or players who don't like the feel of a polyester string.

Should be available by Tuesday 4th Nov 2014
Same price as always £16 for the restring

Well here is my Powerangle racket all strung up with Pro's Pro Solar ready for testing:
Stringing with Solar is very easy, nice soft string no kinking, just a hint of bite when pulling tension on the crosses so maybe we will get some spin potential ? (Also strung a Wilson Blade 98 with this string) If the rain eases of I might get to the courts tonight.
Got to the courts with the Ball Machine hit around 1200 balls really like this string nice feel, string seems to bite on the ball as well, power is there very good. If you don't like the feel of a polyester string try this string out, it's very good!


Cheers!

The Stringers  delight! (and main income!)

1/10/2014

Yes it has arrived the stringers main source of income! The SPIN (open string pattern) racket it maybe a 16m x 15c or any combination of less crosses than the normal 19 but it is great for the stringer but not so for the player.
The strings will last a maximium of 12 playing hours because of the wear on the strings that produces the movement that produces the spin !
That movement means that the strings are being sawed to pieces! 
But there has been a racket that has been available that produces more and is very easy on the strings, before you try a New Spin racket (open string pattern) try out a PowerAngle racket it will give you at least 3 x times the string life of the "NEW Spin rackets"! and it is far better for your arm! I have tried both types and guess which one I still use?

PowerAngle the number one choice of spin/control players!

Oh and it is also a powerful racket!

Quote: I have known a lot of players that have changed TO a PowerAngle racket but NONE who have changed from a PowerAngle racket! 
There is one racket in the range for you!
Hope this helps!

Speed Gun on it's way!

Have you ever wanted to know how fast (slow) your server really is?
I have, I know I don't have the fastest serve but now I will be able to see what speed I am serving.
When it arrives I will let you know what my fastest (in court) serve is and I will review the speed gun.

Right it's here, First impression very well made, It takes 5 x AA batteries and is easy to set up (switch one select mph or kph, select still ( For: Tennis serve or Cricket bowler )
and there you go !
Well the fastest speed was 86 mph (not me!) my fastest was 72 mph !
This was with old coaching balls which where wet (honest!)
Will try tomorrow with new dry tennis balls!
It should be fun!
Chippenham Tennis Leader Board 2014: 
Serve speed so far!
Simon Parry 97mph
Oliver Ralton 93mph

John Shipp 83 mph
Dave Giles (Spin) (82 mph) 

Rules: all serves have to be according to the rules (no foot faults, serve has to land in the service box etc)
and to think Serena Williams can beat all of us!
(Think you can do better ! come to the club night and try!)


Review: The speed gun is very easy to set up, it does require 5 x AA batteries.
Generates a lot of interest and would be good for an club competition (Fastest men's / ladies/ Juniors/ Veterans etc)

    Hi I'm Dave Giles, This is my Blog page, please feel free to leave a comment, I will of course review any comment before it is published.
    I have been involved with racket sports for over 40 yrs. I am a string tester for  various companies. I play mostly tennis nowadays but have been tempted back to squash coaching.
