Amazing restring session (was quick and done to an excellent standard) and an all-around great individual (who is passionate about his work and hobby of racket sports).
£24 is a steal with the quality service given! 10/10
We had a positive experience at the shop while searching for a squash racket. Despite the desired brand not being in stock, the person in charge assisted us in selecting a suitable alternative. Additionally, the availability of racket stringing services makes it a great shop for all your racketing needs.
Very friendly and quick while-you-wait re-stringing service provided at a great value. The owner was very helpful in explaining which strings would be the best match for my game. Would definitely recommend.
Great place to get your racket strung. Even offering a while you wait service. Parking is easy and free. Staff/owner are friendly and knowledgeable with a good value offering. I'd definitely use these guys again for re-stringing or a racket upgrade.
I went today (05/10/19) and Jeff was one of the honest shop owners I have met in recent times. He looked at both the rackets thst I took with me for restringing and gave a honest feedback stating one already has the correct tension and strings are not looking bad, and another one is not worth restringing because it already lost its shape and not worth it because it will loose more shape because it being an fusion frame with aluminium head. Thanks Jeff for your honesty, will be visiting you again very soon.
Fantastic service. Friendly owner(?). Excellent restringing service too. Nice range of rackets some high end, some mid range. Something for everyone interested in tennis/badminton/squash. I'd recommend checking out the clearance section too. A few bargains.
