Super nice guy and lady that works there! Super informative! They knew all the answers to my questions which was really amazing! Made sure I knew how to use the equipment I bought and how to take care of them! Really appreciated my first time experience there! Highly recommend this place and will tell all my friends and family about this place too!

My son and I had a wonderful experience purchasing a badminton racket at T1 Sports. Tony took the time to ask my son questions about his playing style before recommending rackets in our price range. He watched my son swing the racket a few times to ensure that the recommended racket was a good fit. I am confident that we made the right purchase because of Tony's knowledge and customer service. Thank you for a fantastic buying experience!
02 November 2023 15:37
The people are super friendly and attentive, and they have a wide range of racket models. Common racket models can be seen in the store.

Visited this store for the first time (recommended by a good friend). Excellent customer services.
01 July 2023 7:33
Extraordinary customer service! Love that they are still taking the pandemic seriously but above all they are kind and knowledgeable and beyond professional. Absolutely the best place
16 June 2023 17:48
Been getting badminton supplies and service here for years, very friendly and knowledgable staff. In store is by appointment only, call ahead.
03 June 2023 14:10
Fantastic service! Staff members are very kind and supportive. I ordered badminton team jerseys with them for school, and it was a remarkable experience.
09 May 2023 11:17
REALLY GREAT SERVICE! T1 sports were so generous to let us order in such notice and did a tremendous job very happy!

I bought my first badminton racket from T1sports when I was in high school in Vancouver back when I was 17. The staff back then not only gave me a lot of advices on how I should play and what racket I should use. Now I am 22 and moved to Ontario. I decided to order a racket from the store again. The shipping company had some issues and lost my package but T1sports decided to make up for me by resending exact same racket again with a free hoodie to compensate my long wait time. 4 days later the package arrived and they are both carefully packaged and good quality. I highly recommend checking their store.
23 March 2023 20:53
Really helpful and friendly staff, and they have a wide variety of the latest badminton gear. Shopping here for all my equipment is always a pleasant experience.
11 March 2023 21:14
Amazing Store. Customer service is great!
Bought a limited edition badminton racket, Guided me on which racket, string, string tension to get, not only explained which one is good but focuses on what I need base on the my game. He even asked me if my arm, back, shoulder etc hurts to recommend the best product for me. Went back not only to buy a limited edition bag, took a friend to buy a racket from them too! Definitely going back for my badminton needs!:)
05 March 2023 20:17
I was able to exchange a pair of shoes I got as a gift and Katie made the process super easy and made sure the shoes fit perfectly. She was very nice and informative, as a badminton coach herself, and I never felt rushed. The store's stock was also very abundant and I will definitely be back for all my badminton needs.
25 February 2023 3:04
Such clear and concise explanations on the products. The recommendations were tailored for me and my friend’s needs. Highly recommend. I’m not a bot. This was an awesome experience the people were super passionate and knowledgeable working here.
18 January 2023 2:51
Best place for shopping badminton rackets and other accessories. Parking lot is dark. The mall is a shaddy old and smelly hell.
22 December 2022 0:53
One of the best badminton shopping experiences I've ever had! Reasonable price, nice service, timely response, and fast shipping!

