Racquets Mate is a racquet stringing service which allows all levels of players to receive a re-stringing service to the same high level as professionals. I have strung at The Championships Wimbledon for the last 2 years as well as the AEGON INTERNATIONAL & CLASSIC in 2010. For 2011 I am part of the Babolat Official Stringing Team as well as stringing at the Championships Wimbledon for a third year.


Why have your racquet strung if it's not broken….??

The string in your racquet is the only part to make contact with the ball/shuttle (or that's the plan at least!) The strings make up 40% of the playability and feel of your racquet so it is important to get the right string at the right tension for your racquet and game style.  Strings loose the tension and elasticity over time. With this loss in tension the string will start working less for you and you will have to start working harder, by either swinging faster or putting more effort into your shots.   As a basic calculation you should have your racquet strung the same number of time a year as you play a week.   So if you play twice a week then you should have your racquet strung at a minimum of twice a year. At a very minimum you should have your racquet strung every 6 months.  

 

There is no benefit of having a Ferrari with a Skoda engine, the strings are the engine of your racquet and will make a big difference to the playability of it. You have properly spent time looking into and testing the best racquet for you so to finish of your perfect racquet you will need a good high quality engine (string) that will benefit you and your racquet.

 

All racquets strung will be finished off by the logo added to the strings (where possible) and then your racquet, string and tension details will then be recorded for future re-strings.
