Tennis Racquet StringingHarrow
Precision restringing for players who can feel the difference. Measured string data, honest advice, every frame strung to the pound. From £20.
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.
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.

Five reels cover every type of game, so nobody has to browse four hundred strings. None of them fit? Bring your own and pay less.
The house poly of choice. One of the softest, most arm-friendly polyesters made, with excellent control, spin and tension maintenance. The default recommendation for club players who want poly performance without the harsh feel.
Maximum bite. The textured version of Nadal's string, built to grab the ball and generate heavy spin. Firmer and more durable than the Poly Tour Pro. The pick for big hitters and string breakers.
The comfort king. A premium multifilament with a soft, plush feel. The choice for players with arm concerns, or anyone who values touch over raw spin.
Reliable and affordable. A balanced blend of power, comfort and durability. Perfect for recreational players who want a dependable string without overthinking it.
Poly Tour Pro mains for control and spin, synthetic gut crosses for comfort and power. A very playable, forgiving hybrid that keeps most of the poly control while softening the feel. Great value.

String ratings are drawn from tennis community consensus (Talk Tennis, r/tennis, r/10s, Stringforum, Tennis Warehouse reviews and established reviewers), not marketing. Over 75 strings and hybrids.
Loyalty lives on your account. Each collected restring adds a stamp automatically, and the tenth job is on the house. No paper card, no app, nothing to remember.
Your account also shows every racquet's status live: received, on the machine, ready to collect.
Three days as standard. Drop off before 2pm on the express service and it is ready the next day for £30.
No. Leave them in, cutting them out properly is part of the job. If a string has already snapped, that is fine too.
That is the normal case. Use the Workbench for a data-backed recommendation, or leave both blank on the job sheet and I will pick based on how you play.
Yes, a full set (around 12 metres). Labour only is £20. If you bring a reel, I will measure what is needed.
The old rule holds: as many times per year as you play per week. Poly players should not go past 3 months even without a break, the string goes dead long before it snaps.
I check every frame on the mount. Small problems get sorted on the bench; anything bigger and I will message you before stringing.
