Free string sample for USRSA members

[jim e]

I found this site today, for free string sample.
You need to be a USRSA member, and I know there are a # of members on this site, so you may as well take advantage. At least with this one you have a choice between a few string samples.
Even if you don't care for this brand, the price is right, and maybe a friend would like a free string job. Jim

It would be nice to find a site for samples on a weekly basis! I'll have to keep checking!

USRSA, You get their digest sent to you 2- 3 times / year, to keep you updated on the new racquet patterns always coming out. You also get full access to their web site.(there are patterns there of years ago thats hard to find anywhere else) and you can call their technicians to get personel help if you run into a problem, (fortunatly I never had to as yet!), and you get RSI magazine, and in there, there is an offer to get free string samples in most of their issues, that in itself, just about pays you back what the membership costs. They gave away a lot of string this year
There is deals for members,on certain products, direct from manuf/dist. like bolle sunglasses,the parole,or vigilante for $55.00.
If you have any doubts, you can join for 1 year, and take it from there.
So in my opinion, it is well worth the money.
When I was beginning to string in the 60's this place was not avail.It's a worth while orginization.

Thanks for this post Jim. (And for the "heads up" via email - Guys with the same stringing machine need to stick together, right? )

I tried the link around Noon EST today and again tonight (around 7:00 PM), but I can't get to the site. Seems like it might be down. Anyone else having this problem? I'll keep trying though because I always love to get free string!

Regarding the USRSA membership, I think it is well worth it. I joined in late Summer and already received a free set of Gamma Zo Tour. Plus, the Digest has been very helpful as I learn new patterns.

Thanks again.

Just went on the site, it is back up and running, but I ? for how much longer. ? why they stopped it for that short amount of time. Jim

Thanks Jim. Earlier today, I saw that it was back up and running, but I didn't have my USRSA # with me. I'm going to go try to request a sample right now.

Looks like it is down again. Now, up again. Strange.
