Racket Restringing
This is the process of removing the current string in the racket, (this may be for a variety of reasons, such as; a string has broken, the strings have gone dead or you just simply because you want to try something new. We will aim to have the racket restrung in up to three days (Yes, only 72 hours!), however options that require strings to be ordered in may require extra time. Alternatively, we can often do an express service which has a quicker turnaround, but may require an additional fee. Below is a price list for the different options available.

Racket Regripping
Having your racket re-gripped or using a new overgrip on can actually make quite a large difference to the racket. With a new grip you may notice an increased amount of control, a new grip is more likely to keep the racket in your hand. In addition, a new overgrip often makes a player feel more connected with the racket and results in a better feeling and understanding whilst playing. A very important aspect of ensuring your grip is the correct size is it will also potentially help prevent tennis elbow in many circumstances. The coaching team can personally advise you on this.

- Pro's Pro Super Tacky, overgrip, enquirer for colour options
- Own The Zone EcoGrip, overgrip, white

Grommet Replacement
Grommets are the guides that a string goes through in the racket. In most rackets these grommet sets are removable and therefore can be replaced. Often the bumper guard (the plastic protection along the top of the frame) wears away, which causes any contact to the top of the frame to damage the racket, if this has occurred then we strongly suggest that we help you replace the bumper in order to protect your frame. Grommet sets can also become damaged from strings causing it to set. For most rackets replacement grommet sets can be found, however occasionally some grommet sets have been discontinued,
Prices include the cost of the grommet set + £5 for installation.
String Logo Application
GSMTA offers a free logo application to each fresh restring on Head rackets. String logo application is available for other rackets and brands, but they may entail an additional charge, if this is something that you may be interested in then please feel free to inquire for more information.
Racket Care Lending Service
GSMTA offers a Racket Care Lending Service (RCLS) whilst your racket is with us. We always have a variety of Head rackets in stock which we will happily lend to customers, please ensure you let us know you may require a substitute racket. Please note rackets lent to customers in good faith will be expected to, upon return be undamaged in any way. If damage is observed then the racket cost should be reimbursed to the coach.
Disclaimer - Our stringers will do their absolute best to ensure the racket is the most suitable for the player/situation, however, if you have any specific requirements then please ensure that our stringer is aware of this before service has started.
Please note: We expect that all rackets are in a suitable condition for stringing, this means that any racket under our care will not be further damaged as a result of our service. If we feel there is any risk to the frame or it has any imperfections or damage that may break while whilst in our care we will inform you immediately. Once the racket is in our care the customer wavies his or her rights to any subsequent claims.
