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.”
