One conversation at a local club is all it takes to start your own string collection bin. Here is how to turn used strings into fabric.
Serve the question
Talk to your local tennis club or stringer. Ask what they currently do with broken strings.
Call a let
If they throw them away, ask if you can add a broken strings bin for players to drop them in.
Return the volley
Pick up the strings regularly so the bin never overflows and the club sees it is working.
Match point
Ship the collected strings to Let.Tennis by going here and print your label.
