Racquets and Jackets was established in 1975 and has since serviced east Tennessee as the area's premier source for tennis equipment and apparel. Not only are we your source for all things tennis, but we also specialized in racquetball as well.
Stringing is one of our trademark services that keep us well ahead of our competitors. We have the only master racquet technician (MRT) in the east Tennessee area whose expertise goes into every one of the 4000+ frames we restring annually! We restring Squash, Racquetball and Badminton racquets too.
Our racquet selection is the region's largest with over 100 different models of tennis and racquetball frames to choose from. And if the selection seems a bit overwhelming, then take advantage of our free demo program to find the frame that best suits your game!
Our apparel selection is comprised of more than a dozen of tennis' most popular brands. From warm-ups to dresses, we have the latest and most fashionable styles for the women, men, and children too! Another special service we offer is team orders. Whether it is interclub or a school team, 3 members or 30, we are your source for team orders!
Racquets and Jackets carries only the best frames on the market with the newest advancements in technology. We have over 100 models to choose from by Price, Wilson, Head, Babolat and Dunlop.
With so many frames, it might seem difficult to choose the most appropriate one. That's where our expert staff can assist you. Our master racquet technician and trained staff will guide you to the frame which best suits your swing speed and playing style. Whether you need a frame for maximum power, pinpoint accuracy, or anywhere in between.
Our demo program is also available for our customers to help determine what racquet is best for their game. You can test three racquets at a time for up to a week, and demo as many times as you like until you find the perfect match!
We also have a wide selection of junior frames for all different age groups. Racquet lengths are determined according to age and / or height, so bring in your future tennis star and we can fit them with the appropriate racquet (demos are unavailable in Junior Frames).

All frames are backed by a one year limited warranty, so if there is any structural defect within a year of purchase, we'll send it to the manufacturer for you (hang on to your receipt!) Our prices are competitive with all of our local sport retailers, pro shops, and the Internet. More importantly, our prices include superior customer service and commitment to stand behind the products we carry.
