Dewayne and Debbie always take the absolute best care of me. The entire team is incredibly patient, informative, and supportive, no matter where I am in my decision-making process. There’s never any pressure to make a purchase, which I truly appreciate. They’re genuinely good, knowledgeable people, and the facility has a welcoming, family-like feel.

Amazing selection, service and staff! When you walk into the shop, you feel welcome and even if they are busy (which is a great sign) they will make sure you get all your questions answered. Just picked up my second new racket and have been coming here for stringing over the last few years and continue to be a supporter and fan of E-tennis!

The nicest people at this store. They take the time to listen to your wants and needs and then analyze those comments to provide you with the right product - whether it’s shoes, racquets, paddles or apparel. Highly personable and they enjoy what they do. A nice change of pace in the sports world.

The demo program and the fact that the store is a Yonex retailer is why I decided to visit the store. The demo program is convenient - you essentially have three days to try equipment before you have to return it. This appealed to me since I wanted to invest $250+ in a racquet and I wanted to make sure I found one that felt right.

As far as the customer service goes, it was unacceptably bad in my experience, unfortunately.

The two times that I came in, I had to ask for help. I'd understand if they were busy, but they weren't.

The first time I wasn't even greeted until I asked a question. I signed up for the demo program during my first visit and got two different return dates from two employees. The second employee, an older lady with white hair, was trying to tell me it was due a day earlier than what the first employee told me. When I told her, she got bothered and eventually agreed with the first date that the other employee told me - "If that's what he told you, then that's what we'll do". Kind of rubbed me the wrong way to be honest, but whatever, I wanted to try the racquets out.

The second time I visited the store, ironically enough, the same older lady was the first one I saw and I said hi to her. I proceeded to look at some racquets for my kids and an employee asked us to give him some space to extend some racquet string. While he was doing that right in front of the wall of racquets, I asked him if he worked there as I had a question. He said yes, but that someone towards the cashier area of the store would be better to answer questions about the racquets. Really? You're literally stringing a racquet so I'm sure you know enough to answer which size is best for my kid... I won't dive into the details of the rest of the interactions with the other employees, but needless to say, no one seemed to want to assist a customer. The manager/boss even called out that no one assisted me while I was shopping, and the one employee that I tried to get assistance from earlier even said that yeah it was on him and he would take the blame. Shaking my head as I realized that he could have helped me when I asked him earlier.

Spent $300 on some racquets for my kids and myself here and wasn't even thanked for my purchase - "Here you go Chris" as the manager woman handed me my receipt.

I will not be returning to give them my business. Truly disappointing experience as someone who is excited about purchasing racquets to play tennis.

Friendly staff and demo club is the way to go having the opportunity to try out multiple pickleball paddles before making your purchase. Plus the demo fee gets applied to your purchase!

As a beginner pickleballer playing less than a year Debbie was very patient with me and happy to answer all my questions and provide recommendations based on what I was looking for.

With the same prices as the online retailers, it was nice to get to try before purchasing and support local business.

I had an excellent experience shopping for a racket here. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the choices when I first arrived and they mentioned the demo program which seemed like a good deal. It ended up absolutely being a great deal as I was able to try a wide variety of rackets over a few months. I never felt pressured to buy early and they always took their time explaining the features of each racket. Once I was ready to purchase, Tobias was very helpful in breaking down my top choices and helping me pick the best overall racket for my needs. Overall, I’m really glad I chose to buy a racket here since the prices are competitive with online but you get the added benefit of trying the rackets before you buy.

I purchased a Wilson Blade 98 and the service was outstanding. In particular, Dwayne went out of his way to make sure I had the right racquet and everything I needed. He enlisted the help of his colleagues and helped reaffirm my decision to purchase my tennis equipment at a local shop with people who can give detailed advice.

Excellent shop. I need a new pair of tennis shoes. I like to have a salesperson that can help me find the right pair of shoes. In other words, someone who knows which shoe has a high arch or is wider in the toe or snug at the heel or whatever. etennis is that store.
I told the salesperson my issues, she immediately pulled out a few pairs that she thought would work. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. The whole process was very quick.
While I was there, another couple was trying on shoes as well. They said they drove over from Bradenton because there were no high quality tennis shops near them. This store was probably worth the drive.
They also match prices, which I didn't need for my shoes, but it's good to know for the future. Overall, a great experience and I will return.
