Racquet Quest

Many of our clients participate in competitive tournaments around the country and the world!

If, as a tournament player, you are serious, you want the very best racquet preparation and something that feels like ” home”; however, are you prepared to make specific requests about your racquet preparation?

Here are some tips for communicating with the tournament stringer that may help get the “feeling” you want.

• Always two (2) pieces of string, even if the main string and cross string are the same.
  • A hybrid format will naturally be two (2) pieces.
•  Always start the cross strings at the top of the racquet.
• Always tie off the cross strings on a cross string if possible
• Never tie off a “stiff” string on a “soft” string, such as polyester on natural gut.
• Always keep any ID tags on the racquet.
• If you are leaving a reel of string for the stringer, ask them to remove only enough for your racquet.
  (Do you know how much that is?)
  • You can control your string usage if you cut the amount required for your racquet before leaving it with the stringer(s).
• If you notice an obvious error that you believe will negatively impact your performance, do not accept the racquet.

Good Luck!
