Badminton racket stringing done properly, in Arborfield Green.
Tournament-grade restringing on an electronic constant-pull machine with a 6-point mount. Drop your racket off, and I'll message you the moment it's ready — turnaround starts at one hour.
Why it plays better
Elite-level setup, without the tournament queue.
Every racket is strung on professional equipment by a UKRSA-certified stringer — the same standard you'd expect at a national tournament desk, five minutes from Arborfield Green.
Electronic constant pull
The machine actively re-pulls as the string relaxes, so every main and every cross reaches the exact tension you asked for — no drop-off between the first string and the last.
6-point mounting
Six contact points support the frame instead of two, spreading the load and protecting your racket from distortion — essential on stiff, high-modulus frames and at higher tensions.
Two-piece stringing
Mains and crosses are strung separately, so I can set a different tension for each — the usual elite request being crosses 1–2 lb above mains for a crisper, more controlled bed.
UKRSA certified
Trained and assessed by the UK Racket Stringers Association, so knotting, tensioning and frame care all follow a recognised professional standard.
Tension to your spec
Tell me the numbers and they're what you get. Not sure? Tell me your level, racket and what you want from it, and I'll recommend a string and tension that fits.
Fast when you need it
Turnaround starts at one hour when I have a slot free. Caught short before a match or tournament? Say so when you message and I'll fit you in if I can.
How it works
A drop-off and pick-up service.
Three steps, all arranged over WhatsApp. Drop-off and collection times are flexible, including evenings and weekends.
Message me
Send a WhatsApp with your racket, the string you'd like and your tension — or just tell me how you play and I'll advise. I'll confirm a drop-off time that works for you.
Drop the racket off
Bring it to Archer Grove, Arborfield Green (RG2 9TB). It takes a minute — hand it over, and you're free to get on with your day.
Collect when it's ready
I'll message you as soon as it's strung — sometimes within the hour — and we'll sort out a convenient time for you to pick it up.
Please note: this is a drop-off and pick-up service only — there's no wait-in stringing. Your racket stays with me between the two visits so it can be strung properly and given time to settle before you collect it.
Prices & strings
One price, string and fitting included.
Grip change
Replacement grip or overgrip fitted, free of charge with any restring.
Your own string
Bring your own set and I'll fit it — labour only, same machine, same care.
Customer-supplied strings are fitted at your own risk. I can't accept liability for breakage during or after stringing.
Choosing your tension
Higher isn't always better.
Contrary to common belief, high tension won't send your clears further. Lower tension gives you more distance but is harder to control; higher tension gives accuracy but demands cleaner technique and more strength. My recommendations:
Casual players
Generous power and a forgiving sweet spot while your technique is still developing.
Intermediate club players
The balanced middle ground — enough control to place shots, enough help to clear the court.
Advanced players
Crisp, precise and unforgiving. Best paired with a strong arm and a consistent swing.
Elite specs welcome. Higher tensions and separate main / cross tensions are all part of the service at no extra cost — just tell me the numbers when you drop the racket off.
