Tony really took the time to understand my play style and gave honest, thoughtful recommendations -- not just a sales pitch. You can tell he knows his stuff and genuinely wants players to feel confident with their gear. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole process feel effortless. If you're looking for someone who actually listens and knows tennis inside out, Tony's your guy. Thanks again!

Let me start with saying that I am a gal who does NOT run. But I am a beginning walker with new…read morefitness goals in mind. I have been walking in these inexpensive Adidas I got at Costco for years now, and since I've been upping my activity level recently they have begun to completely break down and I decided it was time for a pair of "big girl" shoes. I walked in on a random weekday and was greeted by Brittany who finished up with the customer ahead of me and then spent the next probably hour giving me one-on-one attention because lucky for me, it wasn't a busy day at the store. She first put me on the analysis machine to see what my foot length/size is, my arch, heel width and a bunch of other details I don't even recall but apparently they all play a role in finding the right shoe. We discussed what my typical usage would be (like pavement vs trail running), what issues I have currently, and then she brought 3-4 pairs out for me to get started. I felt like a kid in Payless in the 90s running up and down the aisle to prove to my mom that the shoes fit. After each pair I shared with Brittany how they felt, what I did and didn't like, whether my heel was slipping out the back etc and she'd run to the back and grab a couple more options. We probably made it through 10 different pairs before I finally settled on one that I really liked. Side note, I really appreciate that throughout the entire process, there was absolutely zip-zilch-nada-ZERO pressure to make a purchase. I've heard horror stories from friends about other running stores, which is another reason I've avoided going to one in the past, especially since I'm a total newbie and have zero knowledge of my own to make a choice, I was worried I'd be swayed in the wrong direction. They didn't have the shoe I liked in my color preference and size on-hand, nor was it at any of the two closest stores, so Brittany was able to special order my shoes for me from the warehouse and have them shipped directly to me at no cost. She shared their return/exchange policy and I was on my way. Brittany made the whole experience such a fun and painless process - I wish I had come here sooner! Now I can officially retire my treadless, falling-apart-at-the-seams cheapie shoes and move forward with my new goals in my fancy new shoes. I will definitely be back!

However, you will find something and she will order a different color etc...if she can. That's what she did for me. :) Pay attention to the store hours too as they are not open long days.

I stopped by yesterday to purchase some gear and in my excitement at finding…read morea local place where I could talk squash, I inadvertently managed to offend the owner, Sunny, who proceeded to treat me like I had typhoid fever. Really unpleasant interaction. So I went back today to apologize for whatever I did that she found so offensive and to let her know that I really did want to support a local business and at least come to some sort of rapprochement. Her response was to accept my apology and tell me effectively that the great thing about America is that she can react to me however she damn well pleases. And she's totally correct. I'd go out of my way to avoid purchasing from her. And unless you've a knack for walking on tenterhooks around prickly proprietors, I'd advise the same. They did do a bang-up job of regripping my racket, and they have a great selection of gear for racket sports though. Really wish my experience hadn't been so acrimonious. Well I see Sunny reads her reviews... I placed the racket I had planned to purchase back on the counter after being treated as though Sunny wiped me off the sole of her feet. She proceeded to throw the receipt for my purchase at me. I'd just refer everyone to the sheer volume of people whose experience mirrors mine. The reviews make for convincing reading. Or maybe it's all me. Yeah, that's it.

Their warranty page on their website was down for the longest time and is I pay our of pocket to get them fixed again they will send me 2 dozen tp5 balls to cover the cost. That's not covering the cost cause I'm still paying balls I don't need then. They should replace the irons if it's happened twice imo. Or send a loaner set for me to play with. Thanks
