    I agree. Personally, I never use the big chain's price as a reasonable reference, as mostly they don't know what they are doing. ;)

    Story: Been here about 3 times. Nice atmosphere, service is good. However the string tension is quite loose compared to Sports experts( post above). Only problem ive had was that I asked for my racket to be done by the next day in the late afternoon and when i got there it wasn't even strung yet. I would of expected a call or notification since they asked for my phone number when i took it in the get it restrung.

    cost for bg65: pretty sure its $15
    cost for bg80: no idea
    rating: +2~3
    story: its decent, not the best, its definitely usable, but sometimes the job gets rushed.

    i find that yo's stringing is actually accurate, good, and top quality, but his price reflects his experience. $18 for bg65 and bg68ti for $26.. insane..

    story:Very good stringer that is very conscientious about his stringing, helps to change/turn grommets without asking and is cheaper and better then most stringers outside. Glad i found him as he lives near me, also a very nice guy.

    Cost (include stringing or just the string,the same price)for

    BG65: 25RMB
    BG65ti: 32RMB
    BG80: 35RMB
    BG85: 35RMB
    BG68ti: 35RMB
    BG70pro: 30RMB
    BG95: 40RMB


    Rating:9/10. They provide the best stringing job in town.Good,standard tension.The only store that has the gut to string at high tension.While some other stores,they will just do it,but they'll lower down the tensions without informing u..or they will simply reject it.Sort of to minimize the risk.

    In my area, decent stringing is around $15 without strings included.

    So unhappy as I snapped a BG65 on my new at900p which I got only 2 days ago and I only used it for one session..

    Guys, can you leave the name of shop or the address in case (of beer) another member is looking for a place to string?
    Thanks!
