Readers' Choice: Best Shop for Sporting Goods

Everybody needs a hobby, or a way to blow off steam every once in a while, and for a lot of people it's sports.

But where do you go to get that box of balls for the Saturday tee-time with the guys? Or to pick up that new pair of cross-trainers you've had your eye on since you started to wear through the soles of your current pair of running shoe? Maybe you need a new paddle for your kayak, or to replace a broken bat.

The thing is, there are lots of places to choose from, but we want your help finding the best. So vote for your favorite in our poll below, and then tell us why they're your favorite in the comments section. And don't forget to drop a review on their Patch Places Page, because those reviews count in determining a winner.

Voting in the poll below is open until 9 a.m. Friday. Ties will be broken by whichever entry has the most positive comments in the section below. We will announce the winner at noon Friday.

Note: Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results, comments below and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.
