Racket Freak is a tennis equipment specialty store opened in May 2024 by racket enthusiast owner Mr. Masuda.
The store has a wide collection of rackets, strings, retro rackets, etc. They are displayed in rows, creating a space that everyone can enjoy.
In addition, they offer a wide selection of items to meet the needs of players at all levels, from beginners to advanced. The store features a bright and welcoming atmosphere, making it a delightful place to visit.
While you wait for the stringing, you can browse the store’s racket collection and old catalogs. Time flies as you enjoy a fun conversation with the owner.
While waiting for the racket to be restrung, I felt very relaxed, and memories of playing tennis with my father as a child came flooding back, making me feel a little nostalgic.
The appeal of “racket freak” is the owner’s careful attention to each customer’s detailed requests. Mr. Masuda is an active coach who listens to your hitting habits and preferences, selects the right racket and strings, and provides the optimal string tension.
Mr. Masuda’s deep understanding of tennis lies in his expertise not only in the technical aspects but also in his ability to fine-tune the racket to suit the player’s playing style.
The “racket freak” also offers same-day string tensioning at no additional charge.
Watching Mr. Masuda string a racket was captivating, as his technique and precision were truly remarkable. His years of experience were evident in every movement, and his careful, precise handling of the strings turned the task into a true work of art.
Customized grips will surely boost your motivation.
I realized that when a racket fits you well, your play improves, and both control and accuracy increase. With a custom grip, your swing becomes smoother, and you’ll be able to perform at your best!
At “racket freak,” the racket stringing process can take as little as 30 minutes on a less busy day, even if you bring it in that day, while a typical sports shop may take about a week.
Mr. Masuda was incredibly friendly and had a great sense of humor. His warm personality and witty remarks made the experience not only enjoyable but also memorable.
