NYC Racquet Sports is Manhattan’s largest specialty store for tennis and seven paddle sports, with pickleball front and center. The flagship sits near Herald Square with a second counter, Grand Central Racquet, inside Grand Central Terminal. The pickleball wall carries Selkirk, JOOLA, Six Zero, Holbrook, Babolat, Adidas, and Master Athletics, and the store launched what it calls the first brick and mortar pickleball paddle demo program so players can try before they buy. Services run deep: expert stringing including while you wait, and a racquet courier that picks up and delivers anywhere in Manhattan seven days a week. Open Monday through Saturday with slightly shorter weekend hours, it is the rare city shop where staff can talk paddle cores as fluently as string tension.
