Our story
A shop built around staying in the game.
The short version
Local expertise, with the door held open.
Drop the Racquet started with a simple idea: people feel better when they have a reason to get moving. During the early days of Covid, Tom Twitchell set up racquet drop-offs and started stringing from his garage so players could keep their courts—and their routines.
That small service grew into a South Burlington shop for the whole racquet and paddle community. Tom has played, taught, and coached for years; today, he and the team help everyone from first-time players to serious competitors find equipment that feels right.
Come in for the gear. Stay for the useful answer, the local connection, and the next excuse to play.
