Four taps and you are done. Nothing to pay now.
Anything marked In stock is on the shelf right now.
Natural gut is pre-stretched 10% as standard. Say the word if you want more.
All optional. Fitted while your racquet is on the machine.
Need it sooner than any of that, or a match tomorrow? Call me and we will sort it out. There is nearly always a way.
So I know whose racquet it is and where to text you when it is done.
Paying now makes the hand-off about ten seconds. Totally fine to pay at the car instead.
I hit the deadline or the labor is free. If I say tomorrow and it is not ready tomorrow, you do not pay the $30. That is the whole promise and I have never needed a clause under it.
If you are running late, nothing bad happens. The clock starts when the racquet is actually in my hands, so a late drop-off just moves the ready time by the same amount. Text me and I will tell you the new time.
Miss the window entirely? No charge, no drama. We pick another time. If you paid already the credit just sits on your account until you use it.
Pickups have a 15 minute grace either side. Traffic here is what it is.
Nothing to pay now. Tap your phone or card when I hand it back.
Next day is standard and free. Every fifth restring is on me.
Tell me what you want and that is exactly what you get. But if you are curious whether something else would suit you better, that is the part I enjoy most.
Only ever a suggestion. Plenty of people know exactly what they like and I just string it.
Arm has been sore. Worth trying something softer and a few pounds lower. Stiff poly at high tension is hard on an elbow, and a lot of people are in it without ever having chosen it.
Heavy topspin, all over the court. A textured poly tends to suit, tension matched to your swing speed.
Baseline rallies with friends. A soft multifilament usually feels better and is more fun when nobody is keeping score.
Competitive, chase everything. Control first. Firmer, tighter, more predictable on the stretch.
Ball keeps sailing long. Often too much power in the string bed, which is a cheaper fix than a new racquet.
Want to try something new? If it turns out not to be for you, I will put your old setup back and the labor is on me.
Forty-five minutes at your court, $95, included on the Team and Estate plans.
I bring two or three racquets strung with different setups and you hit them back to back, in your own conditions. Instead of guessing from a review online you feel the difference between a firm poly and a soft multi with your own swing. I watch how you actually play while you do it, and by the end you know what you want and why.
$32, and it makes any racquet one full grip size bigger.
If your handle has always felt slightly too small, or you bought the only size the shop had, this fixes it properly. A heat shrink sleeve builds the handle up evenly, without the lumps you get from stacking overgrips, then I finish it with a new replacement grip. Price includes the sleeve, the grip and the work. Add $5 if the old grip has gone sticky, since those take real scraping to remove.
Monthly, cancel any time, string included.
I am Danny. I have spent years in tennis retail here on the Westside, behind the counter and on the machine, recommending string setups and stringing everything that came through the door. Wood-era vintage frames, kids' racquets, pickleball and padel paddles, and every current release the week it lands.
That also means grip work done properly: build-ups to get a handle to the size you actually want, replacement grips and overgrips finished clean, and grommet strips fitted when they can be sourced.
The reason I am doing this on my own is simple. I would rather take the time over your racquet myself, get the details right, and remember what you like, than take it across a counter and pass it to whoever is next on the machine.
Dropping it off yourself:
• Next day, free. Drop any time up to 9pm, back the following day.
• Same day, +$15. Get it to me by 12:30 and it is done that evening.
• After 12:30, +$25. Call first. If nothing else is on the bench I can usually still turn it around, and I would much rather do that than send you somewhere else.
If I pick it up and drop it back:
• Add a day. Pickups run before 3pm, after 7pm or Sundays, so a Tuesday morning collection normally comes back Wednesday.
• Same day with pickup only works if I can collect before 3pm.
League members and above get same day guaranteed with no fee.
Between 3 and 7 the Westside stops moving. One rush-hour round trip can eat two hours that should have been stringing, which would push everyone else's racquet back a day. So pickups run before 3, after 7, or on Sundays when the roads are empty. Dropping off takes two minutes and is always free.
Tap your phone or card at the curb when I hand the racquet back, or Venmo. Nothing to pay when you book and nothing to set up beforehand.
Yes, and I string a lot of it. I just do not stock it, because carrying gut ties up more money than a one-person shop can justify and I would rather not mark it up to cover that. Bring your own set and it is the $30 labor, full bed or hybrid.
Install is $17, labor only. If you already have the strip, bring it with the racquet.
If you need me to find one, ask a week or two ahead. I do not keep them in stock, so I order it in and wait for it to arrive. You pay whatever the strip and shipping cost me, plus the $17. On older or discontinued frames they sometimes cannot be found at all, and I will tell you that before you commit rather than after.
Just off San Vicente in Brentwood, right by the old shop. I send the exact spot when you book. I also cover Westwood, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Bel-Air for pickup and delivery.
