I restarted playing tennis after 10+ years, joining a beginner tennis class through my local parks and rec program. I thought I could get away with wearing my everyday sneakers and old tennis racket that had been hanging out in my closet but after 3 classes and pain in my feet and hand, I googled a tennis shop and Mriva Sports popped up. I swung (no pun intended) by one afternoon, needing shoes and a new racket.He had a nice selection of court shoes and after a trying on several brands, I found one that felt snug and supportive for my feet needs. For a racket, he was able to give me an overview of types of rackets, grip size (turned out that I needed a smaller grip size), weight, etc. Since I didn’t know what type of racket I wanted - control vs power, he suggested trying out his program of trying out different rackets each week over the course of a month for $25.I have worn the court shoes several times now and it has been so comfortable when running around on the court. No longer do my feet hurt.For the rackets, I came back after a week and decided which racket I liked. It turned out to be a power racket. Deepak strung it and I was able to pick it up the next day. I played with the racket and wow, it made so much of a difference when hitting the ball. No hand pain.Deepak is really knowledgeable and helpful about tennis equipment. I would definitely return for my tennis needs. Thank you!Oh and there are a couple of parking spaces for Mriva Sports in the back.
