US Stringing Tour 2022

Come back here after the 28th of September to read details of my trip to California to visit, learn from some of the best stringers in the world, and be part of the racquet stringing teams at the ATP Challenger Tournaments at Tiburon and Fairfield CA.

27th September

Well, it's started! Left home today for Heathrow and tomorrows flights to Sacramento, and as normal I receive calls and texts wanting to buy tennis balls, Padel bats, I'm amazed no-one as asked for a restring!

And the strangest thing this evening, I sit in the Hilton restaurant for dinner and sit next to a couple who live only 8 minutes from my son in New Hampshire!

Started for real today, I seem to be the one stringing the natural gut frames all with 10% prestretch. Popular combination seems to be natural gut mains or crosses combined with Alu Power Rough, in 18x20 frames!! 15 frames.
