push the sale of a membership, they've lost my respect and my business. And should anyone from REI choose to respond to this post, it's not changing anything from me relating to REI.

The place is larger than it seems from the outside, with multiple rooms and aisles of toys and gifts for all ages.

Everything well organized into different sections, and even each section thoughtfully organized too. Such as the jigsaw puzzles labeled by number of pieces and age appropriate, making it easy for customers to find what they need. The selection of games and puzzles was extraordinary, with so many unique options, I wanted to get something for myself! But I have self-control.
