Typical Internet exaggeration. Those guys are 3.5 stringers at best with their nipples to the clamp techniqueNa, Cilic sends his racquets straight to the Tennis Warehouse tent. Those guys are fast.
Ouchtheir nipples to the clamp technique

Meanwhile in Osaka v Sakkari...
Sakkari sends two rackets to be restrung, 14 minutes later she is asking the umpire where they are...puts a different slant on same day service expectations
Don't shoot the messengerErgo, Brad Gilbert is a flat out liar.
Anyone who strings in 20 mins. is a flat out liar.

I can do a quality job from cutting out string to stencil and label in less than 25 minutes. I guarantee that the guys at this event can get a frame strung and in the bag in 15. I know a lot of guys who have or currently string pro events who are fast and accurate.It's impossible to string a racquet in less than 20 minutes. Anyone telling you so is a flat out liar
https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/broke-the-2-hour-mark.608422/#post-12025214Get educated before you make these kind of remarks.
I have had the opportunity to string for the Australian Open, U.S.Open and Masters 1000 series, and numerous 250 level events. I was in the middle of the pack as far as speed. Stringing 3 in an hour is not unusual. Some guys/ girls are a little faster, some a little slower. You would not want to do 12 minute string jobs for an extended period of time. Too much stress. I cannot do a 12 minute professional job. 16-17 minute on court is possible for me if everything is "in sync"
The % of 18 x 20 has gone down over the past few years. A lot of variables there. Guys, Girls, Pros, College, Juniors? Guy pros around 70% a few years ago. Down to 50% to 55% now.Just out of curiosity, What would be the % of frames that youve done at these events that are 18/20 pattern? (In a day, I should specify), tnx..
While that might seem a good thing for the sttinger at first (since 18/20s are more time consuming), Im think that's also bad...The % of 18 x 20 has gone down over the past few years.

Good professional stringer can do it in 15 minutes. so they must have used 2 different' stringers ??Watching the Cilic v Kohlschreiber match.
Cilic sent two rackets off-court at 20:00...one of them was delivered back to him at 20:18!

50%. Think about the frames you see on TV. If it is an Ultra, Blade, or Burn paintjob it's probably 18x20. If it's a bab or yonex, it is what it is for an off the shelf. It it's a head it just depends on which model the player reps, some of the prestiges are 16x19, most are 18x20.
I don't truly know its usually taken out of prize money. I think I heard the guys say $26 per last summer.Yeah, tnx; somehow I figured it would be a higher %,,
I guess it kinda makes sense though, since racquets get switched out after a few games anyway,, and stringers are turning them out quicker,,,
1 other question, (dont need to be too specific,, ball park is good),,, whats the going $rate for 1x stringing at a pro event? (Just the stringing,, since dif strings can cost diff..)
Liar!Na, Cilic sends his racquets straight to the Tennis Warehouse tent. Those guys are fast.
