Just this past weekend registration for the 2011 GSS Racquet Stringer’s Symposium was put online.  The dates to reserve are September 24 – 28.  The location is going to be the Saddlebrook Tennis Resort which is located near Tampa in Florida.

While the symposium is always an awesome opportunity for stringers of all levels to learn more and enhance their craft, this year has the potential to be the best ever.  First, the Saddlebrook Resort will offer opportunities to play on all 3 surfaces while attending.  This is a welcome addition as participants will be able to conduct on site playtests and it opens up a world of new possibilities for learning and fun!

Many who have followed this blog over the past year know that I have undergone a significant transformation in my understanding of poly-based strings as well as the techniques/methods used to install the strings.  My mentor, John Elliot of France, has inspired and guided me to becoming a more complete and cerebral stringer throughout my journey of enlightenment.

John, a GSS Symposium stalwart, will once again be participating in this year’s symposium.  John will be managing the open stringing room.  What does this mean for you?  Well, I suspect if you are lucky you might be able to get some personal advice and valuable one-on-one time with John. In addition to all the goodness of the Symposium, some participants will be able to take advantage of John’s availability and possibly learn about his advanced stringing practices.  What could be better? Those interested in this and a variety of outstanding learning opportunities, will want to register to attend the symposium using the following link.
