Hi everyone, One of the problems I face often as a stringer is that I receive too many rackets and don't really have an efficient system or setup to keep them all organized. It would be really nice to include a picture of your setup of how you guys handle this issue. Thanks a bunch!
How many is "too many"? I usually just line them up leaning against the wall as my stringing area is kinda small and my backlog usually don't go over 10 rackets.
I have a field on my stringrequest form on which the customer an say on what day he want the racket back. Some people need the rackets a week later, some tomorrow... So why should i string the racket for in week first?
I have a few long and thin screws in the wall of my stringing corner to store them. When I receive rackets I use small stickers and write on them owner|string|tension|returning date|price and stick them on the cone or shaft immediately. So I have no problem to organize myself. I know everything important and can do my job efficient. I keep it like Alex82 and do the needed rackets first and then the rest.
Here is my setup. I have 5 hooks with each holding up to 2 rackets. I wrote my own web application data warehouse to track string jobs (tension, frequency, etc)
Slatwall + hooks is a pretty good setup. I've also seen people with multiple small garbage bins like this: http://i131.twenga.com/supplies/bin/jastek-rectangular-plastic-waste-tp_2613110368690518048f.jpg One for strung rackets, one for urgent rackets, one for other rackets, etc. You can sort them as you want.
