POSTPONED - STRINGING DEVELOPMENT Course - Norwich UKRSA HQ 2023
2023-01-07 | UKRSA HQ & Training Centre, 51 Proctor Road, Norwich, Norfolk, NR67PG, United Kingdom
Due to family illness, this event will need to be run later in the year, many apologies, Liam
This is the first of monthly one-day course aimed at those who are already stringing rackets but who may wish to get things checked out over a busy full day of racket servicing action. Most stringers who have been stringing for some years will not have been through a formal training course. Thats absolutely fine. As long as you are doing things that make sense and keep customers returning, then good. What we will be doing is checking that all is being done correctly.
We will spend time on answering your questions on why things are done in a certain way. What actually happens when the ball hits the strings, how tensions can affect everything, how racket frames need protection, what the professional players demand and why, how to run a successful stringing business. Its YOUR day to ask questions and hopefully I can give some answers.
You can bring along some rackets to work on if you wish, badminton, squash or tennis, though I have plenty here anyway. We will be working on two machines – Wilson Baiardo Lite and the latest Dunlop 3.0.
Your cost for the day is the usual £199.00 which will include one years UKRSA membership, free strings to take away, refreshments and usual biccies and sandwiches etc.
HEALTH WARNING – I have a 11 months old Staffy pup who will lick anyone to extreme measures! I can lock her away for the day though.
We are always looking for experienced stringers to help out with the tennis tournament stringing, so this day could be useful if that is something you might like.

2023 UKRSA Workshop - Solihull LTC - Sat 11th March 2023
2022-11-26 | Solihull Arden Club, Sharmans Cross Road, Solihull, B911RG
Hi all, we have – finally – managed to arrange an excellent venue for the next UKRSA Workshop, followed next day by the Racket Customising course.
The first Workshop we ran, in Milton Keynes was a great success. It was so good for the members to be able to meet up at last, put faces to names and also learn a few things. Last time round we had the Marketing session run by Paul Stewart and I was glued to my seat as that man knows just about everything there is to know about how to make sure that your skills and knowledge are properly advertised and presented. Makes no difference whether its stringing, customising or coaching, presentation and delivery in a professional manner is the key to keeping a good customer base.
This is also your chance to chat about your stringing business and share experiences. Its a 9.15 am start with coffee and then a 4.30pm finish. There will also be an evening session to cover Tournament Stringing, led by David Hall. Anyone already involved in the tournaments or who wish to become involved, this is for you.
The Workshop will be focused on all aspects of stringing – machines, strings, grips and you will have your chance to play around on the new Dunlop 3.0 machine. A good chance to ask questions on all aspects of racket servicing. We are also looking for new course tutors, so don’t be shy! We will be running more Course Tutor training courses later on in Frinton. We will have a good natter re what YOU want from the UKRSA and whether we need to make any changes.
If you have any equipment that you wish to sell then do bring it along. I will be bringing two manual machines to sell, plus bundles of spare strings.
The cost for the day will be just £60 and this will include all refreshments, your lunch and probably enough freebies to cover your cost!
Next day is the certificated Racket Customising course and your chance to learn about how to alter a rackets weight, swingweight and balance, how to match up rackets for specs, make adjustments to handles, grips and take frames apart. We will have a selection of machines to use, including the Dunlop Swingweight and the Prince Precision Tuning Centre, plus balance boards and lead flying everywhere. Mostly it will be tennis rackets but we also want to include squash and badminton rackets. Certificates awarded at the end of the day. Cost is £199.00. 9.15am through to 5pm. To include lunch and refreshments. To pay for the Workshop or Racket Customising course you can click & pay on the website event or contact me direct to book and pay on liam@ukrsa.com
The Solihull Arden club has been chosen for its central location, excellent facilities and already a UKRSA Stringing Service in operation! https://solihullarden.co.uk/
Myself, David Hall and Paul Stewart will be welcoming you on either or both days, Liam