The price is competitive, and the rackets are generally cheaper compared with store in the US. Very solid quality - will definitely visit again!
07 December 2022 9:01
Recommended this place to a couple friends already. Best service, reliable, considerate, and actually spends quality time with their customers helping them pick the best racket for their needs. DOES NOT TRY TO HARD SELL YOU BY THE PRICE! Enthusiastic workers that actually love the sport. Remember to call and book a timeframe for visit and wear a mask. They will answer all your questions about the sport.
26 September 2022 7:24
Great service. Covid protocols in place which I like. Product recommendations were much appreciated and worked out perfectly. Thanks.
28 August 2022 20:11
I restring tennis racket twice over there. First hybrid one got broken in 2 weeks. Then I switched to polyester string which should be more durable but unfortunately it got broken in 3 months. String quality is not good at all.
22 July 2022 14:01
Great prices, service and massive selection of equipment. Highly recommend! Great for beginners and advanced players. Staff is very knowledgeable, asked lots of questions to understand your needs before recommending products. Felt taken care of! Thank you!
22 July 2022 12:06
Overpriced. No other stores in Vancouver take 5 days stringing the racket. Also charged me for the matching racket bag, which should be free. Just go other stores with better service and price.
26 May 2022 8:38
An extremely helpful store to purchase at. Great quality and great pricing. Looking forward for more sport equipments.
02 May 2022 9:31
Very good customer service and knowledgeable staff! Tony and Katie helped me during a busy Saturday afternoon, although they're busy with different customers, they still arranged proper Covid protocols and care for customers' safety as well besides business. Tony explained everything clearly and gave me good advice to pick the right badminton racket. I will come again when I need other sports stuff. Highly recommend.
30 April 2022 20:03
Theses guys are a bit intense, but they are helpful and get the job done. The store has a great selections of shoes and racquets. Bought a shoe within 10 mins and left.
24 April 2022 20:47
I had a great experience shopping at T1 Sports with Katie. She is extremely knowledgeable about badminton shoes and racquets because she plays at such a high competitive level. She gave me as much time as I needed to try on different products and make an informed decision. Great selection and expertise at this store! I will shop here again when I want to upgrade my racquet in the future!
22 November 2021 10:59
My overall experience was great! The associate was informative and patient with my questions and requests. The COVID protocols (ie.prebooked appointments, temperature checks, sanitization, etc.) are reassuring. My badminton rackets were strung and gripped quickly. I was ready to play with my new purchases by the following day. I'll definitely come back again because the customer service is fantastic!
28 October 2021 22:19
Knowledgeable staffs. Very patient and answered all my questions. Explained differences between products and helped me made the correct purchase.
27 October 2021 3:31
Lol. Wasn't told beforehand it can take five days to get my racket back and now is saying there are two days in a week are both holidays lol? Are you in Canada? Is there a single week with two days as holiday?

Looking at the historical bad reviews, the store always blame customers and called them bad/rude/silly. What a "great" customer service

Brought in my racket for stringing on Sunday noon. Called in Wednesday night and asked for updates, was told I can’t get my racket until Friday. There is no single place you can find in Vancouver that will take so long for stringing. Of course, I was mad and asked why I wasn’t told it would take so long. The staff was rude and told me that i didn’t pay rush fee then threatened me they wouldn’t do my business anymore lol.
20 October 2021 21:57
Came in looking for some intermediate level badminton rackets, and was very pleasantly surprised by the helpful and knowledgeable staff! Rackets were reasonably priced and they had a wide selection of apparel and shoes too!
04 October 2021 22:51
I had a great experience here, the associate there was extremely helpful and was able to offer me a lot of advice regarding tennis strings and bags. I eventually ended up buying a bag He was also able to accommodate me, despite me not making an appointment previously. All in all, great customer service.
04 April 2021 23:55
Went shopping for some badminton gears. Tony provided excellent customer service and was knowledgeable with all the products I was seeking. Price was reasonable and competitive. Would definitely come here again!
09 March 2021 12:55
Great prices in lower mainland
When you looking for badminton stuff here is the place won't let you disappointed.
The staff is attentive, knowledgeable and very helpful, the best customer service ever ever. Good job guys!
16 February 2021 20:10
Excellent selection of badminton shoes and great price. Bought 2 pairs of shoes online on Boxing Day and they delivered same day.
16 February 2021 1:44
I normally never leave reviews but this place provided such outstanding customer service that I want to give them ten stars if I could.

