Tim is the first racket technician that actually LISTENED to me when I asked for my restring to be strung loose. He set tension to 50 pounds, which is loose enough for strings to shift, but plays just the way I like.I asked Tim to surprise me on colors... He put blue strings and blue accent grip on my navy frame. I call ot "Cool Blue" now.Looks great, plays great... 24 hr turn around time (for me). Smooth transaction! We are so lucky to have such a knowledgeable guy in the area. He should be charging double what he does. He wouldn't lose any customers!!!

Tim recently strung my racquet. I don't know a ton about strings, but his experience speaks for itself as he has apparently strung racquets for pros. His advice was great. The turnaround time was very quick despite a long weekend. Payment was simple and very reasonably priced. He places an over grip on for free. I took the racquet for a spin today and after getting used to it, it really felt great in my hands. If these strings have any issues in the future I'll try to update my review to inform you, but Tim is great and I would definitely recommend him. Had a great experience.

Just have to echo the rest of the reviewers here - Tim is great. Knowledgeable, and wants you to get the most out of your racket based on your playstyle. And very affordable too! Only issue with my last visit is the over-grip he put on my racket (at no additional charge) immediately started chafing as I used it, so I'd recommend purchasing a better one and asking him to use that instead.

We were on vacation in Roanoke, Virginia and decided to find me a tennis racket. Google showed Baselines Racquet Sports as the best place. Having gone there using the navigator, we arrived in an area with private houses. I said that this was not a store at all, and that we had messed something up. However, as we were almost leaving, we noticed a badge with rackets near the house. The owner, Tim, greeted us. It turned out that this was not a store at all, but a service center for string tensioning. Tim invited us to come inside. We didn’t find a racket that day, but we met a real professional in his field! Tim has been working in this field for many years, has provided services during tennis championships, and knows world celebrities. He advised me completely free of charge, told me about all the parameters of the racket I needed (I’m an amateur, I started playing a year ago). Tim is a very nice person! If you are looking for professional advice or need string tensioning, this service is for you. I recommend!

Called Tim in a pinch, out of town and popped strings. He was gracious enough to stay open late and restring a racquet for my daughter's high school state championship. We were astounded by his professionalism, knowledge, and friendly demeanor. Supurb job that helped our daughter take a gold and silver. Sure wish he lived closer to us....considering mailing all our work to him.

Tim Strawn is one of the best, if not THE best, stringers in THE WORLD, and obviously is very knowledgeable in the field. In addition, he uses a very, very top-notch stringing machine. He offers great advice, regarding tension, string selection, grips, etc. He has an obvious passion for tennis, and that goes a long way. If you prefer the best, then here it is.
