"All Strings Attached" Racquet Stringing Service (Scroll Down for Price List)

Who are we? All Strings Attached is a low-cost, high-quality alternative to getting your racquet strung at a pro shop. By getting your racquet strung locally by All Strings Attached, you will receive a professional string job, done on a professional stringing machine, by an experienced, USRSA member, without paying high pro shop prices. All Strings Attached strings tennis, racquetball, squash and badminton racquets.

What are my qualifications? I first started stringing racquets nine years ago through Abenaqui Country Club in Rye, NH. This is the fifth year All Strings Attached has been in business. On average, I string 150-200 racquets per year working year-round. I'm the club stringer for Longfield Tennis Club in Rye. In addition, I enjoy serving the many customers who contact me directly. I am a member of the United States Racquet Stringers Association (USRSA).

How does it work? Just call (603) 427-2830 to make arrangements to drop off your racquet. Your racquet will be ready for pick-up within 2-3 days. That's it! It's that simple! Or, alternatively, drop your racquet off at a participating club and give me a call and I'll pick up and deliver your racquet back to the club at no additional charge.

The price? That’s the best part!

1. If you have a desire to try a specialty string, Go for it! Otherwise, try an all-around string.
2. Choose the thinnest string you think will last a satisfactory time for you. 16 gauge is "middle of the road." If you don't often break strings, try a thinner string (17 gauge). If you're still unsure, try a thinner string, because everything else being equal, thinner strings are superior performers. You can always try a thicker string next time if you want it to last longer.
3. Brand? Don't know which to choose? The Prince 16 or 17 is a fine value and good all-around string. Or, try Gamma TNT 16 or 17, my most popular string, and a personal favorite. Gamma Live Wire 16 or 17 is also an excellent choice!
4. Questions? Don't hesitate to call me (Thad Ackerman, 603-427-2830)

                          choice and a personal favorite.

                          weather-protective coating and is more
                          durable than many synthetics.

Prince Topspin 16+        A textured string with a raised contoured
                          edge.  It "grabs" the ball more, providing

                          extremely durable and provides maximum spin.

                          "gears."  The crosses are a 16 gauge softer
                          syn. gut to provide more feel.  A very
                          popular choice.

                          TNT.  The mains are kevlar for increased
                          durability.  The crosses are Gamma TNT Rx17.

                          Lower tensions = Less Control, More Power
                          (everything else being equal)
