patrick m replied to William Doan's discussion 'Have I just been ripped off?'"30 dollars for a basic synthetic gut string is not unheard of but I would say you didnt exactly get a good deal either. I think it also depends on the market your in. I offer my clients professional stringing services by a MRT certified stringer and…"

That is the Stringing market. if you would like a more affordable way to string your racquest you have several Options. 1 buy a cheap stringer and string it yourself. there is a learning cure for…"
Serge T. replied to William Doan's discussion 'Have I just been ripped off?'"Wow that is a lot. If you are questioning the labor price, then for less than a new racquet you can buy yourself a stringing machine and pay 3.99 for that same string job doing it yourself.

So I just got my tennis racquet restrunged, for $30. I had told him that I wanted more control. (My tennis racquet is a Prince O3 Speedport 116 fyi.)

A Hybrid set (Babolat Hurricane Tour with Xcell) it costs around 17 Euro/ 23…"
Mark / The Mayor replied to William Doan's discussion 'Have I just been ripped off?'"Yeah, but those guys charge you 20 or 25 bucks for the strings. I think that could work, but I suggest you post in the local Tennisopois group discussion forum looking for a stringer. Many avid tennis players string for others as a hobby and side…"
William Doan replied to William Doan's discussion 'Have I just been ripped off?'"So in my situation, I was being charged more for the labor of getting it stringed. I have heard of places like Sports Authority that will string your racquet for free if you just buy the strings."

Mark / The Mayor replied to William Doan's discussion 'Have I just been ripped off?'"There ARE less expensive stringers out there. We have a fantastic, world-class, stringer here that used to travel with the pros. He charges about 30 bucks labor. I get my racquet strung by a young tennis fanatic/ college student that charges me 10…"
