Readers' Choice Poll: Best Sporting Goods Store in La Mesa

Now that spring has begun, it's time to gear up – for playing sports, that is. Whether you play in an organized league or you're a weekend warrior, there comes a time when your old equipment wears out. From the tackiness of a brand new pair of basketball shoes, the ping of a new driver, or the firm contact that you get from a freshly strung racket, there's few things better than picking up new sporting goods.

Whether you play hoops or softball, golf or tennis. Even if you participate in a more specialized sport like cycling or fishing, we want to know where your favorite place to go to get your gear.

Here are some of our favorite places, but if we’re leaving one off of the list that’s in the area, let us know in the comments.
