<p>My name is Ben and I am based out of Waltham, MA. I have been stringing tennis rackets at a professional level for over 10 years, first starting out in local pro shops and now in my own business. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I use the same type of machine, tools, and techniques used by pro stringers at high-end tournaments around the world. I know many stringers personally, and I’ve visited stringing rooms at pro events to keep current on the latest developments in the industry. From what I’ve seen, if you were to take your racquet to a tournament for re-stringing, you would be charged $28 for labor (or more), and you would have to provide the string.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course, there are many home stringers who charge ten or twelve bucks for the whole job — including the string — but you’re typically at their mercy for what string is installed. If you’re lucky, they do calibrate their machines, and their clamps don’t slip and/or crush your string. Some of them have been stringing for decades, which can be good if they are conscientious about racquet service techniques, but it can be very bad if they’ve been stringing racquets the same, incorrect, way for years and years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am hoping to approach racquet re-stringing from a slightly different angle. After the cost of the stringing machine, and the hours of study, the biggest cost to running a stringing business is warehousing string for customers and potential customers. I’ve got hundreds of dollars of string inventory on hand, and it’s still not nearly enough to cover either all the interesting strings out there, or the strings used by the guys I see at the courts every time I play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This leaves most stringers with two choices: Stock a lot of strings and charge enough to make it worthwhile, or stock a few strings, and force customers to choose from among a few of the many great strings on the market.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong: If I have a string in stock that you like or want to try, I’m happy to sell it to you. But wouldn’t you rather be able to choose just about any string in the world, and get it for about the same price I pay? You can, thanks to outfits such as Tennis Warehouse or Amazon. Due to its tremendous buying power, Tennis Warehouse or Amazon offers a huge variety of top, name-brand strings, usually within pennies of my cost for buying that same string from a wholesale distributors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clearly, there’s no way I’m ever going to be able to compete against these companies on price, and I don’t want to try. What I suggest is that you pick out the strings you want and have me do the installation. This way, you get the best of both worlds: Massive selection, unbeatable prices, great availability, and professional installation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you bring me your racquet and string, I charge only $10 labor per racquet — 64 percent less than you’d pay a pro tournament stringer to do the same job. Because you’re paying rock-bottom prices for top-quality string and labor, you don’t have to play forever with a string you thought you’d like, but don’t. Cut it out and start over! Never again will you have to jeopardize your game just because you paid too much for a string that just isn’t right for your game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you don’t have any string on hand, you can tell me what you would like and I will order it, or you are welcome to choose from among the strings I keep on hand. My standard nylon and poly strings are not the least expensive on the market, but I believe them to be the best value for your money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Either way, you get the same quality string and the same professional service. With a little planning ahead, though, you can save money on every string job, and choose just about any string your heart desires.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Several websites also sells grips and overgrips, as well as bumperguards and grommet kits. If you bring me your new replacement grip, overgrip, or bumperguard, I’ll install it for free with any restringing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please send me a message for more details!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<h2>Humans have an inborn desire to know themselves.</h2>
<h2>Sports have become not only a discharger of accumulated energy but also a vehicle to show one’s mastery over a simple task, in most cases, of controlling and placing a ball, and a tool to learn controlling one’s body as well.</h2>
<h2>Whether baseball, basketball, tennis, football, soccer, golf, cricket, squash, badminton, handball, bowling, hockey, lacrosse, ping-pong or croquet, pool or billiards, mastery is, or isn’t, a simple thing.</h2>
<h2>Humans are very special beings, in essence more spiritual that we ever thought we are. There are many philosophies about that, the majority complicating one’s search with misconceptions, other obscuring who we really are.</h2>
<h2>The real science is that which clarifies not only who we really are, but that one that provides a path to rid of one’s barriers in the chameleon or labyrinth of one’s life.</h2>
<h2>While that science makes full appearance, tennis, the way I teach it, tending, trending and threading to an extreme simplicity, can lead to great joy. It permits you to feel and strive in that spirit-body connection which is the essence of all great performances in sports.</h2>
<h2>Thought and mechanics can either be aligned or fight each other. Alignment and simplicity brings you more feel, more calmness, closer to your essence, while added data can make you more solid and complicate the task.</h2>
<h2>It seems a conundrum, a complicated matter, but the opposite is truth, a simplicity to honor and behold: we are humans, body and spirit, lovely souls in which the spirit is King!</h2>
<h2>And what is a spirit? Well, JUST FEEL IT!</h2>
<h2>Feel your hands, feel your racquet, feel the ball, feel your body and feel the simplicity. Feel yourself!</h2>
