Here in Minnesota, USA, I pay $20 for restringing. How much do you pay for restringing? Also, for those who string racquet for others, how much do you charge? Ben
same question as reddog, with $20 you should get decent string included, if not, that's kind of a rip-off. When I string, it depends on the people I guess, cheaper for friends you know. Usually it's whatever the string cost me plus ~$10 for labor. So typically the price range from $10(own string)-$20(BG-80,85) with most stringing job at $15.
In NY, it's expensive for everything. Since badminton is not that popular here compare to west coast and Canada, here's my story: I know this place (about 10 miles away from home) for re-string: $ 26: BG65 + labor, so, there's no need to metion other stuff. The other stringer (about 1 mile away from my club), charges $10 for BG-65 (the string, not labor) already, so, do I need to continue?? That's why I bought myself a string machine for my rackets (1 of them waiting for several months just for re-string), and several of my friends. Currently, I did not "do business" in public yet, however, that will be my next move.
agree with LB from above, stringing places around me all cost $20+ so that's why I got my own machine. Kinda get you closer to your racquet too.
Wow ... $26 US for BG-65 ... wish I could charge that even in Cdn $$. I charge $20 CDN for BG-65 (including labour), in Toronto, and labour only is $12 CDN.
Update: $26 USD if u r a memeber $28 USD, I believe, if u r not While, not too much stringers around, so, ppl have no choice I guess. Therefore, u know why I would racket just put aside my racket, and wait for my string machine.
ok. kwun is moving to NYC, live in my sis' storage room, and string full time. dude, $26 for bg65? if i can do 10 a day, i will be living a pretty happy life. i used to have my own machine. i lived in Pittsburgh, there are only one place which does stringing, and those bozos doesn't have a clue, they will string too little and also deform rackets. and they charged $15 for labor only. nowadays, stringing around here is between $10-$13 for labor. if i can, i try to hold my racket till i go to HK. both string and labor is pretty cheap there.
yea i usually get my mp77 strung with bg70, costs $23 CDN altogether, stringing and labor. not a bad price when i see what the stores in the states charge. i'd like to learn how to string, but dont have the cash to buy a machine... darn.
The prices for restringing in the States are extremely expensive! In Singapore: (Total Cost including strings and labour) BG65 : S$11 = US$6.30 = $9.90 CDN BG66 : S$12 = US6.80 = $10.80 CDN BG68Ti or BG85 : S$15 = US$8.50 = $13.50 CDN Bring own strings : S$6 = US$3.40 = $5.40 CDN Other strings like BG70 Pro, BG80, Gosen, Ashaway, Forten, etc : Less than (S$18 = US$10.20 = $16.10 CDN)
yep everything damn, singapore's prices are even better than in canada with those prices i wouldnt mind restringing a bit more often
BG85 HK$80-90 - around US$11. BG65 HK$60-70 - around US$9. But not all stringers are willing to string in High tension.
For BG65: US $8 For BG80,85, 68TI: US $8.5 But only 2-ends stringing method (instead of 4). Acutally I cannot distinguish their difference, although someone says 4-ends stringing is better.
in manila the stringers charges arnd php60 to php80 or US$1.00 to US$1.25 per racket...you bring your own string
Cooler ... Lee's prices include all taxes ... so it's $17 for BG-65 ... that's the best price I know of in TO. I charge $20 myself. But as a customer, even at $17, I would never get my racquet strung at Lee's. Enough said.
Agree... Ai... maybe it's the time that 2 of us considering move to the west coast together... Imagine, badminton 6 days a week, cheaper racket, cheaper accessories... Sounds like a heaven...
