To ensure that players receive a quality service, Roger has set up a “state of the art” Babolat Stringing Machine onsite in the club and will be available on demand.
A racquet restring is likened to having your car serviced…..regular servicing maintains the performance.
Roger’s rule of thumb for restringing…..If you play once a week restring once a year…..twice a week restring every 6 months. Failure to do so can not only result in the decrease in performance but can also lead to injuries (eg tennis elbow, shoulder, arm).
If you require any stringing (Tennis, Squash or Badminton), Roger will be delighted to offer his advice. He can be contacted on 07989 480650 or roger@racketsolutions.com or ask at Club Reception for further details.
