LOL. I string at a pro shop, at the tennis club I live at, and lots of tourneys. That said, I don't aniticipate doing that many again. I may drop some tourneys this year.

Damn!!! Even given the benefit of the doubt at 25 min/racquet that's 5.7+ hours of stringing per day 365 days/year!!! I hope you get P-A-I-D!!!!! (and hopefully get to eat, breathe, and play a few sets)!!! (and I want to know all you secrets ). The force is definitely with you!!!

Not yet. He hasn't turned in any frames. His first match is tomorrow, so I should start seeing frames from him soon.

Ah, not this myth again... We busted it already... Frame surface area is about 14 sqin. If Head measured from the outside, their 98 would actually be an 84...
However, their 98 really is 95. Apparently, that comes from roundig off of the conversions from sqin to sqcm and back.
