Getting started as a stringer

I have found that a good way for a beginning stringer to gain experience is to volunteer to string the store demo and recycled “grassroots” racquets, such as those that will be donated to youth programs. The store owner is often so busy stringing racquets for paying customers that he is happy to have someone else do the ones that “don’t pay.”

In my association with a shop, I have gained knowledge of how to string a wide range of “classic” frames as well as demos of the latest models.

Soon the owner might trust you with more important jobs, like stringing his own racquets!
