    Luxilon ALU Power

    Type: Polyester

    Color: Silver

    On tour: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Ons Jabeur, and Karen Khachanov

    Babolat RPM Blast

    Type: Polyester

    Color: Black

    A co-polyester with an octagonal profile built for heavy topspin. The slick surface lets the strings snap back quickly, adding bite and control on aggressive swings. Durable enough for players who break strings often.

    On tour: Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Leylah Fernandez

    Intermediate or Advanced

    Recommended for spin-heavy baseliners and string breakers

    $50.00 total · includes free overgrip

    Type: Polyester

    Color: Yellow

    A softer co-polyester and a long-time favorite on tour. Offers precise, predictable control with above-average comfort for a poly, and Yonex pre-stretches it during manufacturing to help it hold tension longer.

    On tour: Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, Casper Ruud, Nick Kyrgios, and Naomi Osaka

    Intermediate or Advanced

    Recommended for players who want poly control with a softer feel

    $50.00 total · includes free overgrip

    Type: Polyester

    Color: Blue

    Stringer's pick: The string in my own racquet. Spin, control, and comfort at a great price.

    My Story

    Racquet mounted on a stringing machine in the Birdman Strings workshop in Odessa, FL

    I started stringing racquets because strings were lasting me only about 2–3 hours on the court. My racquet stringing costs were going through the roof, so I purchased a stringing machine and got a few years of experience stringing for myself and my hitting partners.

    My professional stringing career began at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland, where I was a coach and the club's racquet technician while attending business school at the University of Maryland. I had the privilege of stringing for the University of Maryland Tennis Team, internationally ranked ITF juniors, and professional ATP & WTA Tour players.

    Customer tennis racquets lined up against a net with a Birdman Strings towel at a court in Pasco County, FL

    I decided to put my tennis knowledge and experience to use by providing stringing services to Southern Maryland, where I strung hundreds of racquets for the local tennis community. Now based in Odessa, I'm happy to bring Birdman Strings to the Pasco County and Greater Tampa Bay tennis community. Growing up, I had a knowledgeable stringer who made a real difference in my game. Now I get to do the same for yours.
