The Racquet Corner opened its door
to Lincoln and the Nebraska tennis and racquetball community
on March 1, 1988. Since that time we have expanded our lines
to include tennis clothing, shoes, badminton, and table tennis.
Since our early days, we have sold racquets to 31 states and
28 countries. Lincoln has our largest customer base, but we
have a very large customer base in rural Nebraska.
DEMONSTRATION RACQUETS
We stock over 90 TENNIS demonstration racquets, so customers
can compare racquets on court and find the racquet which
offers them the best combination of power and control. In
addition,
we stock over 40 RACQUET BALL “demo” racquets,
so racquet ball customers can find the power and feel they
desire by using the “demos” at a racquet ball
court.
STRINGING
Over the years, the business has been built around personal
service and attention. This is underscored by a consistent
effort to string racquets to exact customer specifications.
To that end, we have three constant pull stringing machines,
and a Babolat diagnostic center. We have four competent stringers,
including two classified by the United States Racquet Stringers
Association as “Master Racquet Technicians”. We
stock over 50 different strings in an effort to maximize each
player’s potential.
RACQUETS
We stock every major racquet brand in both tennis and racquetball,
including Wilson, Prince, Head, Volkl, Babolat, Dunlop, and
E-Force. Each model is backed by one or more demonstration
models, so customers may “try” before they buy.
Racquet technology is constantly changing, and improving. Today’s
racquets not only offer lighter weights, but much greater stability
and comfort. This simply brings more pleasure to everyone’s
game.
SHOES
Performance tennis and racquetball shoes have become a
very large share of our total sales. We stock only tennis
and
racquetball specific shoes. Brands include Nike, Wilson,
Prince, Adidas,
and K Swiss. We have a strong background of experience
in fitting shoes for each person, to maximize fit, and
thus
maximize your
game.
CLOTHING
Women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing
feature Adidas, Nike, and many other brands. A proper fit
and look
makes you feel better on the court. Almost every piece of
clothing features material that provides moisture management.
Moisture
release dries five times faster than cotton, and --- it looks
good.
WRIST, ELBOW, AND SHOULDER PROBLEMS
We have consulted and benefited many players with arm problems
in both racquetball and tennis. Each person’s problem
can be addressed with specific recommendations. These include
shock absorbing multifilament strings, specific racquets
designed to dampen shock, wrist and elbow relief devices,
and string
dampers. The correct combination will benefit almost every
player.
