The Process

How It Works

01

Drop Off

Fill out the form below with your preferred setup and drop your racket off at our Upper East Side location. Racket drop off may also be feasible in Midtown midweek.

02

We String

Detailed stringing with your choice of string and tension. Or consult us for a setup recommendation.

03

Pick Up

Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours — we'll let you know when your racket is ready for pickup so you can get back out there. Same-day requests can be accommodated for an additional fee.

What We Carry

Strings & Pricing

All prices include a $25 labor fee. Not sure which string is right for you? Just ask — we'll help you pick.

Easy & Arm-Friendly

Dunlop S-Gut (17/1.25mm)

Synthetic Gut
$32

Comfortable. Consistent. Affordable.

A sensible all-around string for casual players and beginners. Reliable feel at an accessible price — no frills, just playability.

Wilson Sensation Plus (17/1.28mm)

Multifilament
$41

Arm-friendly. Natural feel.

Mimics the lively comfort of natural gut at a fraction of the cost. Great standalone or as a cross string in a hybrid setup paired with poly mains.

Performance Polyester

Yonex Polytour Drive (16/1.25mm)

Polyester
$35

Control with comfort.

Performance-level control without the stiffness. Softer and rounder than Hyper-G, with more feel and touch on finesse shots.

Head Hawk Touch (17/1.25mm)

Polyester
$40

Polyester without the punishment.

A softer co-poly built for feel and arm comfort. A great pick for players who want poly-level control but find traditional polys too stiff or harsh on the elbow.

Solinco Hyper-G (16/1.30mm)

Polyester
$39

More spin. More depth.

Square-shaped poly that bites into the ball aggressively. Best for players with a developed swing who want to shape shots with heavier topspin.

Babolat RPM Blast (16/1.30mm)

Polyester
$47

Nadal's string. Heavy spin.

Slick co-polyester construction promotes aggressive snap-back for heavy topspin at high swing speeds. The spin-first tour choice.
