About the service
Expert Stringing at Your Local Club
There is no need to post your racket away or hunt for a specialist. Southbourne Tennis Club has long offered a professional racket stringing service, carried out right here on-site by our own club stringer, Matt Sanger. With decades of stringing experience under his belt, Matt brings real expertise to every racket he works on.
Whether your strings have snapped mid-match or you simply want a fresh tension before the new season, Matt can get you back on court quickly with a quality finish. He offers a range of string options to suit every playing style and budget, from a budget-friendly synthetic gut to the high-performance Babolat RPM Blast favoured by competitive players.
Using this service means keeping your money at the club and directly supporting the coaching team who make STC such a great place to play.
