Hey Carlos! Thanks for asking about the DVD set. It is actually complete. I just need to do two things… Put up a photo of the case and DVDs and put up a link to PayPal. I’ll have both of these items complete within the next day or two, and I will email you at that time. Take care.
Thanks David!!
I got the DVD package by David,and let me tell you its a COMPLETE course on how to string a tennis raquect. David goes over every little detail that you could possibly encounter while learning to string. It teaches you to do one piece or two, and the special topics dvd its great. You can see the patience that David has to explain every step in the process. Overall its a fantastic DVD Course that you should not miss if you want to become a great stringer. And since I got the DVD i have asked him a lot of questions and he has be super available, thanks David for making this great package and for the excellent customer service. Saludos desde Mexico!
Hey Carlos – Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you like the DVDs. As always, if you ever have any questions, please let me know. Either post something here or send me an email at dahenry1@gmail.com. Thanks again. Take care.

I use to string back in the late 70’s early 80’s when I worked part time at a tennis club. I used a Babolat Multilec, but that decades ago and I thought I would need a refresher course so I ordered David’s Learn How To String DVD’s. I can say these DVD’s were excellent! I purchased a stringer and was back up and stringing in no time. Quite a few things had changed when I use to string Wilson Jack Kramer’s and Head Pro’s and the DVD’s made that transition very easy! Great job on the video’s David!
Thanks for the kind words, Jim. I’m thrilled that the DVD’s helped you transition back into stringing. Please reach out to me anytime with questions/comments. Thanks again for buying my DVD set, and thanks again for the kind words.
I have to agree with the comments above that this particular course is comprehensive and detailed. David has really prepared a product that addresses almost every issue one might encounter during the stringing process with tips to add professionalism to the job.
On top of it, David is generous with his time in answering questions via email. For the price, it represents a ridiculous value for the instructional content.
Perhaps best of all, in David, you get to deal with one of the real “good guys” online and support an honest and straightforward small business.
Hey Christopher. Thanks for the extremely kind words. Maybe I should raise my price going forward. 🙂
Take care.

David,
Just want to say how much I appreciated the instruction in the Tennis Racquet Stringing Video Training Course. There was a lot of useful information which I incorporated in my stringing.
Thanks,
Deward
Thanks for the kind words, Deward. I’m glad you found the DVD course useful. Happy stringing!

Hey David,
You’re a real pro when it comes to tennis stringing! The DVD course was awesome! Very easy to follow with well thought out tennis stringing instruction. The Special Topics section of the DVD course was my favorite. Keep up the superb work!

Scott – Thanks so much for the very kind words about my DVD course!
Hi David,
I just would like to say thank you for the wonderful service. You’ve even been gracious to offer help after the sale. It’s quite rare even here in Singapore. 🙂
I’ve gone through a couple of DVDs (One Piece Pattern and Special Topics) and found a lot of helpful information. It’s really very useful for self-taught stringers like me 🙂
Keep it up.
Alvin
Alvin – Thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you find the DVD course (and my customer service) helpful and beneficial. I’ll definitely keep it up! 🙂

My 15 year old son is interested in getting into racket stringing and we are wondering how easy it would be for someone of his age to learn to do it. We’re happy to help him with the investment in equipment, including your DVD set, if it is possible for someone that young to learn the trade and provide a good service.
Peter,
Yes… I think a 15 year old can definitely learn to string racquets and provide good service. It is not so much about age – it is more about attention to detail and and doing things “the right way”. If your son is dedicated to learning this craft, he can easily do so. Like with most new things in life… It can be challenging – and even frustrating – at first, but with time and practice, it gets easier and easier.
Take care.

Hello,
I have recently finished watching the DVD stringing course. As a newcomer to stringing I found it particularly helpful and interesting.
David Henry covers the topic of stringing in a professional, comprehensive and easy to follow way.
I also found David to be very available to answer any questions via email, which is a terrific bonus.
Nathan.
Nathan – Thanks for the kind words about my Learn To String DVD Course. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to post this comment. Very kind of you and very cool of you.
I’m glad you found my course beneficial and easy to follow. That is the goal. 🙂
It has been a pleasure corresponding with you and helping you decide on a new stringing machine.
Thanks again.

Hi David,
Do you despatch your DVD set to the UK?

Yep – sure do. It generally takes two to three weeks to arrive though using the free shipping that is included in the price. Take care. DH
