Pro Tour Stringer - AMA

Hi everyone!

 

My name is Jamie and I'm a pro stringer. I've strung at several big events over the last couple of years, including Wimbledon for the past two years (I should be back there again this year). 

 

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about stringing on tour (provided the information isn't too sensitive) and stringing in general. So, ask away!

It is basically a Pro Staff Classic, though it doesn't have the perimeter weighting system. Instead he has strips of lead where the PWS should be, but the grommets in that area are clearly cut down to size.

Isn't 1.35 more like a 15 gauge? I can't believe he's using that fat of a string!

I think technically 15 gauge is used to describe strings that are 1.40 and thicker. However, some manufacturers differ in their description of gauge.

i see, I always string my own rackets from the throat. Nadal also likes his rackets to be strung from the bottom up.....
