For many racket stringers, the only concern is putting the strings in the racket but a true technician looks at the early preparation with the same concern as the actual stringing. Not only can the early ground work set you up for a much easier stringing it can also help support your long term business goals. Keep your skills up to date, learn some new tricks and let me help you become a better racket stringer. Make sure you sign up for the email support, weekly newsletter that will be starting soon as well as updates! Here are just a few of the many items to look at.
I am currently working on my video series about early preparation and the pre-stringing process and benefits, here is a written overview of what to expect. The first video should be out later this week. I have been a little slow getting some of my stringing tips and support on video but I am excited to be using this medium to help other stringers.
My Introduction Course as it will be outlined will be as follows:
• The first area is in regards frame structures and preparation of the racket prior to installing strings.
• Machine types /tool types and the necessary items for getting started.
• String composition and characteristics and a brief overview of the types of strings you should stock when getting started.
• Standard stringing patterns, techniques and knots along with some time saving tips.
• Grommet / bumperguard replacement, evaluation.
• Basic grip replacement and size issues / changing grips for left hand players.
• Problem avoidance, short-cuts, best practices.
• How to start a stringing business part-time, overview.
• USRSA Membership information and how to become a certified stringer.
If you are interested in finding out more about this course or would like 1:1 email support, please send me a note.
These are just a few of the techniques and strategies I use in the pre-stringing process... The full report will be explained in my video series and I will follow up shortly on this list.
