UKRSA (UK Racket Stringers Association) Professional Stringer

So you've broken a string and need your racket done asap. Here is some general information.

I use an electronic machine (the latest Head stringing machine), my back-up is a Babolat . . . so you can always be sure of accurate string tension.

I have a wide range of strings types available . . . but are happy to help you make a decision about what might be best for your game.

That applies to tension as well . . . if you're not sure whether to have a high tension or a low tension, I can advise you.

Here is a rough idea of what it will cost you:

Tennis - around £16 to £25;

Squash - around £16 to £22

Badminton - £16; 

Racketball - £16

I can also re-grip your racket for you. Replacement grips vary in price . . . but they are not expensive (from £3 to £6), and an overgrip is just £1.50 (see what grips we have here).

Drop your racket off

This is what most people do. Drop your racket (or rackets) off during the day and collect it at your convenience once it's done. Normally, your racket will be ready for collection the following day. 

While-you-wait restringing

I can do a restring while you wait sometimes (depending on workload). There is a small extra charge (£5) for this (I have to stop what I'm doing and you get pushed up the list ... bit like going private).

How long does it take? Some rackets take longer than others (badminton, for example, often need grommets replacing and can take about 45 mins).

There's a retail park nearby, or you can sit and watch me perform miracles on your racket . . . it's up to you. If you want a while-you-wait restring, you need to contact me and arrange a time (07855 107578).
