Racquet Edge

If you are new to tennis, the first time you walk in maybe felt embarrassed, but is ok, people in there are nice. If you know tennis, that place is a paradise, lots of rackets, love it.

A small and somewhat cluttered shop, The Racquet Edge carries a very large variety of basically anything and everything needed to outfit any tennis player, both seasoned and new to the court.
At first glance, this place is a bit overwhelming and slightly confusing — there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to its layout and feels strangely messy and somewhat uncomfortable while walking among all the merchandise. The shop owner is a quiet guy [at least during my visit] and helped to recommend me a new set of strings and ideal tension for my style of play. So long as you tell him what you need, he’ll help you find what you’re looking for in the shop.
An excellent shop, prices aren’t too high, and the owner keeps the transaction between you and him short and to the point — no funny business to be found here. I can see myself coming back again when I need to restring my racquet.

Great selection of racquets, tennis shoes, and etc. They string your racquet under 1 hour!

Fast service

Got our badminton racket here. The price here charges about 10 dollars more than Id you order online. There are usually deals online but racket edge sells the sale price of rackets
That being said the owner here was very helpful. He assisted us on the choice of rackets as well as told us about string tension. After we got the racket he even helped us put on the grip, which looked absolutely perfect. Afterwards he showed us how to use the racket and even practiced hitting the birdie to show us where the racket sweet spot is .
Great experience and very helpful in badminton/​tennis maintenance. Owner looks angry but he’s very helpful and nice hahahaa

The owner, Jason, is the most unfriendly, unhelpful shop owner that I know. If you simply walk into the store to buy something and not ask questions, he’ll just quietly do the transaction with you, without a smile, without any comments. If you start to ask a few questions, his responses are very terse. If you ask too many questions, he starts getting annoyed.
I have friends who also visited this store, and Jason treats them the same way. He even told a friend of mine to leave the store because he thought that my friend didn’t know much about tennis (which is true because she is new to tennis, but shouldn’t you patiently educate her?).
The only reason he stays in business is that his racquet prices are good and he does a decent job of stringing.
But he has the worst customer service, and I think people should stay away.

Great place for all your tennis needs. Tons of rackets and accessories. The service is on point and Jason will work with getting you the perfect set-​up for a great time on the court.

This is a little Korean owned racquet shop at the corner of the plaza next to Mt. Sac. It’s hard to imagine, but racquet prices here are cheaper than buying online (even when on discount). The only thing is stringing cost is pretty high so if you bought a new racquet and have it strung, it would probably cost the same as buying the same setup from TW or some other online retailer since they price their racquets higher and stringing cost is low. However, it’s nice to have a brick and mortar store where you can physically feel and touch what you’re about to buy. So it’s a still a win-​win for the customer at the end.

I first came here with my bff to have an old racquet re-​wrapped a year ago. The guys were friendly and showed us around the shop and in addition to having my racquet re-​wrapped we also ended up buying another racquet for my friend (they gave us a good deal)… When we went home we unwrapped the handle and the wrap was yucky and coming off. We went back and the owner re wrapped it free (great costumer service)!!!
So recently I came in here with my mom and bought 2 new racquets! Owner threw in over wrap and even put it on for us My mom loved the guys! We will always return here and are looking forward to next years tournament! Highly recommended to anyone beginner or advanced

