Why do we engage in Badminton Stringing?

As is well-known, ERR always prioritizes the perspective of professional players, particularly for badminton enthusiasts. Our Master Racquet Technician (Certified Stringer), Mr. Eric Chuar, is also one of the badminton coaches in Malaysia, which is why he places great emphasis on stringing quality and the fundamentals of badminton.

For many years, ERR has remained steadfast in providing professional badminton stringing services from our home-based facility, rather than expanding into sports stores or retail shops, despite being recognized as the provider of the highest standard of badminton restringing services in Malaysia.

What is the current landscape of badminton restringing services in Malaysia? There is much more to explore, but today we will focus on understanding these three concepts:

  1. Stringing Services offered by Sports Shops, Badminton Stores, and Retail Shops
  2. Stringing Services provided by Group Members, Weekly Games, and Badminton Game Organizers
  3. Stringing Services offered by Badminton Academies, Training Centers, and Badminton Coaches

Stringing Services for Sports Shops, Badminton Sports Stores, and Retail Badminton Shops

Explanation 1 – Business concepts for sports shops in Malaysia often include badminton stringing services. Most of them aim to provide convenience to their customers and become a one-stop sports shop in Malaysia. For instance, they offer racquets for sale along with stringing services to encourage customers to return and support their badminton sports business.

This is especially relevant for retail badminton shops. When they need more customers, they have to stock new brands of rackets and strings, such as Yonex’s new rackets and equipment. These stocks can be quite expensive, and it may take some time to sell them. Consequently, their cash flow gets tied up in these items, making it challenging for them. Offering badminton restringing services can help cover part of their expenses, such as rental costs.

Stringing Services by Retail Badminton Shop – Good or Bad?

Explanation 1.1 – The provision of stringing services by retail badminton shops can be beneficial. However, there are situations where it may not be favorable. For example, if the business is struggling due to increased prices from brand dealers and stiff competition in the sports business, they might have to raise their prices. This can deter customers who perceive their services as expensive. To cope, they might hire unprofessional stringers at lower costs, resulting in lower stringing quality. In such cases, it’s not entirely their fault; they’re trying to survive.

What Happens When the Restringing Services Business Is Booming?

Explanation 1.2 – Conversely, when the business is booming, and there’s only one or two stringers with limited stringing machines, they may rush to complete stringing orders without giving too much attention to quality. They are driven by customer demand and may not have the time to perfect each stringing job. Some sports shop stringers may prioritize based on a player’s skill level. If they think the customer knows little about badminton or stringing and plays at a beginner’s level, they may string the racket haphazardly because they assume the customer won’t notice. When they see the customer playing regularly, they may restring the racket properly. This practice, aimed at saving time, can give the impression that Malaysia’s stringing services are all the same, with normal quality and nothing exceptional.

Stringing Services for Group Members, Weekly Games, and Badminton Game Organizers

Explanation 2 – Stringing services for group members, weekly games, and badminton game organizers are another sound business concept in Malaysia. During their weekly badminton games, our Certified badminton stringer often receives rackets from group members. This convenience benefits group members who participate in weekly games together. Our Certified Stringer is familiar with their playing levels and styles, enabling him to offer advice on string selection and stringing patterns to improve their performance. He also collects feedback, which benefits him as well.

Stringing Services by Badminton Game Organizer – Good or Bad?

Explanation 2.1 – Some badminton game organizers, as their group of weekly game members grows, consider enhancing member convenience and exploring business opportunities. This approach is understandable; no one wants to invest time without earning money. Some are influenced by successful examples like ERR, which is well-known and likely earns a considerable income from restringing services. Therefore, organizers start sourcing and purchasing stringing machines, strings, and offer stringing services to their weekly badminton game group members at a slightly lower price. This not only serves their members but also supports friends and acquaintances, saving them the trouble of going to Queensway Shopping Centre.

