Quick tip: Hot to elegantly mark clients’ rackets

Some time in the past a problem with a shopper who owns a number of items of the identical rackets and who was “mixing them up” when it got here to complaining a couple of supposedly quick string lifespan. And even when the shopper wasn’t complaining, I feel it is essential to maintain observe of every invidual racket.

Noting down the serial numbers turned out to be not the most effective resolution since a number of producers merely haven’t got a serial quantity seen on the shaft, and on different rackets the numbers had been lined with grip tape. Completely marking the racket with a sharpie or one thing like that additionally was not an possibility.

So I wished to discover a method to mark rackets in a means that’s shortly and straightforward to acknowledge which racket is which – greatest straight from an image and with out essentially having the client noticing it. And if I keep in mind accurately it was in a dialogue with @Mr Arc2 that we got here up with the final thought to make use of grommets for that.

An image says greater than a thousand phrases. Let me current you racket #1 and #3:

So mainly I insert completely different grommets going from 12 o’clock outwards. #1 will get two, #2 will get 4, #3 will get six…. you get the concept. I usually use the sq. headed ones from Li-Ning since additionally they present extra help for these middle essential strings, however mainly you need to use regular coloured grommets or one thing like T-shaped ones.

I’ve finished this now for a number of clients for no less than 2 years and it has confirmed to be a very nice resolution. One look and you already know what you’re coping with.

Hope that is helpful for others as effectively. :)
