    Hi anyone,
    Can someone share any information where one can get badminton racket strung in Sydney other than the tennis pro shops that charges $30-$33. Some of the tennis pro shop don't even stock badminton strings (tennis/squash yes). I used to have mine strung with Tony Suhery (but he stopped doing it for quite a while).
    Thanks

    Most clubs around Sydney will have at least one stringer who frequents it (or if not then someone who knows stringers). Try rocking up to a club and asking around. I know UNSW and UTS both have a couple each.

    I suppose I just have to drop into UNSW to enquire who does stringing there.
    Would that be the club days (Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon) at UNSW that I might find the stringers? It's been a while since I have been there.

    Correct, Tuesday evening 8-11pm and Saturday afternoons 1-6pm. There are 2 or 3 stringers so just ask someone for who they are when you get there. Good luck!

    the shop "Love All Tennis & Leisure" in Macquarie Centre (cor Herring and Waterloo Roads, North Ryde), ph 02 9887 2424.

    i've always had my rackets strung there.

    you just pay for the string. the price depends on the brand. yonex approx starts from $25+.

    note: this is not a paid ad ;)

    Thanks. At least I know one familiar place for the stringing.It does sound strange that I have to go back there considering I used to play there every Tue and Sat for so many years as well as represent the uni (Tony doing the stringing there then).

    Once again thanks

    Mate,

    There are a few stringers around Hurtsville who do a decent job for about $18-22 depending on the string.

    Best of luck.

    Wollongong Stringer

    Mate,

    If you happen to be down south near Wollongong, you can try using his service. He's a former NSW player and playing competitively for 40 years now. A veteran and just won 3 gold medals in Australian Masters 2007 in Adelaide. He sells rackets as well. Can be delivered all over australia.

    This old bugger still can give grade A players a good whip. What daya reckon? Join him for a game and the Uni.
    His name is Dr. Iggy hp: 041-124-4019

    Good luck mate.
    ta.:)
