The standard

1

Upon collection of your badminton racket, we conduct an initial inspection to check the overall condition of the racket. 

2

Next, we engage in a thorough consultation with you. This includes discussing your playing style, frequency of play, string preferences (type, tension, etc.), and any past issues or preferences. 

3

Armed with your preferences and the insights from our consultation, we begin the meticulous process of stringing your racket. 

 

3

Once the racket is strung, we perform a thorough quality assurance check. This includes verifying the string tension, checking the string pattern for any irregularities, and inspecting the racket frame for any damage that might have occurred during the stringing process.

 

4

The final stage involves returning the racket to you and explaining the work that was done. We will also provide some tips for maintaining the string's tension and overall racket care. After a few days, we follow up with you to ensure you're satisfied with the stringing service and the racket's performance on the court.

FAQs

Quick answers before your visit.

Do I Need A Restring?

  • Are your shots lacking in power?
  • Do you find your spin and slices not as sharp?
  • Are your net shots not as tight and well –controlled?
  • Does your strings sound dull and dead?
  • Do you have a broken string?
  • If you’ve answered YES to any of these questions, then your tennis racket needs a new restring.

How much does it cost?

Our re-string prices start from £18 and vary depending on string choices.

I'm coming from far can I string it on the spot?

This depends on how busy we are. The best way is to pre-book via the contact form and email to ensure we are able to string for you.

Can I bring my own string?

Yes you can provide your own string. There will be a £12 labour charge for the service.

What is your stringing process?

When you visit us we will carry out the following procedure to ensure your racket receives the highest quality of care.

Inspect your racket frame thoroughly for any cracks and damages. 

We will not advise you to restring your racket if there are any visible cracks or significant damage to the racket frame.

Inspect the grommets for any signs of damage or wear and tear

Damaged grommets will reduce the lifespan of a new string causing it to break much faster. During our restringing process we will replace any damage grommets, taking special notice of the area where the string broke in the first place.

Provide you detailed advice on which string to choose.

We know it can be very confusing with the wide range of strings and brands in the current market. Our team of stringers have been stringing for many years and will provide you with detailed advice on choosing the right string for your game.  We will take into account what you are looking for; durability, power or control and offer detailed advice on which string will bring the best out of your game.

Providing you with advice on the right tension for your game. 

String tensions are influenced by a variety of factors such as what kind of shuttles you play with and the standard you play at.  Our staff will identify the key points from your game and advice you on the best tension you should get to ensure you get the best performance possible.

Once the restring process is complete we will contact you via email or text message for you to come and pick up your freshly strung racket.

If you would like to read up on the different types of strings and tensions, then our ‘how to choose a tennis string’ guide will provide detailed information.

How do I know what string and tension I require? 

Our experienced staff will gladly assist you in choosing the right string and tension to bring out the best in your game. You can also check out our tennis string guide for detailed information.
