BUILD A SKILL YOU CAN USE

A Clear Path from First Racket to Confident Stringing

Learn in a structured sequence instead of piecing together disconnected tutorials.

  • Follow along: Watch the techniques, pause, and replay as you practice.
  • Protect the racket: Learn mounting, tensioning, clamping, and common mistakes to avoid.
  • Track your progress: Use the workbook, checklists, and practice logs as you build consistency.
  • Put your skills to use: String for yourself, then work toward stringing for others.

Your Lessons. Your Schedule.

The Online Stringer Program is fully self-paced. Work through the videos and workbook at home, with email support when questions come up. No travel or scheduled classes required.

Build a Repeatable Stringing Process

With lessons and regular practice, work toward:

  • Mounting a racket safely and finding its stringing pattern
  • Stringing mains and crosses with consistent technique
  • Weaving efficiently and tying secure finishing knots
  • Spotting common mistakes before they affect the finished job
  • Checking your work before returning a racket

Your progress depends on practice. Use the workbook to record each string job and identify what to improve next.

I’m Drew Clifton

I’m a USRSA Master Racquet Technician and the owner of Frisco Tennis Stringing. I’ve strung and customized more than 1,000 rackets and spent over a decade building my tennis business.

I created Pro Shop Academy to give aspiring stringers the clear instruction I wish I’d had when I started. In this program, I’ll walk you through the equipment, techniques, and habits behind a consistent string job.

What Students and Shop Customers Say

The comments below describe experiences with my teaching and pro shop services.

- Alex

"As a tennis player in college, Drew's classes have really helped when it came to the basics of stringing. Taking his classes can also help you understand on a deeper level how certain strings feel or should feel on the racquet. He also gives you a great understanding of how to use multiple kinds of string machines, and of course his own recommendations on what string machines to use. Would recommend to anyone interested in stringing, it's worth the time and money."

- Shereef

“Drew was a masterful teacher. He taught me how to string and he made sure he covered good standards and recommendations in every step. Having the right foundation for anything new you learn is essential and judging by my experience, I would highly recommend Drew to give you that foundation.”

- Paul

“I’ve been getting my rackets strung by Drew for years, and I absolutely love the pro shop he’s built — it’s become my go-to for everything tennis.”
