Stringing for a Professional vs Recreational Player

At any Tour events, the stringing room is always in a frenzy of activities. Players would drop off several rackets asking them to be strung exactly the same. Or each racket would have to differ in tension by exactly a pound or two. 

Multiply those requests by the number of competitors, and you'll understand why each stringer would have to work 10+ hours each day to complete at least 40+ stringjobs. It does not help that players like to drop their rackets off only the day before their game. Or that they'll cut out their strings after each game even if the racket is unused.

In such an environment, would these touring professional really get a better stringjob than us, who drops off our racket to the same chap and get to collect it whenever it is done?

My tennis buddies have shared many stories of nightmare stringjobs they have experienced. With a different batch of stringers at each event, I am sure the touring pros are not exempted. Unless of course, the pros are privileged enough to engage their own racket handlers like PriorityOne.

But this begets the question - which group is more demanding on their stringer, the pro or the leisure player?

In my opinion, the leisure player is more demanding since they expect their stringjobs to last months instead of hours! Leisure players also change rackets, strings and tensions frequently without dedicating sufficient time to test out the new setups thoroughly.

When collecting my rackets from stringers in the past, I witnessed customers refusing to pay and blaming stringers for inconsistent tensions. They bounced the stringbed against their palms and claimed that the tension is off (too tight or too loose) by "X" pounds! Wow! I wondered how they could feel the string tension like that! Here's the secret links if you are curious.... (link1) (link2)

All I'm trying to say is, please be nice to your stringers and be clear of what you want instead of expecting miracles just because your stringer is a legend. 

I've played with nationally ranked players who beat me to a pulp using a borrowed racket from me. And he was wearing track shoes and street clothes that day! Ouch!

Everyone wants the best, but how many are willing to work hard to BECOME the best?
