Tennis on Selby

I brought a racquet in to get restrung with Luxilon Alu Power. Picked it up a few days later and it had Big Banger in it. I was playing a tournament and can’t hit that string. I e-​mailed the owner who said they could restring it right away with what I wanted. A big inconvenience, but I drove back dropped it back off and ran a few errands. I got a call from the stringer 15 minutes later saying they actually don’t have the Luxilon Alu Power, but the Alu Power Rough (definitely a difference). He offered to put that in which I accepted because I needed it for my match that day. I made the compromise but hated the string. I’m going to get it restrung at my normal place, Michael Lynn’s who always gets it right. As a business, don’t tell me you have a string, switch to something else randomly, then not even have it in the first place and still charge me full price. Shouldn’t you know your inventory? Also the reason I came was for the master stringer who wasn’t there both the times I was in the store. They did have a decent selection of racquets for demo and some nice apparel (mostly women’s). I want my tennis store to be full service, and as often as I string my 3 racquets, I’ll stick to Michael Lynn’s.

This is the cutest tennis shop I have ever been to. Nice and girly decoration. They have a wide range of rackets from brands such as Prince, Wilson, Balbolat, etc. They offer all services that a regular tennis shop does. I love those cute tennis accessories, they make me want to buy them all. The staff are really friendly and give me good rackets to demo. The clothes section gives me a feeling of a clothing boutique for women. Definitely come back in the future for my tennis gears.

What a cute little tennis boutique in the cutest little shopping district in the 651!
Tennis on Selby has a high-​end feel. That said, the apparel selection was decent for such a small store and they had a solid sales rack on the floor too. I saw most of the typical tennis brands (K-​Swiss and such), plus a few I wasn’t familiar with.
In addition to tennis clothes, shoes, bags and accessories, they also offer re-​stringing and have a whole wall of racquets, including demos that you can borrow to decide which to buy.
The shop lady (who I assume was one of the owners) left me to explore after greeting me and asking if I needed anything. I like that — helpful, but not on top of you.
While I didn’t find a new tennis skirt the other day, I hope to get back there once spring really rolls around and see what the new season drags in.
P. S. This might sound biased, but I also really appreciate that this store is owned by two women, since sporting goods are historically a man’s game. Just sayin’. :)