Let’s start off by saying that Unilocal’s 1 Star rating is too generous for this place.
I was in this place about 6 months ago and was so unhappy with the service that I felt the need to publish my disappointment. I read the good reviews on Unilocal and thought they deserved my business rather than an online retailer since I own several brick and mortar businesses myself. I took a 35 minute drive to get here and was not once greeted by the two men working there that day. And there was only one customer in the store, sitting in a beach chair watching TV with the owner of the shop. After browsing around for 10 minutes, I finally walked up to the employee who was leaning again the counter, also watching TV and asked for help. It was my friend’s 50^th birthday and I wanted to buy him (5) Wilson Pro Staff 95 and a couple of reels of Lux ALU Rough. I asked the salesman how much of a discount could I get if I bought 5 – 6 racquets and wanted to verify they had the grip size I needed in stock. He told me he had to talk to the owner, who was sitting about 3 feet from us!!! The owner didn’t introduce himself, but rather said «I give you price when you ready to buy» and he didn’t even have the courtesy to take his eyes off the TV!!!
Ready to buy!!! Why am I here!!! Unbelievable!!! I left immediately and called The Racquet Doctor, which by the way may be a bit further, but the prices are better and the service is much better than this pathetic excuse for a tennis shop. Unfortunately, they didn’t have them in stock so I phoned my order into Tennis Warehouse. I was greeted kindly and they of course had the racquets and strings in stock ready to ship out the next day. The salesman even recommended a very nice Wilson 9 pack bag that he thought would complete the gift nicely. I ended up buying a couple of reels of B5E for myself and a couple of pairs of Courtballistecs 4.3, which I love BTW. I ended up spending a little over $ 2,000 after a good discount.
Since that day I have not been back to the Racquet Edge and have told everyone at my club to ban this place. Store owners need to learn that it’s the customer service that keeps a loyal consumer.
To wrap things up. Tennis Warehouse for convenience, one day shipping in California. To support your local retailer, go to the Racquet Doctor in Glendale or Tennis Pro Shop in Little Saigon. BUT whatever you do don’t give these guys your hard earned money.
I have also bought many more racquets as gift since that day, for my sister, nephews, friends children, etc. I love the game of tennis and promote the sport every opportunity I get. So needless to say, I usually give the gift of TENNIS.

Over the past few months, i’ve become addicted to Badminton. I started out with some cheap $ 20 rackets, but i’ve found it necessary to start purchasing better equipment. I’ve ordered rackets online, but always feel guilty as I love supporting local mom and pop shops. I randomly stumbled upon Racquet Edge online and decided to drop by on my way home from a client’s office.
While the Badminton section is pretty small, the store has high quality Yonex gear! I ended up purchasing a Yonex i-​Slash and z-​Slash for well below anything I found online. The prices are so low that I ended up asking the owner if he was sure he wanted to sell a racket for that little.
I’m definitely going to be going back as my friends have started buying my rackets off me lol. Mom and pop shop killing online prices. love it!

I remember coming to this little-​very hidden-​racquet store many many many years ago, and recently I have picked up badminton again, so I thought I’ll try my luck there for some shuttlecocks and racquets.
Amazingly, it is still there!!!
This place has an amazing selection of badminton and tennis racquets, and amazing prices!
I have looked everywhere for a Yonex Arcsaber FB, lowest price was $ 229, but The Racquet Edge has it for way lower! I was able to get the racquet, and got it strung right away. I walked in at 6:45pm, n left as a happy camper at 8pm.

Whoa… is this a tennis pro shop or what?!? I haven’t seen so many brand name racquets, tennis bags, etc. in stock, and these are top-​level pro frames! The prices here are very good compared to other online retailers, and it’s also a good feeling to know that you’re supporting small local independent businesses.
Jason the owner has been in business for a really long time, and he knows what’s up. Also the employees that work there are usually college-​level team players, so they are pretty knowledgeable on the latest gear and trends. I have supported this store for at least +10 years, so they definitely get my vote as BEST INLAND EMPIRE tennis pro shop and perhaps in the lower L.A. County area. When you visit make sure you have enough time, because for the tennis fan, they have EVERYTHING!

I’m new to tennis, but Jason went out of his way to help me out. I picked out my first babolat and I couldn’t be happier! Great prices and wonderful customer service! I will totally b back.

I’ve been coming here ever since I was playing Junior tennis.
If I broke a string on my tennis racket during a morning practice, and I needed it for a tournament at 6 pm, I could bring my racket here and it’ll be ready before the tournament.
They have many selection of strings. (I usually get top spin strings).
Jason is a cool owner. he would always ask me: «Pick up your racket tomorrow?» And if I say: «I actually need my racket for today.» He would be alright with it and let me pick up my racket before they close.
I usually just come here to get my racket restrung, pick up some tourna grip, and get a can of tennis balls here. But they do have a good selection of tennis rackets, tennis shoes, and gear here.
Oh yeah. Don’t forget to take off your dampener from your racket if you need to get it restrung. It’ll be lost forever when you go pick it up. lol
Parking: Parking can sometimes suck here.
Will I be back? Yes. When I need to get my racket strung again.

