More entries in the Pro Equipment log

Thanks to Doug Denton, we now have 300 new entries for our searchable, sortable Pro Equipment listing (available to USRSA members only).

There are now 17,732 entries, the latest additions being from the 2013 Southern California Open and the 2013 BNP Paribas Open.

Along with the new entries, the racquet, main string, and cross string cross-tab pages now reflect the new data.

If you're not a USRSA member, why not sign up and start the New Year off on the right foot.

New manual added: Yonex Protech8 stringing machine

USRSA members now have access to the manual for Yonex's incredible-looking new Protech8. You'll find the manual on-line here.

New string color and length tool on RacquetTECH.com

We've just released our latest RacquetTECH.com on-line tool: The String Color & Lengths tool. This invaluable reference helper, which is available to USRSA members, allows you to search our database of available strings to find the color string you want, or the length when you need something out of the ordinary.

Stringing for a school team and want to use their school colors? The String Color & Lengths tool will show you every string offered in the color(s) you want, allowing you to pick the brand and individual string that fills the bill.

Or, maybe you're stringing a super oversize racquet and the standard forty-foot reel isn't covering it. Now you can easily search and/or sort for extra-length strings, and see what other strings might be available in reels.

The String Color & Lengths tool allows you to search our entire listing of strings at once, or search by string name, length, and/or color, and then sort the results.

The String Color & Lengths tool -- just one more reason to become a USRSA member today.

String Selection Map

We used to provide a the complete String Selection Map on the Racquet Sports Industry site, but with the introduction of the PDF version of the full magazine, the "text" version of this valuable tool showed the main article and usage notes, but neither the data nor the illustrations.

We've fixed that now with the addition of the String Selection Map to the USRSA member section. This means you have to be a USRSA member to use it, but that's just one more reason to become a member today, isn't it?

Pro equipment listing

It took longer than expected to clean up the pro log data from the 2011 BNP Paribas Open, but it's finally done. The additional 1,772 entries bring the total number of entries to 16,641. If you're not a USRSA member, this is just one of the tremendous resources you're missing.

New look for the Digest On-line

The Stringers Digest On-line, one of the top destinations for USRSA members seeking stringing information, has been given a facelift. Now, instead of displaying results in a wide table and tiny print, the Digest On-line shows preliminary results in a summary table with full-size print, which allows you quickly to find the exact racquet you're seeking.

Then, clicking on the row that shows the summary information for that racquet reveals another row with the full stringing information, including an image of the racquet (if available).

We've also added other niceties such as row highlighting to make it easier to keep your place when looking at long tables of stringing information.

See the Digest On-line here.

Parallel axis tool

A member alerted us to the fact that our two parallel axis on-line tools returned different results, in addition to presenting a slightly different input form to the member. So, we double-checked the calculations against an actual racquet, merged the two on-line tools into one, removed the superfluous page, and pointed all links to the remaining revised page.

Updated: Racquet Mass Mover calculator

We've updated the Racquet Mass Mover calculator to include First Moment, both for the starting specs and for the racquet with all changes to mass and mass distribution.

We also reformatted the calculator in the hopes of making it easier to use and understand. Check it out!

On-line stringing machine manuals

We've added a page to our member-only reference section for stringing machine manuals. We have 39 manuals to start, and it's our hope to expand this to include just about every machine out there. These manuals augment our existing Calibration pages.

If you have a manual for a machine we don't list, let us know.
