Savvy Shopper | Savvy Shopping

If tennis is your sport, we've found a great online tennis store that offers a huge selection of tennis rackets, shoes, apparel, balls, strings, bags, grips and overgrips, and accessories ranging from shock dampeners and court equipment to posters, dvd's, and books. Whatever you are looking for, check TennisPlaza.com (voted #1 retailer by RSI magazine). There is also a physical storefront located in Miami, Florida, and the website offers information in Spanish and Portuguese as well as English.

When purchasing shoes for the tennis court, it is of greatest importance to buy the right type of shoe. Running shoes, for example, have thick cushioning built into the heel to soften impact on straight-ahead running, but lack the support needed to protect the ankle when moving quickly to the side and can leave the player vulnerable to ankle injuries on the court. View detailed information on both women's and men's tennis shoes in order to make a good selection tailored to your particular needs.

When shopping for tennis rackets, you have a wide variety of quality brands to choose from, including Babolat Rackets, Dunlop Rackets, Head Rackets, Prince Rackets, Tecnifibre Rackets, Volkl Rackets, Wilson Rackets, and Yonex Rackets. Occasionally there may be used rackets offered for sale at discounted prices, but many styles of new rackets are available and the images on file allow you to zoom in for a close-up view of your racket before purchasing. Your racket will be custom made to your specifications regarding grip size, the type of string you prefer, and the tension you order. You have the option to have the logo added to your racket, or leave it off. Detailed technical specifications were available for every racket we viewed, and most include a discussion of the particular racket's construction and details about its performance during the game.