I came here on an extremely windy and rainy day via transit without knowing about the pre registration prior to showing up in store in person. The lady working behind the counter didn't hesitate to take down my name and phone number and still welcomed me into the store without turning me away.
Since I was here for badminton shoes, the staff took the extra time to show the type/styles that would be most beneficial to me. I never once felt rushed and they gave very detailed info whenever I had questions.
At the end of the purchase I mentioned that it was my first time to the store and they provided tips on caring for the shoes as well as a racquet stringing voucher for future visits.

TLDR;-> Awesome, knowledgeable and passionate staff that can help you find what you want and provide suggestions.
05 January 2021 7:48
I went to T1 to look to buy a pair of tennis shoes and a tennis racquet. Tony there provided great advice and service. He is very knowledgeable and took his time explaining to me the different shoe options and each individual racquet's functionality. It helped me make the right selection easily. I highly recommend T1 Sports to others especially if you are looking to buy tennis related equipment.
09 December 2020 0:32
The owner is very knowledgeable, excellent service and very thorough on giving customers the most appropriate recommendations for purchasing.
10 September 2020 23:04
Great prices. Honest and friendly staff. It was my first time to visit their store and I appreciated their good service. I recommend this store to tennis lovers
08 September 2020 14:58
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I really like tony. Helped me pick the right racket and shoes for tennis. I will going here for all my tennis needs. Thanks. (Tj)
07 September 2020 4:59
I just started playing tennis a couple of months ago. I decided to upgrade to a better racquet and I found T1 Sports online. I decided to visit their store for the first time and I'm glad I did! Tony was very attentive, helpful, and educated me on various things about tennis. If you're picking out a racquet, I'd highly recommend going to T1 Sports. They pay attention to what your needs are, what type of tennis player you are, and they pick out great racquets that's ideal for you. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!
26 August 2020 21:01
It was our first time into the store and we were shopping for badminton shoes. T1 Sports has a great selection of court shoes. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable and very helpful. The gentleman took the extra time to teach my son how to properly tie his shoelaces to provide extra support. Tips on how to care for his court shoes. WOW! Thank you for the great customer care. Highly recommend T1 Sports!
19 August 2020 5:50
Was incredibly impressed by the level of knowledge and customer service provided by Tony and staff. High attention to detail and exceeded expectations.
17 August 2020 3:07
This is our second time coming to T1 for racket sport equipment. Since we are quite new to tennis, we were hoping they could help us with our selection. Tony who was helping us was super amazing and professional! He took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for and made a great recommendation for us. Extremely happy with our purchase and would definitely recommend them!:)
17 August 2020 0:31
Bought a Yonex Nanoray 800 yesterday.
The store has a variety collection of badminton racquet, and many of them has surprising discounts. The owner is very knowledgeable and is really helpful if you need recommendations.
22 July 2020 8:10
Hands down the best racket shop around. Always friendly, does perfect job and are very quick at doing it too. I just wouldn't consider any other place. It's like Tads but with much better customer service.
12 July 2020 4:38
Because of pandemic, postal services were slow so they hand delivered to my house within a couple of days of placing order. Great service, great price too!
09 July 2020 17:47
Great customer service and very quick turnaround with my order. Great prices compared to other.ca and.com tennis sites. My go to tennis store!
07 July 2020 22:28
Came here because of a referral from a friend, and was pleasantly surprised. The place is open (with call in or walk-in because of COVID-19), although it's a bit clustered together.

I came to buy feather badminton shuttles, but they had racquets, shoes, stringing services, and clothes as well. The person at the desk was very nice and welcoming. He offered help and advice on how the different shuttles compared against each other, which is something I haven't experienced before at other stores. Their shuttles have a small buy-2 discount which makes their prices below the competition here. When I asked for an itemized receipt (for company benefit claims), the guy at the desk was kind enough to write one out separately for me.

