Racket stringing · Bellevue, Washington
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.
Services
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.
Process
Send the racket, the string you want and a tension. Not sure? Describe how you play and I will pick — that conversation is free and I enjoy it.
Easy drop-off and pick-up at my home near Robinswood Tennis Center. No shop hours to work around.
Same day is often possible depending on the queue. It comes back labelled with the string, tension and dynamic tension.
Inventory
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
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.
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.
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.
Full racket matching across a set of frames — swingweight, balance and static weight brought into line so your second racket plays like your first.
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.
