We’ve been up since and stringing from 6.15am. We open at 9am and it’s a good feeling to see that the frames that arrived yesterday are now ready for collection. It’s also good to watch the players faces, almost a look of relief and delight that their rackets are ready. Goh V Shem does a quick ping test of his rackets, smiles and looks at me “it’s good” he says.
Throughout the day we receive numerous visitors collecting or delivering badminton rackets. There are many frames from the Korean players. I expect they were in the practice halls because I re-strung two more JS12’s for Kim Gi Jung. Also, it was a pleasure to see Lee Yong Dae (LYD). He visited us on Tuesday morning bringing 3 BS12’s for stringing. I restrung his rackets at a tension of 31/32 lbs. I also restrung a racket for Yoo Yeon Seong (YYS). He sent his racket with another player. Mark restrung Kim Sa Rang’s rackets and was then busy stringing many Meteor 80’s belonging to Son Wan Ho and Lee Dong Keun.
