Padel in San Diego
San Diego's padel destination
Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in the world, and it is taking off across San Diego and Baja. Ray's Tennis in Hillcrest is building the region's home for it: the racquets, the shoes, the know-how, and the chance to try before you buy.

A San Diego racquet shop since 1969
Ray's started at the Balboa Tennis Club in 1969 and has been San Diego's racquet shop ever since. Generations of players have come to us for the right frame, honest advice, and stringing done by hand by people who actually play. Padel is the newest chapter, and we are bringing the same hands-on service to it: real guidance, a demo fleet, and gear matched to how you play, not just what is trending.
Why padel
Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Played in pairs on an enclosed court, padel rewards placement and teamwork over raw power, so it clicks fast for tennis players and total beginners alike. If you have not tried it yet, you are about to get hooked.
What we carry
A full lineup of padel racquets and shoes from the brands that matter: Babolat, Head, Wilson, Adidas, and more, across control, all-round, and power shapes. New to the game? We will match you to a forgiving, comfortable frame. Playing competitively? We will point you to the attacking diamond frames the pros use.
Try before you buy
Not sure which racquet suits your game? Demo one from our fleet, take it on court, and come back for the one that felt right. Our team plays, so the advice is real.
