Racquet · Long Island City
The pro shop your
game’s been waiting for.
Tour-level stringing and customization, plus a sharply curated tennis and padel shop — inside CityView Racquet Club.
Finally, an address
Racquet Magazine has spent years celebrating the art, ideas, and culture of tennis. The Pro Shop is where all of that gets a room of its own — where the stringing is tour-grade, the gear is curated rather than merely stocked, and the conversation is as good as the equipment. Oh, and all the padel your heart desires, too.
What we do
Everything your racquet needs, under one roof.
Stringing
Tour-level stringing by a Grand Slam master craftsman — just like the pros get.
Customization
Upgrade the stick you love, or find the one you’ve been missing. Weighting, matching, and more.
The Shop
A tightly edited selection — limited-edition merch, BOAST, ASICS, and the rest — of only the good stuff.
Padel
Palas, grips, and the rest — all selected by people who actually play the sport competitively.
The hands
Strung by hands that have strung for champions.
Our master stringer, Dimas Méndez, has strung for tour pros — Dominic Thiem, Maria Sakkari, Marin Cilic — and on the stringing teams at the US Open, Australian Open, and Indian Wells. He trained directly under the legendary Roman Prokes.
That craft doesn’t live in a Grand Slam stringing room anymore. It lives in Long Island City, and it’s available to you.

A kit worth showing off.
BOAST whites and quarter-zips, Kimony grips from Tokyo, Waterdrop bottles, a stack of the good books. Everything on the shelf earned its place there.

Padel pro shop
Padel, done right.
Padel took New York by storm. We’re here for it. We carry the palas, we know the gear, and we’ll tell you — honestly — which setup suits the way you actually play.
