I like the ESS Pro stringing at the Yonex showroom, Central World Plaza 3rd level. Not sure if they will string it up to 28lbs but after I agreed that I will not be able to make a claim if the racquet breaks, they strung my yonex racquets at 25lbs (even though it exceeded the recommended tension). I thought the tension felt much tighter than those string jobs done in Singapore.

Do a search for First Sport on the forum, someone posted a map before. I also gave direction on how to get there using the train.

The distance from the train to the shop is not far, distance around 450m.

**BJOOI** · 06-15-2009, 04:10 AM

Ok.. got it. But do customers need to bargain for the price?

Ha.. same here & for the same reasons.

I though classic's tension felt a bit tighter than other places already. Will be getting my Cab30 back from my friend who helped me string in JB... 25lbs only and lets see how it goes tomorrow.

Classic Sports Stringing is good.

Sportshop (@ Ang Mo Kio) is good as well. But the tension is 1-2 lbs tighter than Classic Sports.

Understand that 10&10 stringing @ Bras Basah is very popular as well.

Not sure does Yonex produce 4U/G5 AT900T/P. Thailand Yonex Website only show 4U/G4 and no 4U/G5. So just be caution.

It is definitely 4U/G5 and I also got the warranty card. The serial number and specs are engraved on the cone so I think it is original.

I have bought quite a few racquets from Sports Marketing/First Sports and I have no doubt on their authencity.
