FAQ

Accessory questions

How often should I change my overgrip?

Most players replace overgrips every 4–6 weeks of regular play. If your handle is slipping or the grip looks dirty, it’s time. Tourna Grip in particular is a one-and-done overgrip, many players swap them every match.

Do you really install grips for free?

Yes, if you buy the grip from us, we install it on the spot. Walk in during business hours. Five-minute job and you’re back on the court.

What ball should I buy for my kid?

Match the dot to their level: red for beginners on a 36ft court, orange for kids hitting on a 60ft court, green for kids on a full court. Once they’re comfortable with green, switch to standard yellow balls.

What ball is best for ball machines?

Pressureless balls. They never go dead, won’t damage the machine, and last for years. We can stock or order them by the case, ask the staff.

Can you order something you don’t have in stock?

Most of the time, yes. If we don’t have your specific dampener, sweatband color, or hopper, we’ll see what we can bring in. Call us at (314) 995-6860.
