77 14th St, Hermosa Beach“Such a cool setup and the women who was working was so inviting, knowledgable, and upbeat! (i think her name started with a J, she said she started working there 3 weeks ago) Made my family want to start playing!”
“Always pleasant and knowledgeable and good selection of books to read on subject for a beginner and pro…. Plus I bought a good cue there that I love and still using 3 yrs later”
“Amazing help on a Sunday afternoon — I was buying a helmet and got a great option on sale, but learned a lot about my choices from this really great sales associate (idk his name, but it was like 3pm and I just bought a used bike — you know who you are!!). Got me setup with a breakdown kit, talked me through bike maintenance materials and even their Saturday riding group. Such a great spot, will definitely be going back whenever I need anything!”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Beach Tennis shop in Lomita, and I must say, their level of expertise and helpfulness truly impressed me. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, and it was evident that the staff here are seasoned professionals in the world of tennis. The team at Beach Tennis demonstrated a deep knowledge of the sport, and they were more than willing to share their expertise with me. They patiently answered all my questions and provided valuable insights into choosing the right equipment, from rackets to accessories. Their willingness to take the time to understand my needs and preferences made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. What impressed me the most about my experience at Beach Tennis Shop in Lomita was their commitment to troubleshooting any issues I had, especially considering my struggles with tennis elbow. They took the time to understand the challenges posed by my tennis elbow and patiently addressed any concerns I had related to it. Together, we explored different options, tried out various rackets with features designed to mitigate the risk of exacerbating my condition, and discussed potential adjustments to optimize my equipment for minimal strain on my arm. Their dedication to helping me find the ideal solutions, taking into account my specific condition, was evident throughout the process. Not only will they help you through your specific issues, but they will deliver a consistent, quality, stringing every time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, this shop is a haven for tennis enthusiasts seeking top-notch service and expertise in every aspect of the game. I'm convinced that Beach Tennis is the best Tennis shop in the South Bay, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach area.”
“Found them online while looking for workout equipment. Visited their showroom and was pleased with the variety and condition of the equipment they had. Sales rep was also very informative. Purchased a treadmill and had it delivered within a couple of days. Daniel and Leo delivered the treadmill into my living room being very careful not to damage the equipment or my property - complete professionals.”
“I am running the LA Marathon this March and desperately needed to have my feet mapped and get new shoes. Shay helped me out from start to finish! They were absolutely fantastic; they answered all of my questions and gave me lots of great feedback/information on what running is all about! Cannot recommend highly enough- will definitely be going back! Purchased a pair of Glycerin 21s that feel like they were made for me. Thanks Shay!”
“What a team and shop! They were so informative and helpful. They took their time to find the best fit for our needs. This is our new go to shop for running shoes.”
“Bought uniforms for our youth team. Owner was extremely helpful, responsive and on time with the timeline we gave him to have logos and numbers on all jerseys. Great store!”
“The Swim Guy is by-far the best place to get individual and team all sorts swim equipment for the pool and ocean. They have the cheapest prices for suits, goggles, fins and all kinds of swim training equipment. This is the one stop shop for every swimmer I know. As a long time customer they have also given me freebies like fin leashes and Swim Guy goggles. The goggles in particular are great and vastly superior to the vanquisher goggles I have previously used.”
“Best service ever and I went there just to look at frames but they had the optometrist on site she provided info and service I never got at a regular optometrist clinic ! Very helpful thank you vanessa!!!!”
9AM - 9PM
14901 Hawthorne Blvd, Lawndale“I love how the employees at this store don't follow you around. Plus they let my dog inside with me. Good workers and there is one guy I always see him going the extra mile for customers.”
10:30AM - 6PM
1952 Pacific Coast Hwy, Lomita“We were recommended by a friend to restring my sons tennis racquet. We also bought new grips. He did the restring really fast and offered to put the new grips for free. He's a very nice fella. We will come back definitely.”
9AM - 8PM
1630 CA-1, Hermosa Beach“I came in to look for a soft top for my daughter's fifth birthday at the end of the month. I found the perfect board, but they said they could only hold it for 4 to 5 days. The manager (I'm disappointed b/c I can't remember her name right now even though she told me her name) and I started talk about my daughter amongst other things and the manager said, "You know what, we'll hold the board so she can have it for her birthday." It's people like her and at Jack's that make this world a better place to live. Many alohas to the manager tonight and all the staff.”
“I've been going to Racquet Swingers since 2006. I played competitive tennis and had wrist surgery, so I had to learn all new technique to adjust to my new situation. I learned from Tony, which was one of the best decisions I've made for tennis and in life. He was a very seasoned junior and still one of the most talented players I have come across in my life. He's an excellent teacher--take private lessons from him and LISTEN. You won't regret it I'm obviously much older now, but my technique and mechanics are still incredibly sound. No matter how much time I am away from the sport, it doesn't even take a full hitting session for me to hit better than most who play everyday.As a shop, it's humble and about community. There's a reason why I haven't gone to racquet clubs. Tennis has been known for it's exclusivity, which is NOT what RS is about. It's about making tennis available to everyone, which is why I come and stay here. It's accessible, affordable, and welcoming. Plus...I love getting my racquets strung here. They're fast, reliable, I know they do it right and...they're really cool people.”
