Stringing
Tour-level stringing, while you wait or while you play. The same care the pros get — because the hands are the same.
Racquet · Long Island City
Tour-level stringing and customization, plus a sharply curated tennis and padel shop — inside CityView Racquet Club.
Finally, an address
Racquet has spent years celebrating the art, ideas, and style of tennis in print. The Pro Shop is where all of that gets a room of its own — where the stringing is tour-grade, the gear is chosen rather than merely stocked, and the conversation is as good as the equipment.
What we do
Tour-level stringing, while you wait or while you play. The same care the pros get — because the hands are the same.
Weighting, balancing, gripping, matching. We dial your racquet to the player you actually are.
A tightly edited kit — Babolat, BOAST, and the rest — chosen with a magazine editor’s eye, not a wholesaler’s.
Palas, gear, and a court steps away. New York’s racquet obsession has a second sport now, and we’re ready for it.
The hands
Our master stringer, Dimas, trained directly under Roman Prokes — the legend who has strung for Agassi, McEnroe, the U.S. Davis Cup team, and a quarter-century of US Opens.
That pedigree doesn’t live in a tour locker room anymore. It lives in Long Island City, and it’s available to you.
Meet the benchThe shop
BOAST whites and quarter-zips, Babolat frames, Kimony grips from Tokyo, Waterdrop bottles, a stack of the good books. Everything on the shelf earned its place there.

The other sport
New York fell hard for padel, and CityView has the court to prove it — right downstairs. We’ve got the palas, the gear, and the people who can tell you which is which.