Jason is the owner of Racket Edge. It’s right across from Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC). Racket Edge has a great selection of Tennis Rackets, String and clothing. They have some of the best prices on New Late Model rackets. He also has some Badminton and Racquetball rackets for sale.
Bottomline: If you want the latest racket at a great price, Racket Edge is the place.
Hours: Mon-​Sat 10am to 6pm. He’s sometimes open after hours, so if the door is open, step right in.

So, I bought a Yonex VT60 and decided to get it strung with Nanogy 99. Owner wanted to get my stringing done by around 4. (I believe John was his name.) I realized that I couldn’t had business to do at 4 so I called up the shop and asked them if they could get it done earlier. He said he could get it done around 1. Luckily for him, I was quite patient. He didn’t complete the racket until 2:30. I had to wait about an hour and a half more. Wasn’t really happy about the time it took, but glad he got it done earlier than the expected time.
Prices for badminton gear is incredibly low and under MSRP. Especially the shuttlecocks. Very nice people.
Good place to get gear, but make sure that you know what time you really want your racket strung.

This is the only place I go for my tennis equipment. The prices are the lowest I’ve found and the owner is incredibly friendly and even goes out of his way to be nice to my two children which is a big plus.
The racquet and string selection are incredible and you can be sure you’re getting the actual brand racquets (not the case anymore on eBay). There’s also a suprisingly good selection of men’s and women’s shoes. The only thing I would say they’re light on is tennis clothing.
The owner is very accommodating and has twice ordered things he doesn’t carry for me and both times the pricing was better than online resellers. He is supportive of local tennis and invited me to play with a group of his friends and I also played in the 2011 tennis tournament the shop sponsored and had a great time.
If you like your shop pristine and clean then be ready to have a panic attack because there’s boxes and product everywhere but I find that to be part of its charm.
It’s my shop of choice till I croak or they go out of business.

Owner is very nice one you get to know him. Prices for rackets are always under MSRP. I buy all of my rackets here for the past 9 years. Great prices = me: D

The owner of this store is incredibly unreasonable.
Last year Racquet Edge held a local tournament, and I signed up to play in the singles tournament. A couple of days before the tournament, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and they scheduled an operation on the day of the tournament.
I called the owner up a few days in advance to get a refund, and he simply refused. He stated that my spot in the bracket was already solidified, and unless I found someone to replace me I couldn’t get my money back. As a compromise, I asked him if I could at least get store credit. He still said no.
Just to give some additional information, the prize for my particular bracket was store credit. The other higher categories were the only cash prizes. He was obviously gaining a profit for the tournament, so I don’t understand why he couldn’t at least give me store credit. My situation does not happen every day.
If cheaper prices are what you are looking for, you can always use Ebay. If you feel like shopping here on a Sunday, they are closed.
I wish this was a review on the actual equipment they sell in the store, but I will never buy anything from there because of the bad taste in my mouth left by such terrible customer service.
Edit: A. J, were you in my shoes? Did you hear the conversation I had with the owner? If anybody is ignorant, it’s you judging my personal experience. Of course I’m not taking down this review. If you like the store, by all means shop here.

For #500, it’s gotta be TENNIS!
Across the street from MSAC, sits this tennis shop. It has tennis racquets, badminton racquets, racquetball racquets, shoes, strings (lots), bags, and accessories. There’s a small selection of clothes.
The guy who runs the place is a very nice guy. He’s got two Babolat Star 3 stringing machines and a Prince Neos 1000 stringer as well. (As of 12/​21/​2011, the tennis store has a new Babolat Star 5 stringing machine).
He gives prices below MSRP and does an excellent job of promoting tennis in the area. Give him a try! Some of the best prices for racquets around SGV!
A group of friends usually stops by this store after our Thursday morning tennis in Diamond Bar.
Xie Xie!
