Would the instruction you are seeking be for an adult or a child?  Are
you looking for individual instruction or group settings (e.g., tennis
"camps)?

Actually, it's just for getting the best tennis racquet for a male
adult.  Perhaps a top tennis pro shop would suffice.  Thanks much!

Hi birkett7,

Within the area of Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh, NC I found the
following Tennis Pro Shops:


Hollow Rock Racquet Tennis Pro Shop

Thank you for your reply and the names of tennis pro shops. What I'm
really looking for, however, is the 'Best' pro shop in the area.  What
is the largest?  Who has the most equipment available?  That sort of
thing.  THank you much.

Hi birkett,

The first four listed are Country Clubs. Because Country Clubs operate
as a business, they all will be able to give you the best advice, have
the best equipment for sale or be able to get it for you, and will
have personnel on board to help you in your selection.  (Due to
distance constraints I won't be able to make individual phone calls to
find out who is the "biggest", but I'm fairly certain each of the four
Clubs will offer to you more than satisfactory service.)

In my younger years, I played competitive tennis.  I was able to
utilize the services of any Country Club in the area to buy tennis
racquets, get advice on proper shoes, and anything else related to the
sport.

Tennis Pro shops are similar to Golf Pro Shops - going to the top
(which would be a Country Club Pro Shop) is they way to find the best
information.


Best regards,