Why Casual Players Deserve Good Stringing Services?

Explanation 2.2 – This stringing services concept is beneficial, particularly for casual players, friends, and those who enjoy playing badminton without aspiring to be professionals. These services are a significant help to them and promote mutual support. While casual players may not require the highest stringing quality since they are not highly skilled, our Certified Stringer believes that even these so-called ‘casual badminton players’ deserve high-quality restringing services. Such services can motivate them to continue playing the sport over the long term. Sometimes, when we have a better stringing or equipment experience, it can encourage us to play more frequently, even when busy. We believe that slightly better casual players will understand what we’re trying to convey.

What Happens if Game Organizers Provide Stringing Services?

Explanation 2.3 – If game organizers purchase a machine and learn to string on their own, they might use improper methods and lack the foundation for professional stringing. This can result in strings breaking easily or lasting too long without repulsion, leading players to believe that the string’s quality is poor. Players may attribute this to their own playing level or believe that all stringing services are the same, which can hinder their progress in badminton. This is why our Certified Stringer teaches his students how to choose good stringing and even provides stringing courses to game organizers, ensuring that they offer quality services to their members.

Stringing Services by Badminton Academy, Training, and Badminton Coach

Explanation 3 – Stringing services for badminton academy students cater to beginners who may not consistently hit the shuttle at the sweet spot, leading to frequent string breakage. Coaches or academies may invest in stringing machines to provide convenient and affordable services to their students and parents. This aligns with our Certified Stringer’s approach, as both a Certified badminton coach and stringer, who aims to offer professional stringing services at affordable prices.

What Is Most Important When Providing Stringing Services for Students?

Explanation 3.1 – The primary goal remains the same: ensuring that students improve their playing skills and receive stringing services that meet professional standards. Quality coaching, coupled with high-quality stringing, boosts students’ confidence. Our Certified Stringer’s approach has been successful in guiding students from beginners to enter Malaysia Sports School and become national players. By maintaining the right standards, more players can excel. Sometimes, he may even string rackets for his students for free because they are still his students, and not everything has to be strictly business. Those who have been with him understand his character well. Our Certified Stringer believes in contributing to the community by sharing his knowledge of stringing. It’s not about boasting about one’s skills, the number of stringing certifications, or how long one has been in the stringing business in Malaysia. Instead, the focus should be on raising the entire badminton community rather than promoting a personal brand.

Stringing Services by Badminton Game Organizer – Good or Bad?

in badminton or participate in competitions, they should still receive high-quality stringing services. Even though these students may not demand the same level of stringing quality as professional players, our Certified Stringer believes that they deserve top-notch services. Why? Because professional stringing services can inspire them to continue playing badminton. Sometimes, when players have better equipment or strings that offer improved sound or comfort, they are more likely to play regularly, even when they have busy schedules.

What Happens When Game Organizers Provide Stringing Services?

Explanation 3.3 – When game organizers decide to purchase stringing machines and offer stringing services, they contribute to the convenience of their members and friends. This not only saves students and parents time but also helps them avoid the hassle of searching for stringing services elsewhere, potentially getting overcharged by sports shops with inflated prices or receiving low-quality services. Similar to our Certified Stringer, who is both a Certified badminton coach and stringer, these organizers aim to provide professional stringing services at affordable rates.

Ultimately, the focus is on improving the student’s playing abilities and ensuring that they receive high-quality stringing services that align with professional standards. Our Certified Stringer’s successful approach has guided many students from beginner levels to enter the Malaysia Sports School and become national players. By maintaining these high standards, more players have the opportunity to excel. Sometimes, he may even provide stringing services for his students for free, as a gesture of support. This reflects his commitment to the badminton community by sharing his knowledge of stringing. It’s not about self-promotion, accumulating certifications, or bragging about one’s experience in the Malaysian stringing business. Instead, it’s about uplifting the entire badminton community and fostering a spirit of mutual support.
