Tennis stringing is an art that very often goes unnoticed. The majority of tennis hackers buy racquets that come pre-installed with thick, nylon strings. Those strings are so unplayable and unresponsive that it really defeats the purpose of playing. By the time the strings break, if ever, people just bring their sticks into any national sporting chain for Joe Blow to restring their racquet with another crappy string. Joe Blow is usually some high-school punk who is getting paid minimum wage to string racquets, sharpen skates, and tune bicycles. He may appear to be a jack of all trades but he’s probably incompetent in all areas. Master Racquet Technicians (MRT) are the people you should be bringing your tennis racquets for all your tennis needs. They restring racquets but they are also trained in racquet customization. If you need to balance your racquet to make it more head-light (more maneuverable) or to add weight for more power, they are the ones that can do the job right. If your handle is too small and is slipping from your hands, MRTs can increase the grip size for you. Many successful racquet technicians travel around to world to string for the professional tennis players and make a very comfortable living in a field that they are very passionate about. Roger Federer and other top tennis players always stick to one person they trust for their stringing needs. A lot care and detail goes into stringing racquets and although the technique is standard, everyone has their own unique and preferred methods. A racquet strung at 60 pounds by person A will be slightly different when done by person B due to different stringing machines and methods. It makes perfect sense for a pro to only trust their racquet to one person. It doesn’t make sense though for Jennifer Lopez to demand that only one person in the world to pluck her eyebrows because nothing, besides a miracle, can help her out.
