A I learned to string two-piece watching various videos. I would also recommend getting some cheap string to learn with first. I wasted some string when learning lol ...
I'm surprised at how many people go to a shop. I guess around the U.S. there aren't too many shops that string badminton rackets for you.
I string for my family, friends and club members. If you are in Sydney, I am located in the Carlingford area. I do around 150-200 racquets a year, not a lot, but have been stringing since around 1983. If you are wanting to do your own stringing, I can teach you how to string.
Every string other than BG80 for that stringer, lol. But fortunately I string myself now and can test whatever I want.
C. Always go to a shop. Personally I always go to ClearOne in Calgary, they have good prices just unless you bring your own string, they will use their reels which are the usual white, gold, etc... so if you want a specific colour just get it from MBS or something. Another thing about c1 Calgary is that the stringer there always procrastinates so expect him to delay your stringing. That's the only real problem. And he uses 2 knots method for all stringing.
C) Go to shop for re-string I'm from Malaysia & I just try out a new shop located at ChaiLeng park,Penang..What a lucky, the shop's stringer was selected to Maybank Malaysian Badminton Open last week for stringing/guard player racquets especially for Victor brand one..
A. I string my rackets, friends rackets and all rackets at my club. Rarely maximum once a year, I try a stringer, but only if he is really known for his great work to proof. I would like to try @Mark_A and Grandmaster Kakinami but they are too far away. :crying:
I had the pleasure of having one of my rackets strung by Alan, but I was too inexperienced to know him and his work. BTW does anyone know any good places to string in San Diego?
I had to learn how to string because I moved to a country that didn't have badminton. Gotta do whatever it takes to maintain your hobby/passion.
