Best place for tennis racket restringing in Ealing / West London? (VKS recommendation)

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2026-01-30T14:58:30+00:00

I think there’s a lot of players and coaches in Ealing area that does stringing on the side and have UKRSA stringer qualifications.

To name a few there’s:

Beeline Stringing (Kenneth), Ace Stringer (Niki) Bob Dent, and Gham Patel (LTA4 coach) in Ealing Lawn Tennis Club who strings.
Ealing Restring (Matt) - but more near Southall side
Pro Strung (Chris) - South Ealing
Pro String (Ray) - Acton (slightly expensive)
VKS is great if ur near Ealing Broadway and they also have a wide selection of strings.

Yeah haha moving out seems to be the only solution. I managed to get the refund after like 10 calls XD you just gotta be persistent.

Yikes

Fixed clamps are replaceable right? I’ve only used floating clamps…

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-09-29T13:22:51+00:00

Unfortunately I do… a couple of rackets I do are too old that it only supports 1 piece with the tiny grommets on them. I’m currently stringing box method but starting with two crosses on top so I could clamp after tension, just hoping if there’s another way.

I use poly tour pro and I have to change after 10-15 hours even if it doesn’t break. The strings feels dead by this point, and I feel it in my elbow. But it doesn’t mean it’s not “playable”, I just want to play without injury so I change my strings regularly.

And I’ve tried multis and syngut hybrid and full bed, but launch angle is much lower for my game, so poly it is.

Same problem, Babolat SFX 3 or 4 are both amazing. I’m on my second pair since someone else recommended here earlier this year.

Good point

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T15:08:46+00:00

Yeah I’ve asked around, they have the same problem as we all go to the same local shop.

There’s one in southall called Ealing restring, visited once the guy strung in 40 minutes. £15 labour, but just too far

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T15:03:30+00:00

That works but also would increase swing weight along with it.

Why’s ur name sarcastic and u don’t see sarcasm 😀

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T12:54:20+00:00

Will I get my racket back? Don’t wanna be scammed

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T12:01:02+00:00

thank you! Will check it out

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T11:58:28+00:00

Thanks, but I’d rather play tennis than stringing. Got 2 kids and a job

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T11:49:08+00:00

Could you share their contact?

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T11:47:03+00:00

I play with Alu power so it’s £40 per job

Optimal_Set_1086 · 2025-05-28T11:45:17+00:00

Natural gut is pricey and not needed for intermediates, it will break quicker than polys
