Hapward’s Tennis Shop

Best tennis shop around period. They definitely know what they are talking about here, which is important as i am completely lacking in knowledge of equipment. Definitely more knowledge in this shop than any of the others including the city. Also if you want something they probably have it compared to others, very well stocked. Mostly just wish they were a little closer but worth the drive when i need to make the trek

Very knowledgable, trustworthy, they have a lot of good stuff and seem very dependable. Fred is a character — quirky, witty and friendly. They strung my racket in less than 1 day and also threw in a little freebie because I randomly gave some smart phone tips. Just a good feeling there — I will definitely be back — so much nicer than going to a big sports warehouse type place. And, for smaller women, they seem to have a lot of quality wear in S and XS sizes — lots of variety too.

Best tennis shop in NJ.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They don’t try to upsell you just because there’s a more expensive model — they try to talk about price points and benefits and demerits of each model. They took their time with me and I was impressed with their knowledge.

Just left the place and had to leave a positive review. I’ve been trying to demo a particular racket and they came through in the clutch! Very lax on the demo program. The store is a hidden gem. I thought my navigation system was taking me to the wrong place cause the store is hidden among residential houses. Look for the sign on the front lawn and parking is in the rear.
You need to ring a door bell to get let inside. Rich was very helpful and I did not feel rushed out the store. Wish I could have stayed longer, but the wife called and ruined my adventure lol. Can’t wait to go back after I’m done with my demo. So glad I finally found a real shop outside the city that I can support. So tired of the crappy service at Sports Authority and Dick’s Sporting goods etc. Knowledge and experience is key in this sport and this place definitely has it. Havn’t met Fred yet but I’m looking forward to it.

Tennis heaven. Worth the trip if you are for all sorts of equipments from racquets, shoes, clothing etc… Friendly staff too.

Boutique tennis shop with personal service and expert advice. Large selection of tennis rackets, gear and accessories from all the major brands as well as from some of the lesser known brands. I don’t go there for clothing however they also have a nice selection of apparel for children as well as adults.

I usually do restaurant reviews, but I have to give this place my first 5.
Founded in 1913 as a tennis shop, still continues to be a tennis shop. Fred is a great, knowledgeable tennis fanatic. He knows the trends, he’s humble and super nice. He can talk on and on about tennis. Just go here and try some demos, come visit this hidden shop. Get to talk about how they built a house in front of the store a hundred year ago.
Fred also has the biggest patience ever. Highly competitive prices… some frames are even as low as some of the ebay ones. Gotta give this place a try.

Great staff best Tennis store in Nj Fred really knows his stuff. The old charm of how tennis stores used to be run. Great selection of stuff.

Awesome tennis shop with a great assortment of frames, strings, accessories, and any other tennis needs. They always have the newest models of all the big brands — Babolat, Wilson, Prince, Head. I’ve never asked to see any smaller brands such as Yonex, Dunlop, or Tecnifibre, but I’m pretty sure I’ve at least seen a Dunlop.
Prices are great, especially on older frames on clearance as well as old demo rackets.
Speaking of demos, they are very generous with their demo period; it is free and you can keep it out for a long time. Out of respect for other patrons, it is suggested to keep it for two weeks MAX (one week is generally sufficient).
Fred, the guy who usually works there, is really helpful and nice.
