    I like the stringing way Monica of racketsupply used on my racket. They are not the cheapest but I will still go for them if I was still at Bay Area.

    I have a drop-weight one. The tension is accurate; however, it takes too long to string one racket. Are you using ST-200? Many people use that one since it is identical to its Yonex counterpart.

    Back to the topic, most shops in bay area are pretty Ok as long as you know who is stringing your racket. If the stringer also plays badminton, the chance that things go wrong would be thin. But I did have one friend who sent rackets for restringing at a certain place and the rackets cracked at the second time after he got them back. Therefore, he is not going to bring the racket there for restring even though it is a little bit cheaper.

    Yep, I have the ST-200. It's a nice, simple machine. I like it, great bang-for-the-buck. :)
