I thought I would share some information on tennis racket stringing. First of all, I have no personal interest and do not get any discounts for promoting their business. I just wanted other players to have this information since many people I talked to pay for stringing $20-25 sometimes without having top quality service.

I have been using this service for the last three years mostly for two reasons: it costs only $15 including string or $10 with your own string and it is the most reliable and consistent service I ever used. Gordie and Cathy Lehman are both members of US Stringing Association and they get officially certified every year. Since they use electronic stringing machine the tension consistency is guaranteed. They usually can do stringing right away or maybe overnight. Their address is 6115 Dodsworth drive, Raleigh, 27612, email lehman4@mindspring.com, phone 919-510-6698. There is one more thing. They are always willing to work with you to find a best solution to your stringing problems and they are fun to talk to.

I second Sergei's recommendation. They are very knowledgeable, which is great for those that are looking for the right selection of string and tension to help out their tennis game. They are also very close to Optimist Park and are available in the evenings for racquet drop off. I dropped mine off 7 o'clock at night and it was ready first thing the next morning. It is also less expensive then where I was stringing previously.
