Set Point East brings same-day tennis gear delivery to East Hampton

Set Point Tennis has turned the unglamorous parts of Hamptons tennis into its main selling point: same-day summer delivery, racquet stringing in 24 hours, and enough quick-turn support to keep a player from losing a day on logistics. The East Hampton shop says orders placed before 2 p.m. can be delivered the same day for an added $25, with service reaching west only as far as Southampton.

At 47 1/2 Main Street, the store sells racquets, sneakers, apparel, and accessories for men, women, and children, along with holiday gift items and court-ready gear. It also offers racquet rental and demo programs, and the fee on a demo can be credited toward a racquet purchase. For players who want more than a retail stop, Set Point also handles private, semi-private, and group lessons, and can help arrange a casual playing partner.

The stringing bench is part of the pitch. Set Point advertises an extensive selection of strings, says it can advise on tension, and offers 24-hour stringing for players who cannot wait through a summer weekend with a broken racquet. That mix of retail, repair, and last-minute support is aimed squarely at the seasonal rhythm of the East End, where families, weekend guests, and regulars often need to get on court fast.

The business operates in East Hampton and West Palm Beach, extending its reach beyond the Hamptons while keeping Main Street as its local base. Its founders bring different backgrounds to the shop’s identity: Lisa Herbert is described by the company as a former top executive at Pantone, while Ricardo Winter is described as a career tennis player and certified exercise coach.

Set Point also sits inside a deeper East Hampton tennis ecosystem. In 2016, the business was described as the purchase and relaunch of Tennis East, a retailer that had served East Hampton for 40 years. Winter was identified then as a master tennis professional since 1994 and a Hamptons coach for 15 years. Around it, East Hampton Indoor Tennis lists 6 indoor courts, 18 outdoor courts, 2 platform-pickleball courts, and 3 padel courts; East Hampton Tennis Club has 15 outdoor Har-Tru courts and dates to 1969; and SPORTIME Amagansett says it is the largest outdoor tennis facility in the Hamptons, serving 500 to 1,000 players and campers a day in summer. In that crowded, fast-moving market, Set Point’s value is simple: get the right gear there quickly, and keep the racquet in play.
