There are dozens of sports shops in Wan Chai/Causeway Bay, including several in Johnston Rd, Hennessey Rd, around Victoria Park etc.
One that I often use is on Hennessey, opposite Wan Chai Fire station, next to the Canal Road Flyover, for example.
3.5 years later:
The shop opposite the Wan Chai Fire Station is still there, has a varied selection of squash rackets but the cheapest was $300. They do re-stringing, and sold glasses, but I couldn't ask what the prices were because the lady didn't speak English. I wanted to see if I could find a better deal on a racket so I wandered over to Johnston Rd. as well.
Seems there are two shops there, on either diagonal ends: the first one I missed, coming from Hennessey it was about 176 Johnston or so, only shoes out front but sporting goods in the back. The second shop was further down, past Southorn Playground at 36 Johnston Rd, called Wan Kee. Again, shoes in front, sports stuff in back. Older gentlemen spoke enough English, they do restringing for $150. Had a good selection of new rackets, as cheap as $150 and all marked down versus 'regular' prices. Got a $340 racket for $190, so pretty good savings on a cheaper Dunlop. I'm sure there are other shops hidden around as well, but hopefully I can save someone else all the walking I just did!
