The String Doctor

@monsieur_doobs They measure dynamic tension of the string bed as opposed to tension the string's been pulled. They're most useful for checking consistency and tension loss. Dynamic tension is normally lower than pulled tension in tennis rackets and higher on squash rackets due to surface area.

@stringdoctor79 How accurate is it?

Racket tuning...

@EmyrevoEmyr Best of luck mate. Great win yesterday.

Buzzing with the win today. Second round tomorrow v Nathan lake 7:15pm 💪🏻

Want to see my favourite way to string the @DunlopSquash Evolution 120 Sonic Core racket - the signature frame of The Wolf, Nick Matthew 🐺 youtu.be/cJVCQTR3OM4?si…

@xelatlbr @BJOsquash @DunlopSquash Correct. Although he has also used elite coloured rackets too. Possibly when Dunlop ran out of his custom frames.

@stringdoctor79 @BJOsquash @DunlopSquash Elias utilise tout le temps une élite peinte à ultimate il a un plan de cordage en 14x18 qui n’est que sur la Elite . La GG custom Elite est aussi en 14x18 .

Fun at the @BJOsquash with the @DunlopSquash guys, stringing a few rackets for them. Including this amazing custom GG Elite (for Chris, Dunlop) and some rackets for U19's champ, Zakaria. 👌

@xelatlbr @BJOsquash @DunlopSquash This is a GG custom elite with the correct string pattern. Elias has used an Elite painted in ultimate colours previously.

@stringdoctor79 @BJOsquash @DunlopSquash Ici c’est la couleur de l’élite mais avec le motif de cordage (16x19) de l’ultimate ? On s’y perd parfois avec les raquettes que les joueurs utilisent et celle du commerce .. comme pour Elias qui a une Élite peint en ultimate 132

@haleselectrical @daihowe @scott_fitzy @sqwales @BridgendJunior @BridgendTennis Great stuff. 💪

It's not very often you get to train with a Welsh ex-pro & Commonwealth Games competitor! Huge thanks to @daihowe for arranging a session with @scott_fitzy tonight, awesome session, thanks Scott👍 @sqwales @BridgendJunior @BridgendTennis

Want to know how to string @paulcollsquash latest @head_squash Radical 135SB racket in the AFP (adaptive fan pattern) option like Paul uses? Here you go. Thanks @ljmassaro for helping to arrange. 🤩 youtu.be/qQp9ODGBL9Y?si…

@andywhipp @RamyAshour @MoElshorbagy @PSAWorldTour Something about Mo and Ramy just clicked on court. Some of the most impressive squash I've ever seen. And to think this is well over a decade ago. Kids coming through the ranks need to watch these guys playing 💪

The actual best rally of all time. 2012 World Championship Final. @RamyAshour vs @MoElshorbagy 9-9 in the 4th. Silly, silly stuff! @PSAWorldTour

@RickyWSQ Nope, as mentioned it's not uncommon to see seedings different to current world rankings. Happens all the time in US Open, Wimbledon and other tennis slams.

@stringdoctor79 Pretty sure the draw ceremonies in tennis at least for the big events are done very close to the event.

Still don’t get how these draws are released so early. With weekly rankings and still 2 events in between would it not make sense to take those results into account? Also from the looks of it the draw is not looking at this week’s changes. Asal is 4th seed but ranked 3rd

@RickyWSQ @schnozliman So players and organisers can make travel and hotel arrangements etc. wouldn't be fair to do it, say, the week before as all the players on the edges would need to cancel other tournaments. Happens in all major tournaments, from football through to tennis. Squash is not alone.

@stringdoctor79 @schnozliman To be clear, I didn’t mean to single out the British Open… this happens with every PSA tournament. Just trying to understand why potentially “outdated” rankings are used to create these draws. By the time the actual event comes along there may be more accurate rankings.

@schnozliman @RickyWSQ Are you seriously suggesting that the US take over running the British Open? The clue is in the title of the event.

@RickyWSQ Amateurism as per... americans should take over asap. Brits and co. have had their chance. Sport's simply not uoing anywhere with current people in charge

@EmyrevoEmyr Great work mate 💪

@samtan999 @RhysEva47692542 @GtSquash @sqwales Fantastic game, brutal squash. Top effort from Rhys as ever. 💪

What an unbelievable semi final in the Aldi Hinckley Challenger 2024 unfortunately @RhysEva47692542 narrowly lost 3-2 in 83mins of brutal squash. What a performance, what an unbelievable attitude, big things lie ahead mate, I’m so proud of you ❤️@GtSquash @sqwales

@BernatJaume Well done mate. Looking good on court.

@owaint016 Well done mate, solid effort 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪

Not to be for me in the final today. Pleased with a good week all round and eager to kick on for the rest of the season 👊🏼

@RhysEva47692542 @MattGregory02 @harripugh Great effort mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏆

Happy to have won my first PSA Challenger event the other week in Gloucester, strong performances all week. Thanks to @MattGregory02 and @harripugh for coming all the way to watch, friends you need in life for sure👊🏼next tournament is in Bristol starting Thursday.

@xelatlbr @Mattsidaway @DunlopSquash Main difference is head size. Beachill racket has a smaller head - Better for control. JP racket has larger head - easier power.

@stringdoctor79 @Mattsidaway @DunlopSquash Il y a beaucoup de différence entre lee beachill et la bleu jonathan power

Sometimes you get 1 of these rackets in for a restring. Sometimes you get 3. The rare, expensive and widely regarded as one of the most playable rackets in recent history... the @DunlopSquash JP ICE Elite
