As most of you know I am a “numbers” person, that is a numerical value is a precursor of performance without the “subjectiveness” of hitters.

However, I am really happy to share with you that Robert Kendrick has agreed to be the “official” Racquet Quest string analyzer. Not only has Robert reached remarkable rankings with the ATP he is spending time developing dedicated juniors.

• Robert Kendrick, Tennis Player and RQ String Analyser
• Robert Bradley Kendrick is an American tennis player. He turned professional in 1999. His career-high singles ranking is World No. 69, achieved in July 2009.
• Born: November 15, 1979, Fresno, CA
• Height: 6′ 3″ (1.91 m)
• Weight: 190 lbs. (86 kg)

The testing procedure will involve strings submitted to RQ by manufacturers, strung in the same racquet at a tension recommended by the manufacturer. The testing will have duration of “till the tension loss makes it unplayable” or until “failure”.

I am looking forward to getting valuable feedback from Robert so I can pass it on to you. Please check in here often to stay on top of string information. Of course if you have any questions of robert please let me know!
