Awesome little spot. Just picked up tennis again and wanted a little guidance in selecting a racket. I was helped by Rick who is very patient and knowledgable. They measured my grip and asked me questions about my playing style. They let you take rackets home to try for $ 5 a day (can be applied to your purchase) and this was so helpful. Competitive pricing too so I will definitely continue to come back here as I progress in the sport.

Seemed like a nice place, but was surprised when my 14 year old beginner kid popped a string on a racquet they restrung after about 5 hours of use, and they wouldn’t redo it without charge. When asked if they had any tips on how to avoid this problem in the future, one guy joked «don’t play as much». While he cracked himself up, I didn’t appreciate the smart comment nor the unprofessional response. Oh well. Racquet Doctor in Glendale it is for us.

The expertise, knowledge, quality, and customer service at Westwood Sporting Goods are exceptional. They do their homework on the best products, and that’s what they stock. Tell them what you need and they’ll help you find it. They can advise you on a custom string job and get it done. There’s a reason they have a loyal clientele.

This is a special place… The level of expertise and customer service from Rick, Joseph and the rest of the staff are unmatched. Just recently got back into the game after years off and couldn’t be happier/​luckier that I found this place. From their generous demo program to their incredible knowledge/​expertise and their extremely friendly, fast and passionate customer service, this is now my go to spot for all my tennis needs.

This place is nice with a super-​fast (less than 24 hour) turnaround. Stringing machines are right up front and I got the sense that there is hardly a moment when they’re not being used. Everyone was super pleasant.
This store seems to pretty much have anything you need and it’s nice seeing shops like this around town, especially on the westside, where your only choice is Sport Chalet.
You get what you pay for. This is a quality shop and you’re just not going to find to many of them around.
***Update***
Played with the racket today. Everything felt really good.

Rick is so nice and so knowledgeable. He had great advice for me when I was switching racquets and quickly guided me to the right one. He has an amazing selection of demo racquets and the best prices even compared to the internet.

I’ve had racquets strung all over the world, but haven’t found the expertise and quality that Rick and his crew offer. As a result, I’d save racquets while living in NYC and abroad until I return to LA in order to have them strung here. No nonsense, hard core pro shop.

Very helpful staff, lets you borrow rackets as a demo and no pressure to buy. Have a full assortment of rackets and other sport related items. What sets them apart is their service, which you can’t find at a big retailer like Big 5 or Sports Authority. If you need a racket to buy or any other tennis item they will definitely help you and find out what is best for you. I am glad stores like this still exist in the US and the big retailers haven’t pushed them all out yet.

Great selection of tennis racquets. Very knowledgeable employees that helped we pick out the right fit and strings. Thanks

Super nice folks here. Stringing is done quickly. Price seems similar to what I’ve paid elsewhere, and they don’t seem to push any particular brand on you (unlike other shops that’ve gone out of business since). Rick also remembers my racquets (I do have some unusual ones)! They’re also pretty generous w/​the demos (esp once they get to know you).
Support local small businesses!

Been out of the tennis game for a while but my comeback tour officially began here when I picked up three demo racquets. (Three is the standard amount here.)
I think it was $ 5 if you returned it like three days later or something which is pretty reasonable haha. They seem to have all the current primo racquets in stock, but not in stock for the demo program, though they offered similar sticks which got the job done.
Nice people, seem to know their stuff. The $ 5 will also be credited back to you from the demo program if you buy a racquet from them. Schweet.

Great customer service. The owner (Rick?) is the nicest guy and knows a lot about tennis racquets. The best part about him is he never talks about money and almost seems embarassed to tell you the costs. Great racquets for demo and they can tell you about grips, racquet weight, strings all of that stuff. You won’t spend more than you have to.
I wish they were open late but I can only imagine he values his family as much as he values tennis racquets. Customer for life.

Great friendly guys!
Let’s you try out rackets forever and even doesn’t raise a brow if you decide to not buy for the moment (I wanted to wait for end of season but then got injured). If I would be playing tennis currently, I would always go to this store for my tennis-​related business. Alas, I’m still in physical therapy.

These guys are the best. They let me demo multiple rackets for free for a month before purchases my racket. Also they know everything there is to know

Rick is the friendliest owner ever! Am I bias because I worked their in highs chool? ay e, but I’m not alone.
Prices are very reasonable and you’re getting service /​stringing from the best in the game. I’d never go anywhere else, so neither should you.

Incredibly quick turnaround on re-​stringing. Great selection of strings. Loads of racquets to demo. Very friendly staff.
I dropped off a racquet at 1130am on a busy holiday weekend and it was ready for pickup 4 hours later. Before I discovered this place I had been taking my sticks to Sports Authority, but it took them 2 – 3 weeks.
If you live on the Westside this is the place to go.

After 20 years of «taking a break» from tennis I picked my tennis racket up again about 2 and half years ago. From the get go this was my shop. Staff knows what they are talking about, good stringing, great selection and one can find some incredible deals on demo rackets.

Was playing tennis at Westwood Tennis Center next to UCLA and strings broke. The guys I was playing with recommended Westwood Sporting Goods and I’m glad that they did. I met Rick and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He strings for a lot of the pros in the area and has all the best equipment to do the best job possible.
I would totally give this place 5 stars but the price is a little higher than I’m use to paying. I guess if you want to quality stringing, you have to pay for it…“you get what you pay for” really comes to mind here.
Ultimately I got my racket restrung here and it was one of the best string jobs I’ve gotten in the past few years. The strings were straight and clean with no shadowing from the clamps. Was happy I came here.

Competitive prices, best stringers, cheap racket demos… Actually I’ve never been charged for a demo! Rick & co know their $h!t!
I’ve bought 2 rackets there & will keep coming back!

I’m about to start my first tennis lessons and my friend procured a racket for me, but whoever put a grip on it didn’t do it right. I was going to get a grip off of
assuming the prices would be best there. Life got in the way and I ran out of time to have it shipped to me before I needed to use the racket. I went over to this little shop to check it out and I couldn’t have made a better decision! Not only were the prices just as good, the shop owner was super helpful and let a beginner like me feel out the different kind of grips (they have a ton of rackets ready for you to try) and answered my questions about grip vs. overgrip. When I made my choice, he expertly applied the grip for me at no extra charge.
Excellent knowledge and attitude! This will definitely be my shop as my tennis needs grow.
