The Craft

The cheapest upgrade
in tennis

Same frame, different animal. Fresh string at the right tension gives you more bite on the topspin, easier depth when your arm is tired, and a sweet spot you can find without looking.

Most players wait for a snap. By then the string bed has been dead for months, and a dead bed is why winners stop coming off the same swing. String is not an accessory. It is the only part of the racquet that touches the ball.

Stringsmith is a one-man workshop in South Harrow. Every frame goes on a Gamma Momentum 6+, gets strung to the pound, and comes back with a straight answer: what went on, at what tension, and why.

The Bench

Gamma Momentum 6+

Precision without electronics. A drop weight is pure physics: gravity does not drift and does not need calibrating. It pulls the same pound on your racquet as it did on the last hundred.

Why a drop weight? Electronic machines are faster. A drop weight is accurate on every single pull, and this is a one-frame-at-a-time bench. Accuracy wins.
