Racket stringing · Bellevue, Washington

Twenty-eight strings on the shelf. One of them is yours.

I string rackets out of my home near Robinswood Tennis Center. Thousands of frames over the years, a Wilson Baiardo calibrated every fifty rackets, and every job labelled with the string, the tension and the dynamic tension it actually came off the machine at.

Most of my clients are academy players from Tier 1 and Gorin, but I am just as happy stringing for a Saturday league team. If you are in the local USTA community we have probably crossed paths already — stop and say hi.

What it costs

Labor is flat and the string is separate — pick whichever one you want from the wall below and add it to the labor. No upcharge for a hybrid, and no upcharge for a same-day job when the queue allows one.

Service	What's included	Labor
Racket stringing	Two-piece by default, one-piece if you ask. Wilson Pro or Parnell knot depending on the condition of the grommet. Finished with a vinyl label listing the string, your tension, and the dynamic tension measured off the bed.	$20per racket
Racket matching	Swingweight, balance and static weight brought into line across your frames. Matching works toward the heaviest swingweight in the set, so not every combination of rackets can be matched — I will tell you honestly before starting.	$30per racket
Grommet kit installation	Fitted while the racket is already on the bench. Worth doing the moment the grommets start cutting string.	$10per kit

String is charged separately at the price shown on each card below.

The string wall

Everything here is on the shelf right now. Where a string comes in more than one gauge I have listed them together — sort by my rating to see what I actually reach for, or filter down to what your game needs.

The bench

What I string on

The machine matters more than most players realise. Constant pull holds the reference tension through the whole pull instead of dropping off the moment the string relaxes — which is why two rackets strung a month apart come back feeling the same.

ERT 300 dynamic tension meter and its case — Every racket gets measured before it goes back in the bag.

Machine

2024 Wilson Baiardo

Constant-pull electronic tensioner with a six-point mounting system. Maintained regularly and calibrated every fifty rackets, so the number on the display is the number in your string bed.

Measurement

ERT 300 dynamic tension

Every racket leaves with a vinyl label listing the string, the reference tension and the dynamic tension measured off the finished bed. Bring it back next time and we can adjust from real numbers instead of memory.

Matching

Briffidi swingweight, balance board, 0.00 g scale

Full racket matching across a set of frames — swingweight, balance and static weight brought into line so your second racket plays like your first.

Technique

Two-piece unless you ask otherwise

Wilson Pro or Parnell knot depending on the condition of the grommet. Thousands of rackets over the years, and the attention to detail has not slipped on any of them.