“This is a great community store staffed by knowledgeable local runners. I have probably bought ten pairs of shoes from them and always been happy with their staff assistance, quality, and value.”
9AM - 8:30PM
529 S Gaffey St, San Pedro“Love that this is here in San Pedro. Went in to get a season parking pass for the national forests. The store is very clean and the employees were very nice and attentive.”
“Good deals, nice staff, easy parking. First trip to WSS and they had what we needed and for a good deal. This was a great location that had enough staff to help out and make sure we could find what we were looking for.”
“I love my glove! I got this glove for my 12th birthday - I am 42. It has been with me through countless baseball and softball games, or just having a catch - though I am not too fond of that expression - I like to say let's play catch. But I will never argue with Kevin Costner.But the glove was showing some wear and tear obviously after three decades. And my daughter Jordan - she's 8 - decided she wanted to start playing softball and she's good! Naturally athletic and made the All-Star team. I told her we could play catch any time. So we have...a lot. She pitches to me regularly and I kept looking down at my sad glove. So I did a little research and came across Baseball Glove Repairs.I think my "tune up" was around $100 with shipping, but got re-laced and cleaned up. Even selected the black laces - for some style! It was super easy - I emailed the company, they sent over all info and answered a few questions. I shipped the glove out to them, they confirmed receipt and sent me their Venmo info. I paid and they sent over the tracking code for my glove. I think I shipped it on Friday and got it back on Tuesday.Now forgive me - I have to run - gotta go have a catch with my daughter.”
“My partner and I got our very first Scuba certification (Open Water) at Pacific Wilderness and only have positive things to say! Every single person we came into touch with through their business was knowledgeable, thorough, and super supportive. Everyone from my in-class/pool instructor (Josue), the people who helped me at the shop (Chabo + DJ), and all the dive instructors (Matt, Jacob, Linden, Mark, Andrew, Josh) that assisted us during our first ocean dive were so genuinely kind! You can tell everyone is passionate about diving - they all had such great stories to share. I had challenges and a lot of fear with the mask clearing skills and the instructor was really understanding and patient with me. I felt like we were in good hands the whole time. If you’re thinking about getting your certification or are hesitating going for it, I would definitely recommend coming here! I feel like you’re coming to a community here. We’ll be coming here for all our diving needs!Also, I’m a bargain hunter and I’m pretty sure the prices for all the items they sell in store are the lowest you can buy them compared to anywhere else so that also made me happy :)”
“This store always has a great selection of new and used sporting goods. We've found everything from wet suits to soccer cleats to golf gear. Very knowledgeable and friendly salespeople make it a great place to shop. Highly recommend.”
“You must be patient after you place an order - have faith. These are the very best boxing gloves in the world. Mr. Kazumichi is a man that should be sincerely thanked and treated respectfully for everything he has given to boxing.”
“I picked up pickleball in the last year and started playing competitively in a couple larger tournaments. I was using Nike tennis shoes which didn't last me very long. I had a tournament one Saturday out in Fountain Valley so thankfully this shop opened early enough for me to grab a pair of shoes. The worker even opened up the shop 5-10 minutes earlier for me and was super helpful and knowledgeable on different tennis shoes I should look into. Just from our interaction in 5 minutes I was able to pick out a shoe and head out to my tournament. I highly recommend checking out this shop as they are always stocked and give off great value! Til this day, I am still using my tennis shoe that the worker recommended me. If you are looking for tennis shoes, please go check them out before going to a big name sporting goods!”
“Great customer service, great owner, and friendly employees! They have a variety of apparel, masks, and sportswear for larger sizes. They carry cute baby sportswear and some apparel in women's sizes as well.”
“Been trying to get time to check this place out. Wife needed good shoes for her Peloton Bike...ordering online sucks. For starters...they show opening time 10am...we for there slightly early and they still welcomed us in. Jerry and Howie were friggen awesome! Very knowledgeable, personable, didn't try and sell her the most expensive shoe ...but the most appropriate shoe for her needs. Asked Jerry some questions about our daughters E-Bikes...they have a huge repair area. And damn their selection of bikes and accessories is astounding. Again...made us feel right at home ...very sincere and legit place. Will be back 4 sure.”
“A warranty is only as good as the company behind it. My son's LAX head broke and it was still under warranty. Submitted a claim to StringKing and it was approved within an hour. Got the replacement head ordered and it'll be here in a few days. Easy, painless process. It's great when companies stand by their products and take care of their customers. Thank you, StringKing”
“One of the larger, more "open space" stores nearby, makes casual shopping easier, less claustrophobic like some other Big 5 stores...friendly, helpful staff...”
10AM - 8PM
2545 Pacific Coast Hwy A, Torrance“We walked in and I found the pair I wanted in 2 minutes. Tried em on and done! My boyfriend used his discount online/in-store purchase and I made out like a bandit!!!”
“I went there for my mother who was uncomfortable with her feet to buy shoes, and the young man in charge of us was so kind that he explained to my mother in detail and found me a suitable shoe to wear comfortably. Thank you so much.”