Overall, I had a great experience, and I'll come again when I finish using the shuttles I bought.
13 May 2020 1:51
Very knowledgeable and super friendly staff. Tony took his time explaining the pros and cons of different racket to help me find the right racket. I have been a repeated customer ever since.
21 April 2020 23:02
I've been here a few times already. I always go here for my tennis needs. Tony is great and extremely helpful. I always leave the store satisfied.
16 April 2020 15:02
The staff there (Tony) is very knowledgeable and patient. I asked lots of questions and he is not annoyed at all. He's happy to help me at all times. Amazing customer service and reasonable prices for badminton equipment. This is the best badminton store I know in B. C.
I would highly recommend this store to anyone that are willing to buy badminton equipment.
06 April 2020 10:35
Went in there first time today and it was hands down a great experience! They're super friendly and helpful! If you're looking for good advice or new to the badminton, they provide all sorts tips and guide you in terms of what you need to start off! I 100% recommend this shop and I will definitely be returning there.
02 October 2019 18:24
I always buy tennis goods at T1 Sports.
Stringing is perfect and the staff always give me valuable tips to choose the items.
I bought ASICS shoes FF2 as the staff’s recommendation.
Feeling perfect and can’t wait for tomorrow’s practice!
15 September 2019 19:23
Tony is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and I had a fantastic experience purchasing my badminton shoes from him.
28 August 2019 20:44
I bought both my racket and shoes for badminton from this store and both times I had an amazing experience. The staff really takes the time to walk you through your options and find what is the right fit for you. One of the best sports shopping experiences I have had.
17 August 2019 0:41
First time visiting the store,
Had little trouble finding the entrance, but once inside, it was very pleasant talking with Tony.
He helped me get my old racket restrung, and while doing so got myself a tennis shoes and new racket.
Tony was very pleasant to deal with. He was very knowledgeable and respected not only me but everyone who visited the store at that time.
I will definitely recommend this store to everyone.
15 August 2019 18:46
The gentlemen there is very knowledgeable, they have a good selection of the equipment that you “need”.

I almost ordered a more expensive type of string but the guy advised me to use a different one which is cheaper and better for my playing style. So he won’t rip you off or try to gain more money from you. They do accept cash only for the re-stringing so prepare that which I didn’t, but they were nice enough for me to pay for that service when I pick it up. Overall very pleased experience and my go to tennis store from now on.
14 August 2019 2:06
Tony is awesome! He was very kind to share his time to find the best equipment that fits me. He also coached us and gave us some great tips for badminton games! Thanks alot:)
13 August 2019 8:03
Very knowledgeable staff, competitive prices, fast stringing. I bought a couple of badminton racquets, shoes and birdies from T1 Sports. I also go there when I need my racquets re-strung. Excellent service from their knowledgeable manager. I would recommend this place to anyone who looking or need advise on sports gear.
11 August 2019 20:10
Just bought the 2nd badminton racquet with the help of Tony, the manager. He is very knowledge about the equipment and giving out professional opinion with what to choose. A great variety of merchandise to choose from with reasonable pricing. Highly recommend if you are looking for any badminton equipments.
08 August 2019 9:51
Store has really bad tennis gear, I'd say I'd only recomend for badimiton gear but honestly most of the stuff there is out of date
06 August 2019 12:03
Got my first badmintoon shoes from here, really great experience. Tony is very helpful and knowledable. He gave me an overall introduction and then helped me find the best fit for me. It was kinda busy when I visited, but he took care of every customer with his patience. He also taught me how to maintain my shoes and gave me coupon for next visit. Definitely recommended!
05 August 2019 1:50
Tony has great product knowledge and eagerly helped with shoe fitting and badminton racquet selection beyond expectation.
03 August 2019 4:58
It was awesome to meet Tony! He was very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Gave us many information and tips about how to buy our first racket and shoes. We did not feel any pressure to make our purchase. Highly recommended!
02 August 2019 20:31
Really tiny store, I bought a two pairs of shoes there, not really that good of a place wouldn't recommend and the staff there seem rushed and almost as if they are forcing you to buy shoes/raquets ect.
28 July 2019 20:10
My experience with T1 Sports has always been great. Friendly customer service and good deals. Very accommodating and prompt stringing turnover. Would definitely recommend to my friends and fellow tennis/badminton enthusiasts!
19 July 2019 20:22
Tony was helpful and knowledgeable. When I bought my Babolat Pure Drive tennis racquet the price was very reasonable and the stringing service was ready next day.
18 July 2019 4:51
We bought tennis shoes yesterday and wanted to exchange it today but the owner was so rude and said all sales are final. He hadn't told us when we bought the shoes though. Also he didn't give us reciept yesterday. He raised his voice on us. The worst experience I've ever had in years: (
He told us we can resell those shoes online by ourseleves!

