Pretty much the foremost fountain of knowledge in all racquet sports is Tad's Sporting Goods at Marine/70th.
I've been going there to ask for advice when changing both tennis and badminton racquets since I was about 14.
The owner, Tad, was a former Canadian mixed tennis champion, and his son who is now taking over, is some squash champion.
They don't talk much but tell you what is wrong with your swing and what racquet you need simply by watching you swing.
The best deals to be found are used tennis racquets there - many of which are close to brand new and 30-40% off retail. As well, you can also rent several different racquets to see how they work out for you.
