Tournament Stringer

This course focuses on developing the skills necessary for stringing in a tournament environment.

To get the maximum value from this course, you must be a very experienced stringer, preferably with some experience of stringing at club tournaments.

My personal experience as a stringer at tournaments all over the world, including all four Grand Slam Tournaments, gives me a unique insight into the skills required to perform well at these events.

This course is only suitable for highly experienced stringers, who have already strung at a number of tournaments.

The course prepares you for top level tournament stringing and can lead to the ERSA ‘Pro Tour Stringer’ certification.

Assessment Course

An ideal course for anyone who is considering applying for ERSA certification.

As an official ERSA certification tester, I can assess your ability according to the ERSA standards, and offer guidance on the best path to follow to achieve certification.

I can also assess your overall stringing ability and offer you advice on techniques to help you improve your stringing and the service you give your customers.

All lessons utilise a variety of machines, and are available 7 days a week at my workshop in Hillingdon, West London.

Although there is a fixed course outline, lessons can be tailored to suit your ability and requirements.
