    Try contacting Jacky or just go to stadium sport in Box Hill central.

    Thanks for your help guys! I been to Xin's sport before but they only do 2 knoks stringing and $15.00 each service seems a bit expensive since we almost do 20 racket a month :)

    Jacky does $10 labour per racket but he doesn't like going over the recommended tension. Probably due to a warranty issue.

    chris@ccc charging $20 labour cost for restring each Badminton racket

    .
    Hi radar_s,

    It is supposed that Xin could string each racket per 45 minutes, and Jacky per 30 minutes.

    I charge $20 labour cost per hour... so I charge $20.00 per racket because it takes me one hour to restring each Badminton racket correctly(with 4 knots).

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    I live in ivanhoe, melbourne and i charge $15 labour plus the cost of the string. I string on an Extreme Sports RX-v2 machine.

    Strings i have are:
    Yonex BG 65 - $13
    Yonex Nanogy 95 - $19
    Yonex BG 66 - $14

    I am currently looking over the forums for the most popular strings out there so that i can use the money i make in labour to buy some different strings. It takes me generally 30 minutes to do a racquet, depending on the difficulty. I also will do the racquet why you wait, so if we can organise a time one night, you can have a beer with me while i string your racquet!

    EDIT: I am nots sure what the recomended prices should be for badminton stringing, but i do over 80 tennis racquets a week, and the $15 labour charge plus string is actually quite cheap compared to some stores in melbourne.

    Restringing for badminton rackets cost about $10-30 so your price is pretty good. The string cost for what you have is a bit expensive though.
