Do not shop here. As if Brad Gilbert wasn't rich enough he feels compelled to price his products and services far above what they are worth. For example $100 for a pair of shoes that can be purchased for $60 at another tennis shop less than a mile away...or $40 for a string job that should cost $20. It wouldn't be so bad if the shop provided expert service above and beyond any other but they don't. The people running the Tennis Nation act as if their customers should feel privileged for being able to shop there. The reality is their customer service is truly sub-par. Their stringer, Patrick, provided me with maybe the WORST string job I have ever had. The manager at the store, Devin, informed me that he wasn't keeping track of my store credit when I went in to redeem a gift certificate!!!! \r

If the Tennis Nation represents Brad Gilbert's idea of excellence, it's no wonder he can't hold down a coaching job.\r

Shop on-line for your equipment...seek out local independent stringers for your racquet service.
