Tennis Racket Specialists When two tennis players are otherwise equal, the winner will be the one playing with the right racket, suitably strung to take account of his or her individual characteristics. So to get that winning edge and achieve your real potential, you will want to take a little time to consult a qualified expert with up-to-date knowledge. Looking for the distinctive TRS Certified Stringer window sticker at your local sports retailer will ensure you get the best possible advice from a fully accredited expert. This shows you the individual is endorsed by ERSA and the TIA UK and is up to speed on all the latest technologies. Mark Maslowski, the ERSA Director, takes a close look at a stringers work. Picture TIA UK TRS stands for Tennis Racket Specialist, and, rather like a Corgi plumber, when you find one, you can rest assured that this person has attended the course and passed the test to be acknowledged and promoted as a fully accredited TRS Certified Stringer. In fact, the TRS scheme provides retailers with suitable skills to enable them to offer a professional service to consumers dealing in the purchase and maintenance of tennis rackets by encompassing current pre-sales expert advice based on current technologies and relevant post sales services. The aim is to propagate a universal Tennis Racket Specialist scheme throughout the UK to bring a greater degree of knowledge to stringers and help them keep up-to-date with the latest racket and stringing technologies. All for your benefit, the end-user consumer looking for a sure-bet-spend and winning equipment! TRS Certified Stringers are becoming the recognised experts in the field and a real asset to British tennis. Up until now there has been a myriad of advisors out there, some of them good and some not so good... It has been a matter of pot luck as far as the consumer was concerned. 35 As more retailers become accredited to the scheme, you will be able to look on the TIA UK website for your nearest accredited racket specialist. In the meantime, the latest list as at May 2009 is printed herewith for your information. The scheme itself is administered under the auspices of the Tennis Industry Association UK by an independent working group called the TRS Board representing the best interests of all relevant parties — including the manufacturers and the stringing companies. By combining the expertise of the industry, one credible system of training and certification for sports shops and associated teaching professionals is being established throughout the UK. Stringers attend training workshops and are then tested by Master Racquet Technicians from the European Racquet Stringers Association, whose certification system is used to measure standards for TRS Graduates around the world. It is the stated goal of the TRS Board that the scheme is developed and promoted in close co-operation with the Lawn Tennis Association, the British Tennis Coaches Association and the Professional Tennis Registry UK. A TRS workshop in progress.
