Excluded Racquets

The whole point of on-the-spot stringing is to get our customers super fast racquet stringing at a super cheap price. In order to ensure that we can do this for our customers, we only permit racquets that are easy to string and can be done quickly.

On-the-spot racquet stringing is not available for Ektelon racquetball racquets or other complicated racquets with odd stringing patterns that slow things down for everyone in line. Racquets with complex stringing patterns may be exempted on a case-by-case basis.

What is not included:

On-the-Spot stringing is discount stringing; it is not custom stringing. Therefore the following services are not included:

• discount stringing does not include thorough frame cleaning
• discount stringing does not include grommet repairs
• discount stringing does not include bumper guard replacement
• discount stringing does not come with a warranty
• discount stringing does not come with warranty support (should your frame break)

All of these services, however, are included with custom stringing.
