Authentic Raquets in Toronto? Markham? Scarborough?

**DnKenneth** · 01-16-2010, 04:47 PM

Hi, I'm looking for an arcsaber z slash to replace my crappy isometric mf and I was wondering if people can recommend me some good stores in Toronto or Markham preferably. If possible can you list the price of the place they are selling? Thanks

mjstrings.ca

but if you look in the buy and sell forum, you may be able to pick one up second hand

Keep in mind that although mjstrings are authentic, he does not sell CD coded rackets so warranty, if important to you, can be an issue. His rackets are mostly either SP or US.

Browns - not the cheapest place (Jane & Bloor)
http://www.brownssports.com

Sportinglife - again....not the cheapest (Yonge & Eglinton and Sherway Gardens)
http://www.sportinglife.ca

Mandarin and Lee's training centers have pro shops

We Love Tennis - west end

Yo's Sport - First Markham Place
http://www.profilecanada.com/company...rts_Markham_ON -->sorry but this is the only info I could find

Parkway Health & Racquet Club - HWY 7 Leslie
the area Yonex rep is involved in this place

Maxsports is located at Splendid China Tower, just across the street from Pacific Mall.

I just wanted to thank you guys! I'm probably going to buy from Yo's Sports since he's an authorized yonex dealer. Hope it's a decent price.

Max Sports is also an authorized Yonex dealer

Yeah, but Max is really expensive. And I don't think that place is that great, they got a good selection but price is important to me.

**Tornoni** · 03-09-2010, 02:19 PM

"Max is really expensive."
Really??
I know think so.
The price is inclusive of a choice from most strings, taxes and warranty as well.
I would say it's competitive.

**Tornoni** · 03-09-2010, 02:33 PM

Typo, should read "I don't think so."

Must be hungry.

**Lordofthefart** · 03-10-2010, 05:57 AM

But everywhere I shop has strings, warranty etc.

Arc z at max is going for 260. I get it for 220.
Arc 9 at max is going for 230. I got mine for 180.
RDiS 100 at max is on sale for 220. I get mine at regular price for 200.

I just listed 3 short examples but there's a bunch like that. Don't get me wrong, I look at their stuff all the time and if I see something I like I'll buy, but what I won't do is accept their prices at face value.

**Lordofthefart** · 03-10-2010, 08:46 AM

I actually just took a better look at max's prices, he's selling bg 65s for 10 dollars. And their sale prices for birds are equal to most other's regular price. I don't hate max but I've had a bunch of people come to me and say that max is one of the cheapest pro shops in Toronto. If someone can prove me wrong I'm all ears (or eyes) I'm always up for a good deal but saying it's one of the cheapest is a bit of a stretch for me.

i also discovered another racket shop in the north eastern end, steeles and markham rd
it's right by my physio place...
i'm heading there for a session in 5 mins, i will update on prices

for me, i go to maxsports for stringing (very good service, fast!)
and mjstrings for rackets/grips etc...

there's another place on yonge st, but i don't remember the name atm
it has CD coded stuff
all else fails, but the z-slash second hand, it'll probably be more cost effective
you might want to buy a different racket afterwards because i've heard some stories about being hard to adjust/get used to

**chrishin** · 03-10-2010, 09:13 AM

yonge and finch?
it's called racquet warehouse canada or something. won't recommend it. they sell everything at retail pricing + tax and charge 20 + tax for bg 65

racketguy has TONS of feedback so you're ok.
That being said I'm 99% sure it is the proshop at L'Amoreaux tennis center
