Professional stringing service for all racquet types

"Just had my racquet restrung at IT Sports who were very helpful and knowledgeable too. Highly recommended."

Martin

Here at IT Sports, we provide an exceptional 1-hour* turnaround racquet restringing service, designed to meet all your needs.  For your convenience, we offer a notification system where you will receive a text when your racquet is ready for collection.

After restringing, an information strip detailing the string type, tension, date and stringer, will be attached to your racquet for easy record-keeping.  This record can be updated each time your racquet is restrung. 

*Pre-booking required

As a general guideline, we recommend restringing your racquet based on your weekly play frequency; for instance, if you play once a week, restringing once a year is advisable. 

Our service includes custom restringing for all professional frames.  For more information, please contact us directly.

"Great service. Got both my racquets here and always use them for restringing."

I had my tennis racquet re-strung somewhere else and it was not a success, being too harsh. Ian at IT Sports sorted me out and re-strung it again with a softer string much more suited to my advanced years and kinder to my joints. The racquet straightaway felt much better and league success was immediately apparent. Ian always provides a personal and straightforward service and is to be recommended.
