    AHh... just broke my strings today in one of the first games...... BG-80 finally died after about 3 and 2/3 month's .................

    I'm playing on wednesday so need to find so meone quick! anyone here can do a good string job?

    I would go to Yo's but it's too far (very cheap though... $12!)... i can probably go there on weekends..... I don't wanna go to browns because expensive and bad service but they are close.... those crazy bastards charge $35 + 15 percent tax for bg-80 stringing.....

    I have my own string so I just need the stringer (I'll pay the labour) ...

    Straub Sports

    Hi ASDFASDF,

    The place I referred you to, Straub Sports, is on 1268 Yonge St (South of St. Clair). I have not been there in about a year, but I do recall seeing it not too long ago driving by.

    I tried the phone number I have (416) 923-5128 ... but it is not valid any more ... maybe they closed down ...

    Hi,

    x-er --> I can string your racquet ... I don't have a retail outlet .. so you would have to drop it off at my home or work. Email me for details --> mfjamal@yahoo.com

    there are a few other places but the only one I would recommend if Yo's in Makham.

    TOmike --> Browns web site is http://www.brownssports.com/

    However, I would stay away from here, the have very poor service and lack of badminton knowledge in my opinion. I think this sentiment is shared by others on here as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Whoa... $12 to string a racquet with bg-80 at Yo's? Can anyone confirm this? The other places are $30ish.

    He means with his own strings, not including string. So $12 is for labour only.