Added on June 8th:
I'm so glad you showed your real attitude by your reply. Rather than apologizing for your bad behavior you're accusing me of yelling. We were so calm and quiet and waiting for you to service other customers. You were the one without even looking at shoes told us your sells are final sales.
I clearly told you my son hadn't weared it OUTSIDE and tried it on INSIDE court but he wasn't listening. Of course I didn't claim the shoes were new. We were trying to tell your staff (YOU) my son's foot was HURT because of shoes and your staff didn't care. In any other stores there is an exchange rule for even USED ones. This pair of shoes, we realized has a problem with my son's foot after a few games and wanted to exchange it the same day but your store was closed.
Anyway, they are good while selling you something but after that they're TERRIBLE. Even now by putting out my teenage son's name ILLEGALLY on a public website which they collected as PRIVATE client information proves my point. They are accusing a kid publicly of something he didn't do to cover their mistake. Anyway, I don't recommend them and if they continue this terrible attitude and behavior I'll do something serious about it.
By the way, I'm sure your security camera shows that I asked for the RECIEPT but your staff started yelling and changing the subject and didn't give me the reciept at the end.
I'm gonna check with ADIDAS to see if it's a FAKE or real one which you sold us. My son's playing tennis for years and never returned or had a problem with his tennis shoes. This one was really strange. He tried to play with those shoes again and his foot started BLEEDING after a few games. Of course you don't care. You finalized your sell.
09 July 2019 3:43
Great services and reasonable prices! Tony is friendly and welcoming, he would give you best recommendations and help you get what you want!
08 July 2019 17:52
Not a good place at all, being a person that doesn't mind bad customer service, I couldn't understand how bad their customer service can get, wouldn't recommend. Also there isn't much tennis gear there, and the stuff that is there are all out of date. The badminton stuff is also out of date. Don't even like the customer service.
04 July 2019 19:00
Great customer service! Tony is very knowledgeable of the products that he sells and he is very patient in answering customer’s questions.
25 June 2019 11:55
T1 sports has very great service. I ordered shirts with a custom drawing and it arrived very quickly and in perfect shape. My team and I are very happy with it.
12 June 2019 19:48
Tony is very patient, helpful, and has great multitasking skills! He helped me choose a pair of badminton shoes according to my skill level and needs and taught me the appropriate angle my ankle has to be when tying up the laces and proper shoe care to maximize longevity. Tony also took the time to help my sister choose a comfortable pair of badminton shoes, keeping in mind she has to wear ankle braces due to bilateral weak ankles and that my sister can be a challenge to fit considering she is very sensitive to even cushioning by the heel cup (which she considers painful). He nearly took 2 hours to fit my sister while also fitting my other 4 friends with their badminton shoes simultaneously, and throughout the process, my sister felt that she was taken care of very well. I will definitely come back!
01 June 2019 10:57
We were referred to this store by a knowledgeable and friendly staff member at the Asics Outlet store in Richmond on a quest for clay court tennis shoes. Operations Manager, Tony was extremely helpful and patient to ensure we purchased the right ones. The prices were great and styles were up to date with new inventory arriving soon! Good deals on clearance clothing too! We would return to this store to meet our tennis needs! Thanks Tony
31 May 2019 6:20
It's a small store but with a lot of inventory. The manager was very helpful and detailed in picking out a tennis racquet. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would come again.
