Stringing
Prices
I've strung racquets for over 30 years. I string on an Alpha M8 electronic machine, calibrated regularly. Bring your own string and pay for labor only, or pick one of mine and the string is included. Tennis racquets only.
I keep polys, synthetics, nylons and multifilaments on the shelf. See what's in stock.
Picking a tension
Your racquet lists a tension range. Most players do best 1 to 2 pounds above the middle of that range. Higher tension gives more control. Lower tension gives more power. If you use full poly, go up to 10% lower to be easier on your arm.

Reviews
What players say
“Texted Dave about a restringing. He was very nice, flexible with drop off/pick up and he got it done by the next day. Super pleased.”
“Great experience. Texted Dave, responded quickly. Was able to meet him and handover the racquets and get it strung within a short time frame.”
“My kids have taken tennis lessons from him. The lessons are informative and active. He brings the energy.”
“He helped me pick the type of string and advised me on what weight might work best for me. … He even matched the strings with my racquet color.”
About
Hi, I'm Dave.
I've been in tennis for over 35 years as a player and coach. I played high school tennis at Odessa High School, then two years of college tennis at Odessa College. After four years in the U.S. Air Force, I finished college and started coaching high school tennis in 2002. This is my 22nd year. I also coached at a club for two years, and I've given lessons for 15 years.
I've collected sports cards since the mid-80s, when I was a kid. Now I sell them here and on eBay.
